I have a friend who now has neuropathy from having Covid
I did find one report from the NIH of confirmed GBS after the Pfizer vaccine. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7978140/
I believe it is still considered an extremely rare reaction - lower in incidence than after some of the flu vaccines. IVIG and/or steroids are the standard treatments. I used steroids to call the inflammatory reaction to both flu & Pfizer vaccines. These are short-term boosts for helping the body fight, not long-term prescriptions.
