The researchers stressed that the risk of GBS was “very small” in proportion to the benefits that Covid vaccines offered. For every million doses of the jab that were administered, there were less than six extra cases of GBS, according to the study.

I’m glad the article actually listed some figures.
And I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that for every million doses NOT administered, there were more than 6 extra deaths from COVID.

Also: do we maybe know of any cases of COVID also causing this? If so; at what rate?

Because that was definitely the case with myocarditis.
