Viral illnesses can result also in GB syndrome too.

It is also listed on vaccine side effects, and if you listen to the TV ads for the various vaccines, it will be mentioned too.

A neighbor of mine just finished Chemo and shortly thereafter, in the spring had a short viral upper respiratory infection, and within a week a full blown GB started. And within 2 days she was in the hospital, and stayed there almost a month. They put her on plasmapheresis for several days. This was new back then 30 yrs ago, but she recovered quickly. Being a hospital employee it was free (they paid for whatever the insurance rejected back then).
But in her PT recovery therapy, she met some who were paralyzed for a year or more with a poor prognosis. She was only in her mid-forties then.

GB seems to be an autoimmune reaction to viral infections and vaccines and so far is difficult to predict who will manifest it.
