For years on end, folks around the world were told they needed to get the COVID vaccine. Not only were they assured the vaccine was “safe and effective,” but certain countries and communities implemented serious restrictions on folks who opted not to get the shot.

The clear objective was to criminalize (or otherwise make life as hard as possible for) people who decided against being vaccinated against COVID. These people were also maliciously slandered as so-called conspiracy theorists and kooks.

Fast forward to present day and it turns out the COVID vaccine is not all that it was cracked up to be. Not only does the shot fail to save its recipients from being infected with COVID or capable of spreading the virus, but it also comes with some nasty side effects.

People in Peru are experiencing this firsthand, per the Gateway Pundit.

The Peruvian government recently announced a state of emergency, due to growing numbers of its residents coming down with Guillain-Barre syndrome.

This is nothing to mess around with and should be taken seriously. Guillain-Barre syndrome happens when a person’s nervous system is essentially attacked by their immune system. This health condition can lead to paralysis and other negative, lifelong ramifications.

The state of emergency in Peru will last for three months. Within this timeframe, the government is hoping to get hold of what’s going on and keep things from spiraling even further out of control.

When the COVID vaccines initially came out, many folks warned they arrived too quickly, were approved too soon, and didn’t go through the necessary procedures for clearance.

Now, people around the world are seeing the consequences of this play out. Some folks who are struggling with Guillain-Barre syndrome or other adverse side effects from the COVID vaccine will never be the same again.

Things didn’t have to turn out this way.
