She might be right, but to this day no link between vaccines and GBS, in fact the evidence is quite clear its not going to be.
In your 2nd story they even mention the most common reasons for triggering of GBS:

According to the Public Health Agency, there are about 600-700 new GBS cases a year in Canada, caused usually by food-borne bacteria, respiratory infections or surgery.

As is often with non medical people if something makes you I'll near anything like a flu shot you'll blame the flu shot. Because your no expert your feeling or gut instinct takes over, queue Mommy instinct Jenny McCarthy.
Again, GBS is very rare, and no link to vaccines has been found. 1 in a Million type deal, but the risks of flu's to you or those around you are substantially higher.
I'm not a hardcore advocate of flu shots, I am someone who gets them, not for me but my elderly father and the many young children/babies I come in close proximity with now being in Iceland where everyone seems to have a new baby these days.
