You should have mentioned that the 532 cases of Guillan-Barré were found within the 48 million people receiving the swine flu vaccine.
Accordig to Wikipedia, the incidence of Guillam-Barré is about 2 per 100,000 people per year.
Statistically speaking, your example suggests that taking the swine flu vaccine is linked with a lower incidence of Guillam-Barre syndrome, nearly lowering it to about 60% of the baseline.
If we're allowed to play fast and loose with back-of-the-napkin statistics, your example contradicts your original claims, and indeed makes a strong case in favour of vaccination.
