UK regulator dismisses Bell's palsy fears over Pfizer vaccine after report reveals four cases of face paralysis in 22,000 people in the US – but the condition happens JUST as often in the general population
on the upside, it's not always permanent and antivirals seem to be a good treatment 🙃
Page 6: "Among non-serious unsolicited adverse events, there was a numerical imbalance of four cases of Bell’s palsy in the vaccine group compared with no cases in the placebo group, though the four cases in the vaccine group do not represent a frequency above that expected in the general population."
However, is true that is normal numbers within normal population:
Page 1: "The annual incidence of Bell palsy is about 20 per 100,000, and the incidence increases with age. It is seen as often in men as in women.Those at high risk include pregnant women and people with diabetes mellitus 1 About 10% of those with Bell palsy have a family history of the condition."
The people that received the whole vaccine dosage were about 18.000 in total; 20 per 100.000 is 2 per 10.000. In 18.000 people you would expect 4 people with Bell's palsy appear randomly.
No cases in the same 18.000 placebo group is still within reasonable coincidence numbers. Is about 10% chances that no cases appear just by chance.
Yeah no side affect at all because people normally develop Bells Palsy. Just because these people developed Bells Palsy right after vaccination, doesn’t mean it was caused by the vaccine
Isn't that 20 per 100,000 over the population as a whole, not the number of people who develop it over a shortish period, such as when the trial took place?
Is this a trustable source?
As trustable as any US MSM
here's the deboonking if you want to upside down world some logic out of this:

More! Haha! Hell, BabylonBee has a better record than CNN and NBC!
Lol name even 3
Maybe ones that only report on astronomy or something?
TheDonald win is the only one.
Oan and that’s it!
No, is not.

20 in 100.000 is the population as a whole yes. That paper that I linked about Bell's palsy is from 2005, way before corona was a thing.
My grandfather had bells palsy from an accident in surgery. I want no part of that. I'd rather take my chances.
