Bells paralysis is interesting also

The FDA said that there were four reported cases of Bell’s palsy among Moderna’s 30,000 trial participants, including three who got the vaccine.
However, “currently available information is insufficient to determine a causal relationship with the vaccine,” the FDA wrote in briefing documents.

so it is interesting one of the “placebo “ people got it, or is it ?

looks like 1 in 8000 people get every year so we see en extremely high number of extra cases that would not be expected statistically

There was a lot of information that I could not find when looking into this

A CNN medical correspondent was commenting about how we shouldn’t be surprised if people die after taking the vaccine, though I think he was trying to say “vaccinating the elderly, some of the old will die”.

The really F-ed up thing was arguing you still have to wear a mask and stay home despite having the vaccine, because you might spread it. Uh, if you can still get it and still have to abide by restrictions, what’s the point?
