Experts say they have not established a causal link between the incidents and the jabs.

Two more Hong Kong people have died and another nine have suffered temporary facial paralysis after receiving Covid-19 vaccines, an expert panel has reported.

The latest deaths mean 10 people have now died in the city after vaccination, nine of whom received the Chinese-made Sinovac jab and one the German BioNTech, while a total of 11 have experienced the facial condition known as Bell’s Palsy. Experts have not found any link to the inoculations.

In the latest cases, Bell’s Palsy was reported in nine men aged between 39 and 86, eight of whom received the Sinovac vaccine while the other received the BioNTech vaccine. Two men aged 58 and 69 earlier reported experiencing the same condition after receiving Sinovac.

The condition is listed as a rare side-effect of the BioNTech vaccine. The committee’s convener Dr. Ivan Hung said statistics indicate that 110 people aged above 16 — that is 1.67 in every 100,000 individuals — experienced Bell’s Palsy during the same period of time between 2018 and 2020 in Hong Kong.

“If we find that the [post-vaccine] numbers are statistically higher than the baseline during a longer period, between three to six months, we will advise the vaccines expert committee, Food and Health Bureau and the relevant manufacturers to update their product description,” Hung said. “It requires a longer-term comparison.”

The second case was a 80-year-old woman who died 17 days after vaccination. Both received the Sinovac vaccine but had a history of chronic disease including hypertension and diabetes.

The experts reviewed the mortality rate for individuals above 60 during the same period of time between 2017 and 2019 and found no unusual pattern with the latest deaths.

The free mass vaccination programme normally offers either Sinovac or BioNTech. But the BioNTech programme was temporarily suspended on Wednesday due to damaged packaging in one of the batches.

"Chinese-made Sinovac jab"

No thanks! Reports from Brazil say this thing is 50/50 at best, and I have no trust in anything made in China. I'm happy with Made in America on this one!

Apparently the CCP government has decreed that ONLY folks who have gotten the Sinovac will be granted a visitor’s visa for the near term future. IOW, if you have to go to China you have to get their jab. Yay.

Over 91 million here in the U.S. have received at least one dose of the vaccine. Anyone got any actual stats on the number of deaths due to the vaccine?

Bad liars but powerful people. I’m so thankful for my coming $1400 bag of peanuts in my cage while the zoo burns.

Literally hundreds have died since receiving the vaccine.

But whether there is a causal relationship between their getting the vaccine and their dying?

I suggest that we apply the same standard that was applied when people were dying of / with Covid-19 long before there was any talk of "vaccines."

In other words: Even if you died after falling from a skyscraper, if you had Covid-19 in your body, your death was because of Covid-19.

Hence, everyone who has died after being vaccinated has died BECAUSE OF the vaccination.

Regards,
