The case of a patient who experienced two facial palsies – one after the first and another after the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine – strongly suggests that Bell's palsy (facial nerve palsy of unknown cause) is linked to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, doctors write in the journal BMJ Case Reports.

Epidemiology
The annual incidence is 15 to 20 per 100,000 with 40,000 new cases each year and the lifetime risk is 1 in 60. There is an 8% to 12% recurrence rate. Even without treatment, 70% of patients will have complete resolution. There is no gender or racial preference, and palsy can occur at any age, but more cases are seen in mid and late-life with the median age of onset at 40 years. Risk factors include diabetes, pregnancy, preeclampsia, obesity, and hypertension.[5]

Who is at risk?
Bell’s palsy affects about 40,000 people in the United States every year. It can affect anyone of any gender and age, but its incidence seems to be highest in those in the 15- to 45-year-old age group. Risk factors for Bell’s palsy include pregnancy, preeclampsia, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and upper respiratory ailments.
Bell’s Palsy happens.
The rain falls on the vaccinated and unvaccinated……FYI
Let us know when the Bell’s Palsy cases surpass 40,000, O.K.?
Thank you very much for that comment.
I am the guy who posted this article, I have had shingles, and I had no idea that it is a risk factor for Bell's Palsy.
I have had the original shingles vaccine - no shingles since then.
The newest shingles vaccine (Shingrix?) is much more potent than the original shingles vaccine, so I may do a double dip on shingles vax.
I had the Shingrix several years ago. For me the side effects were strong, I spent a week afterwards in bed, like a really bad hangover.
However my MIL had shingles so I think it was a good tradeoff.
I got minor rash outbreaks all over my body and felt slightly ill and feverish.
I was completely back to normal after 48 hours.
Before the vax, I had two serious outbreaks of sun-related shingles, so I was glad to take the vax risk.

Why would I? You don’t care about people. You just want to push the fake vaccines on everyone. Human health doesn’t matter you. You’ve sold out your principles and spend your time denouncing the truth. Who would care to tell you anything?
He needs to fire his doctor. I dislike the vaccines BTW.
You’re welcome.
1 in 60 people will get Bell’s Palsy at some point in their life time.
Funny on the first day when I started to notice it’s effects was when I was using mouthwash and for some reason it kept squirting out of the corner of one side of my mouth.
So I blew it off as nothing.
The next morning……..I thought I was having a TIA (very localized stroke sort of) because my entire left side of my face was paralyzed.
Have a great night.
Apparently they don’t do the one-shot Shingles vaccine any longer. My wife has had Shingles twice. I know a guy who had it on his face and it did get perilously close to his eyes. I have had Thyroid Eye Disease (and seven surgeries to try to correct it), and I have glaucoma in one eye. The last thing I needed was Shingles ruining what was left of my eyesight. That was the factor that pushed me into getting the vaccine.
