FDA staff recommends watching for Bell’s palsy in Moderna and Pfizer vaccine recipients

U.S. Food and Drug Administration staff recommends monitoring people who get Pfizer or Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine shots for possible cases of Bell’s palsy, saying it’s not necessarily a side effect but worth watching out for after a handful of trial participants got the condition, which causes half of your face to droop.

A 54-page staff report released Tuesday said there were four reported cases of Bell’s palsy among Moderna’s more than 30,000 clinical trial participants. Three of the participants who got Bell’s palsy also received the vaccine instead of a placebo shot. Pfizer’s trial similarly had four reported cases of Bell’s palsy out of some 43,000 participants. All four Bell’s palsy cases in Pfizer’s trial got the vaccine and not the placebo.

The staff, which endorsed the emergency use of Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine, said there wasn’t enough data to tie the cases directly to the shots, but it warranted close scrutiny.

Two of the cases of Bell’s palsy among Moderna’s vaccine group have since “resolved” while one was still ongoing at the time of the report, the FDA staff said. The vaccinated participants experienced the paralysis between 22 days and 32 days following inoculation, they said.

Bell’s palsy causes a sudden freezing or weakness in a person’s facial muscles that’s temporary for most people, according to the Mayo Clinic. The exact cause isn’t known, but it’s believed to come from either a viral infection or swelling and inflammation of the nerve that controls the muscles on one side of your face, the Mayo Clinic said.

“Currently available information is insufficient to determine a causal relationship with the vaccine,” the FDA staff wrote.

The FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee meets Thursday to review Moderna’s vaccine. It endorsed Pfizer’s vaccine a week ago, before the FDA granted formal authorization

Isn’t Pfizer vaccine created or somehow tested from and aborted fetus line as well?

That has supposedly been refuted, but I can’t say for sure.

Why can’t one of the side effects of a drug ever be weight loss? I’m still looking for that one.

Sucks to be the guy who got the placebo and still got Bell's Palsy.

Remind me to stop eating sugar pills, e.g. most forms of candy.

From what I’ve read, there is a good chance.

Is the treatment/”cure” worse than the illness? Who knows?

Also unknown is how long the protection lasts or how universal it is (i.e. flu vaccine does not protect against all flu that season).

You are correct but here is a good article going over all of the proposed vaccines and companies and with a better explanation regarding the abortion link.

“This vaccine will make people sick”
********************************
Some... very mildly. Of the people who opt not to have the vaccine, more will be far, far sicker. Different strokes....

I got COVID in October. That was a tough 45 minutes of struggle.

Not until it has been administered by the millions and claims to have saved lives. Then it will be announced it was.

I had it and tested positive - had a mild headache for 4-5 days, no fever no chills. Had a funny feeling in my nasal cavity like I got chlorine up it and I was going to lose my sense of smell. Was outside doing yard work. I have had allergies much worse than this.

Dont forget cnn ran a story last week with a headline stating “don’t panic if people start dying a day or two after getting the vaccine”

Totally coincidental, its just the end of their natural life - not sh1tting you, they actually wrote this tripe

NO! It's an mRNA vaccine synthesized based on the RNA genome of the virus that causes COVID-19 published by the Chinese.

Heres the article referenced

https://summit.news/2020/12/08/cnn-dont-be-alarmed-if-people-start-dying-after-taking-the-vaccine/

Now.....

We have had inflation of deaths as covid deaths all along here

We have had people die of other things but be lumped in as a covid related death,,or died with covid

Anyone who dies after getting the vaccine should be counted the same zealous way

Dead by covid vaccine

Dead with covid vaccine

Covid-vaccine related death

Lets be consistent with the precedent set by the covid coverage and designations

That’s a nice theory. Let’s see how it works in practice.

I am NOT getting this mRNA hack injected into me.

Want to hear something interesting? I'm an RN, and today our manager asked my department if we would accept the vaccine when it becomes available.

2 yes, 10 no. 84% refusal from nurses

You are free to draw your own conclusion.
