Bell's Palsy: 7 cases in subjects who received a COVID mRNA vaccine--Yes it is a Vaccine Reaction
Four cases of Bell's (facial) palsy occurred in subjects in the Pfizer vaccine clinical trial of its mRNA vaccine, none in placebo recipients. FDA's briefing document mentioned 3 cases, but 4 were discussed at the VRBPAC advisory meeting on December 10. The briefing document claimed, "This observed frequency of reported Bell’s palsy is consistent with the expected background rate in the general population." (page 43)
Three cases of Bell's palsy occurred in subjects who received Moderna's mRNA vaccine, and one in a plecebo recipient.
One case of Transverse Myelitis occurred in a subject in the Astra-Zeneca Covid vaccine trial. This is a rare and usually devastating complication. According to the Mayo Clinic, Transverse myelitis "can cause pain, muscle weakness, paralysis, sensory problems, or bladder and bowel dysfunction... Other conditions, such as a stroke of the spinal cord, are often confused with transverse myelitis."
FDA has failed to warn Americans now being vaccinated about the possibility of Bell's Palsy in its "fact sheet" for the Pfizer vaccine, which is the only printed information patients receive when they are vaccinated. However, Bell's Palsy is known to be a serious neuro-immune reaction to vaccination.
How do I know? Because both Bell's Palsy and Transverse Myelitis were listed on the package insert (the label) for anthrax vaccine, which you can read right here. Luckily, the label was reproduced in the National Academy of Sciences' report on anthrax vaccine, because it is hard to find online... since FDA removed the warnings from a later version of the label.
So far, there is no label for any Covid vaccine, since none have been given a license. There is only a fact sheet for the Pfizer vaccine. Once the Moderna vaccine gets an Emergency Use Authorization, FDA, along with the manufacturer, will craft a fact sheet for it. How much will they tell the public?

December 18, 2020Uncategorized
Ickes the Progressive Republican was always backing a candidate who he hoped would not be in the pockets of big business doing its bidding rather than the peoples and the candidates he backed always seemed to lose, although he seemed to believe that they would have done much worse had he not helped organize their campaigns. He cared about winning but thoroughly enjoyed the battle even when losing.
Over time he came to recognize a few truths about the people. He found: “once again that the public was less responsible to demands for political purity than to the need for party regularity. What seemed to surprise Ickes was not that [his candidate] lost. But that his vote was so small, that such blatant corruption failed to shake party loyalty.”
After seeing municipal reforms he and his friends sought to bring about were mostly rejected he cynically noted: the people, “did not resent a suppression of their civil liberties; they do not object to misgovernment; they can condone even vice and crime. Give them their movies and jazz, radio, baseball and golf links and what the Hell!”
