Man this post has me in a flashback to the Anthrax shot of the late ‘90s. The government forcing a shot of dubious efficacy onto military members. It was a shiite show from beginning to end and ruined a lot of careers (both professionally and medically). Hopefully this round goes smoother....

If you take a vaccine for a disease this mild that was developed this quickly and you don't have serious risk factors you either can't do risk assessment or have a sub room temp IQ

Excerpts from the article you linked:

"Bell's palsy is time-limited and patients generally recover quickly—in a matter of weeks," Dr. Hinman says. "On the spectrum of neurologic disease, it is generally not serious, although severe cases can cause permanent facial paralysis."

"I cannot make a direct connection with the vaccine and suspect this is a coincidence," Dr. Hinman says. "The normal incidence of Bell's palsy is roughly 20 people out of 100,000."

Also, imo, it's not that important for Australia to have a vaccine. Their government, unlike ours, very effectively contained covid. At this point, the only hope for our country is the vaccine.

Imagine not reading your own link:

None has been established. "I cannot make a direct connection with the vaccine and suspect this is a coincidence," Dr. Hinman says. "The normal incidence of Bell's palsy is roughly 20 people out of 100,000. The Pfizer study examined 38,000 patients, so four cases would be within the normal observed incidence of Bell's palsy."

20 people out of 100,000 in what, a lifetime? How about the rate of 100,000 in the time the study took? I bet it's more like 0. Use your critical thinking instead of listening to some doctor who has vested interest in the success of a study.

I don't know about you, but every time I get a shot I have an undeniable urge to register Windows for about a week.

You referenced the article...lol. The Dr. is saying 20 out of 100,000 regardless of the vaccine would get Bells...so he's saying 4 out of 38K in the study is about what would be expected. It also mentions most recover quickly. The title of the article is clickbait (and irresponsible if us ask me).

Something of concern with the vaccine could show up as time goes on....this isn't it.

No, it's not what would be expected. That article is trying to debunk it. You can find different takes on it. I'm not endorsing the article I'm just pointing out what happened.

So you explain to me the math: 20 of 100,000 is expected to get bells palsy in their LIFETIME. 4 out of 38,000 got it in the course of a study. You don't have to be a doctor to realize that is statistically significant. Sorry if you can't grasp that.

Listen, I'm not convincing you of anything and that's ok. You don't have to take the vaccine anytime soon and honestly I don't have any problem with that right now. But you do acknowledge - if no one takes it, the country is screwed for a long time?

If you use your critical thinking to actually look up any numbers, it’s 1-4/10,000 per year.

as you say, “sorry if you can’t grasp that.”
