Four people develop Bell's Palsy in Pfizer and BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine trial as allergic reaction; UK regulator reacts

A report revealed that four people involved in Pfizer and BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine trial in the US developed an allergic reaction and got Bell's palsy. The condition, which is usually temporary, causes muscles on one side of the face to droop because of nerves not working properly.
However, Britain`s drug regulator has dismissed safety fears over the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine after this happened. Earlier, the Daily Mail reported that four cases of Bell's Palsy were found in a group of 21,720 people who had the Pfizer vaccine in a trial in the US, compared to none among 21,728 people given a placebo vaccine.
But this rate of occurrence is no different to how often it would be expected to happen in a random population - in the UK there are around 20 to 30 cases per 100,000 people per year.
The Food and Drug Administration in the US said in its report: `The four cases in the vaccine group do not represent a frequency above that expected in the general population.`
The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, proven to be safe in clinical trials, is now being given to members of the public in Britain, which is the first country to give a jab to its citizens, the report said.
Daily Mail reported this means that it was almost certainly random that all the people who developed the condition happened to be in the vaccine group, and the same number of people would likely have got it in any group that size, regardless of a vaccine.
There is other good news regarding Covid-19 vaccine. Excitement is now building up on Molnupiravir, a new anti-viral drug. Significantly, according to latest research, Molnupiravir completely suppresses virus transmission and that to just within 24 hours.
However, this is according to ferret-based data and if it translate to humans, Covid-19 patients treated with the drug could become non-infectious within 24 hours after the beginning of treatment.
The drug is in advance phase II/III clinical trials against the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Molnupiravir is being developed by biotechnology firm Ridgeback Biotherapeutics in collaboration with Merck.
Researchers in the Institute for Biomedical Sciences at the Georgia State University in the US have discovered that treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection with a new antiviral drug, Molnupiravir, completely suppresses virus transmission within 24 hours.
The group led by Richard Plemper, professor at Georgia State University, originally discovered that the drug is potent against influenza viruses.
"This is the first demonstration of an orally available drug to rapidly block SARS-CoV-2 transmission. MK-4482/EIDD-2801 could be game-changing," said Plemper.

Damn! Hope its temporary as the article suggests.

Too late to know, isn't it? Many has been injected.
The CEO of Pfizer has sold his stock in early November.

I guess you were so fascinated by the images you missed the important bit in your OP.

But this rate of occurrence is no different to how often it would be expected to happen in a random population - in the UK there are around 20 to 30 cases per 100,000 people per year..

....and it’s a temporary condition ..so I guess no video conferencing for a week...

Temporary is better than being in a wheelchair in CONSTANT nerve pain from Sinopharm.

Peru suspends Chinese Covid-19 vaccine trial over serious side effects

The National Institute of Health said a volunteer presented neurological symptoms, which could correspond to a condition called Guillain-Barre syndrome.

Peru has temporarily suspended clinical trials of a Covid vaccine made by Chinese drug giant Sinopharm after detecting neurological problems in one of its test volunteers.

The National Institute of Health said on Friday that it had decided to interrupt the trial after a volunteer had difficulty moving their arms, according to local media.

"Several days ago we signalled, as we are required, to the regulatory authorities that one of our participants (in trials) presented neurological symptoms which could correspond to a condition called Guillain-Barre syndrome," said chief researcher German Malaga in comments to the press.

Guillain-Barre syndrome is a rare and non-contagious disorder which affects the movement of the arms and legs.

Peru declared a temporary health emergency in five regions in June last year following multiple cases.

Horrible...wheelchair bound in constant pain.

Your lack of math.
There are 4 cases among 10,000. If there are 5, this will significantly change the result by medical science.
We will observe result latter. I just knew the CEO dump his stock right after the vaccine test result comes out.

There are many articles regarding the Bell's Palsy in Pfizer. Much more professional than this one, but more boring, I highly doubt you can read through.

Yikes! Hope it’s temporary

allergic reactions to vaccines is a normal thing in some people ..happens with all the vaccines

You are wasting your time with these Chinese bots, they are no different to the Indian selection we have who cherry pick lines from an article that suite their narrative.

I got Bell's Palsy some years ago. I suppose I contracted it in a tea place whose AC filters had not been cleaned and had acquired bacteria. I went to a neurologist who prescribed me a set of medicines including steroids. I also went to a physiotherapist who prescribed me some facial exercises.

I don't remember how long I undertook this treatment but the condition was cured satisfactorily. It is temporary as far as I know.

Why 10,000 ...why not 4, if you are making $hit up then might as well go all the way...

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is due to decide this week whether to give the green light for use of the Pfizer vaccine in the US. In the trials leading to the Pfizer vaccine’s rollout across the world this week, four out of 21,270 participants suffered from Bell’s Palsy. The US and UK regulators have dismissed fears over the incidence rate as nothing out of the ordinary given the expected occurrence in a normal population.

Four people fell ill during a clinical trial for Pfizer but we also know that the frequency is in line with the trend in a normal population.

its unlikely to be related to vaccine

bells palsy is not related to bacterial but viral infection so
you got it because you had a flu ..and THEN an immune reaction following the flu
