Dude, do you even know what you post about? You were replying about the nurse vid. If she isnt a nurse,its fake news to get youtube clicks. Tennessee registry shows no one with a similar name in Tn. Find it for us-I am sure Infowars spelled her name correctly.
No one has said that no one EVER has gotten Bells Palsy nor that anyone that got either of the vaccines got Bells Pasly-some did. But if NO ONE got it during the trial, that wouldnt be supportive of facts either. Look at how many participated in the two trials and how many got Bells Palsy compared to how many actually get Bells Palsy everyday. Its not out of whack and further more not known that either vaccine "caused" Bells Palsy.
The majority of the "facts" you post are simply beliefs,not facts.
Dense is on your side, GP.
I don't care if some people are claiming that they cannot locate her in the TN registery. Whether that is the case or not, that is not "proof" that she is a liar. She could still be a nurse and her name does not show up for whatever reason, or they are not searching using the correct name. I tend to believe her story, just based on the video itself. The woman appeared to be genuinely distraught and actually suffering from a real case of facial paralysis.
And then, when you find out that the covid vaccine is causing cases of Bell's Palsy (per the article I linked), that lends credibility to the woman's story.
And I don't buy that part of the article where they claim that the rate of Bell's Palsy among people in the vaccine trials is "no higher than regular rates of Bell's Palsy in the population". That's just an attempt to spin and do damage control by the author of the article. The whole reason the article was written is because the vaccines CAUSED these people to get Bell's Palsy. They wrote that article because people were becoming alarmed, and they are doing damage control and trying to calm people's fears -- by putting in misinformation to say it's "rare", etc. But even if, hypothetically, you believe the rate at which people get Bell's Palsy in the general population is somewhat close to the rate at which the vaccine participants get it, that does not exclude vaccines as being a cause of Bell's Palsy. Because the general population are also getting Bell's Palsy as a result of taking all sorts of other vaccines. The most important point to realize is that vaccines are the CAUSE of people getting Bell's Palsy.
Some folks get alarmed about nothing, too; they just crave attention so it fits their narrative.
NASA, flat earth, JFK etc.

Miriam FauziaUSA TODAY
"Four Pfizer vaccine volunteers (for COVID-19) develop Bell's palsy," claims a
Dec. 12 Facebook postSimilar posts elsewhere on Facebook echo the findings but instead share a screenshot of a Daily Mail headline juxtaposed with an image of three different individuals also afflicted with some sort of facial palsy.
A 53-page briefing noted that there had been four cases of Bell's palsy among the vaccinated group and none among the placebo group. Symptoms occurred at different time points: For one participant, the condition occurred three days post-vaccination but resolved within three days; for the other three, symptoms appeared at nine, 37 and 48 days following vaccination and lasted for about 10, 15 and 21 days, respectively.
While developing a temporary neuromuscular condition during a vaccine trial may sound concerning, it is best to put this finding into perspective. The annual incidence rate for Bell's palsy within the general population is around 23 cases per 100,000 people or 15-20 per 100,000 people,
according to some population studies. Translating that to the trial's four cases out of 38,000 trial participants, it computes to 11 cases per 100,000 people.
Thus, because the finding was "consistent with the expected background rate in the general population," the trial ruled there was "no clear basis upon which to conclude a causal relationship" between the vaccine and the occurrence of Bell's palsy.
Images not associated with COVID-19 vaccine trial
The first image of three individuals against a bright blue background is not from the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine trial, but from a
2019 study associated with Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in Boston.
The images being shared of the people who developed Bell's Palsy from the vaccine are taken from a facial paralysis paper written by our doctors and are NOT the patients related to the Pfizer vaccine trials,"
stated MEEI's Facial Nerve Center on Twitter. One individual from the second image alongside the Daily Mail headline can be found in an
article on tetanus; another can be found in an American Academy of Ophthalmology
article from May 2008 and is clearly characterized as having a "left facial palsy."
Our rating: Missing context
We rate this claim MISSING CONTEXT, because without additional context it might be misleading. According to a Dec. 10 briefing document from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, four volunteers from Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine trial did develop a type of facial paralysis/weakness called Bell's palsy. However, this was not considered significant, given it was comparable to incidence of Bell's palsy in the general population. It is also important to note a correlation between two events, phenomena or variables does not imply causation.
The image from the first Facebook post was taken from a 2019 study out of Boston's Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary examining facial palsy. Individuals from the second photo do not appear to be the actual trial participants or have facial palsy with exception of one.
Sources for fact check in article at bottom but we know it wont matter to you.
