Coronavirus vaccine made by the pharma company Pfizer is out, and the vaccinations have already begun. Although this is the vaccine that is going to be available all over the world soon, there is a sign of big worry for all the people who want to take it.
It’s been reported by the FDA that the vaccine is causing facial paralysis in people after the first dose.
This facial paralysis is called Bell’s palsy
Four people in the United Kingdom who volunteered to take the vaccine, have developed a form of facial paralysis called Bell’s palsy.
Bell’s palsy is a form of temporary facial paralysis that can cause weakness and numbness in the facial muscles. It happens when the nerves controlling facial muscles get inflamed, swollen, or compressed.
Investigations have been started to look into this matter but it’s not yet detected that how exactly the vaccine is triggering the paralysis. American regulators collected reports and warned the doctors that the vaccine made by Pfizer-BioNTech is causing severe issues with the health of people.
The company is not stopping the vaccine, but they will “count the side effects”
Doctors have been warned to look out for this dangerous side effect, and Pfizer said they will continue to count how many people get facial paralysis from their vaccine. Although what’s dangerous is that Pfizer has not rolled back the vaccine, but will still continue to vaccinate people despite the obvious damage that it is causing. It’s all a matter of monetary profit over public safety.
Pfizer’s CEO has denied any culpability on the company’s part, and said that rushing the vaccine through trials “did not have any effect on the standards of the vaccine.”
Should we doubt the vaccine or not?
He even went a step forward and blamed the people for being skeptical about a badly made and rushed vaccine: “Always there are people who are skeptical about vaccines, but I have to say they are wrong.”
Consider that the most COVID vaccines available in the market are causing serious side effects because they were made in a rush, and while the companies deny any problems on their part, the governments are pushing the vaccines solely for the sake of business profit for the pharma companies. People are right to skeptical until a safe and reliable vaccine comes out.
