FDA_ Monitor COVID Vaccine Recipients for Facial Paralysis

Discern Report is the fastest growing America First news aggregator in the nation.

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • During Phase 3 clinical trials of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, more cases of facial paralysis occurred in the vaccine groups compared to the placebo group (one out of 35,611), leading the FDA to recommended monitoring vaccine recipients for facial paralysis
  • The Phase 3 clinical trials of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines had enough Bell’s palsy cases to suggest a potential safety signal, which is information on an adverse event that may be caused by a medicine or vaccine that warrants further investigation
  • A case report described a 57-year-old woman with a history of Bell’s palsy, who developed the condition less than 36 hours after receiving her second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine
  • Bell’s palsy has previously been noted as a complication of meningococcal, hepatitis B, smallpox and influenza vaccination (seasonal and H1N1)

Media is featuring a near-24/7 stream of propaganda encouraging the public to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Most of the advertisements make no mention of the potential adverse effects associated with it, which is a key factor necessary for informed consent. Facial paralysis, sometimes referred to as Bell’s palsy when it has no known cause, is one such adverse effect.

During Phase 3 clinical trials of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, more cases of facial paralysis occurred in the vaccine groups (seven out of 35,654) compared to the placebo group (one out of 35,611), leading the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to recommended monitoring vaccine recipients for facial paralysis.1

Facial Paralysis’ Ties to COVID Vaccine

In response to the FDA recommendation to monitor for facial paralysis following COVID-19 vaccination, and noting that the clinical trials did not establish a causal relationship, a team of French researchers explored the connection further using the World Health Organization pharmacovigilance database, VigiBase.2

They concluded that the COVID-19 vaccines did not appear to have an association with facial paralysis, stating “if an association between facial paralysis and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines exists, the risk is likely very low, as with other viral vaccines.”3 However, it should be noted that the control groups used for comparison were not inert placebos, but one group using “other viral vaccines” and one group that received influenza vaccines.

It’s well-known that Bell’s palsy is an adverse effect following vaccination, so all the study found is that COVID-19 vaccines do not increase the risk above and beyond that of other viral vaccines.

For instance, an association between administration of the inactivated influenza vaccine and onset of Bell’s palsy symptoms has been previously documented,4,5 so comparing COVID-19 vaccines to flu vaccines isn’t giving a true picture of risk, as would emerge if compared to an inert placebo. As the researchers noted:6

“Isolated facial paralysis after vaccination has been reported as case reports for decades with almost all viral vaccines, and it is thought to be immune mediated or induced by viral reactivations (eg, reactivation of a herpes virus infection) …

When compared with other viral vaccines, mRNA COVID-19 vaccines did not display a signal of facial paralysis … the reporting rate of facial paralysis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination found in the present study is not higher than that observed with other viral vaccines.”

This isn’t to say that cases weren’t reported, however. Out of 133,883 adverse drug reactions reported following mRNA COVID-19 vaccines reported to VigiBase on March 9, 2021, the researchers identified 844 facial paralysis-related events, including (some of the cases reported multiple adverse events):

  • 683 cases of facial paralysis
  • 168 cases of facial paresis
  • 25 cases of facial spasms
  • 13 cases of facial nerve disorders

Cases ‘Almost Always Dramatically Underreported’

WHO’s VigiBase pharmacovigilance database uses data from different systems, including the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which makes up about one-third of the reports used in the French study.7 Adverse events are notoriously underreported to VAERS and other pharmacovigilance databases, which rely on mostly voluntary reports, making it difficult to draw population-wide estimates from their data.

As noted by Al Ozonoff, Ph.D., of Harvard Medical School in MedPage Today, adverse event cases are “almost always dramatically underreported in terms of the incidence of events. I think we simply don’t have enough data right now to come to a firm conclusion.”8

Study co-author Charles Khouri, PharmD, of University Grenoble Alpes in France, also told MedPage Today, “While spontaneously reversible in the vast majority of cases, facial paralyses are serious and debilitating adverse drug reactions. Should a link be established, this adverse reaction has the potential to hamper the vaccination campaign.”9

Palsy Case After Second Dose Warrants Further Investigation

The Phase 3 clinical trials of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines had enough Bell’s palsy cases to suggest a potential safety signal,10 which is information on an adverse event that may be caused by a medicine or vaccine that warrants further investigation. The French study suggested no higher safety signal for COVID-19 vaccines and Bell’s palsy compared to other vaccines, but limitations to the data were present.

Other studies, however, have called for more investigation. A case report published in Brain, Behavior & Immunity Health described a 57-year-old woman with a history of Bell’s palsy, who developed the condition less than 36 hours after receiving her second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.11

Her symptoms, including facial droop, got worse over the next 72 hours, and the case was significant enough that the researchers, with Adventist Health White Memorial in Los Angeles, suggested further investigation may be warranted:12

“Given the expedited production of the vaccine and the novelty associated with its production, there may be information pertaining to side effects and individual response that remain to be discovered. Since both the Moderna and Pfizer Vaccine trials reported Bell’s Palsy as medically attended adverse events, the association between vaccine administration and onset of symptomatic Bell’s Palsy may warrant further investigation.

… With previous association found between the administration of the inactivated Influenza Vaccine and onset of Bell’s Palsy symptoms, there remains the possibility of a causal association between these symptoms and the COVID-19 vaccine.”

In their official guidance, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that people who have a history of Bell’s palsy may receive a COVID-19 vaccine, even though cases were reported during COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials.13 During the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine trials, three cases of Bell’s palsy occurred in the vaccine group compared to none in the placebo group.

In the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine trials, three cases were reported among vaccine recipients compared to one case in the placebo group. According to the Adventist Health researchers, “Considering the temporal association and biological plausibility, FDA recommends surveillance for cases of Bell’s Palsy with deployment of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine into larger populations.”14

The CDC, in their guidelines for contraindications, also reported “post-authorization safety surveillance will be important to monitor Bell’s Palsy symptoms, in patients with prior episodes, following vaccine administration to further assess any potential causal association.”15

Meningitis, Hepatitis B Vaccines Linked to Bell’s Palsy

As mentioned, vaccinations have previously been linked to Bell’s palsy, which causes paralysis or weakness of facial muscles. In a study16 using data from nearly 49,000 people between the ages of 11 and 21 years, Hung-Fu Tseng, Ph. D., from the Southern California Permanente Medical Group in Pasadena, California, and colleagues evaluated the safety of quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine.

A significantly increased risk of Bell’s palsy was found when the vaccine (Menveo) was given along with another vaccination. The condition typically occurred five to 10 weeks after vaccination. Overall, the risk of Bell’s palsy increased 2.9-fold in the 12 weeks after vaccination among those administered concomitant vaccines.

NOW is the time to learn more about moving portions of your retirement or wealth to a self-directed gold and silver IRA through an America-First, Christian precious metals company.” – JD Rucker (not a financial advisor, just a guy who’s paying attention)

Bell’s palsy has previously been noted as a complication of hepatitis B,17 smallpox and influenza vaccination (seasonal and H1N1) as well.18 Research published in Human Vaccines & Imunotherapeutics also revealed an increased risk of cranial nerve palsies following vaccination, especially combinations of vaccines.19

In 59% of the cases, the palsies were identified as serious, which suggests, the authors noted, “that a cranial nerve palsy may sometimes be the harbinger of a broader and more ominous clinical entity, such as a stroke or encephalomyelitis [inflammation of the brain and spinal cord].” They continued:20

“Cranial nerve palsies have been reported to VAERS following a wide variety of inactivated and live attenuated vaccines. Reports for trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine were the most frequent among single-vaccine reports, but they constituted only a weak plurality and not an overwhelming majority.

The reports listing multiple vaccines largely reflected the most common combinations of routine immunizations administered to infants and young children: Diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis vaccine, Hemophilus influenzae type b vaccine, Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine 7-valent, and Poliovirus vaccine inactivated given together, as well as measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine live co-administered with varicella vaccine live.”

Blood Clots Also Being Investigated

Another “safety signal” being investigated in relation to COVID-19 vaccines are blood clots — specifically cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) following vaccination with the Ad26.COV2.S vaccine manufactured by Johnson & Johnson.

Using data from VAERS, which again typically only includes a fraction of the actual number of adverse events, 12 women between the ages of 18 and 59 developed symptoms within six to 15 days after vaccination.21 Of the 12 patients, 10 required intensive care, seven had intracerebral hemorrhage as well and three died. In a JAMA editorial, it’s noted:22

“[T]he case for a causal relationship with vaccine administration includes a much higher reported rate of CVST with thrombocytopenia (approximately 5 per million women aged 18-50 years shortly after vaccination) than the background rate (approximately 0.05-0.13 per million per month, based on estimated annual US incidence of 0.7-1.6 per million per year).”

Similarities were also noted between these cases and thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), which has been associated with the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccine manufactured by Oxford/AstraZeneca. Both AstraZeneca’s and Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccines use similar technology involving modified adenovirus vectors.23

According to German investigators, the blood clots linked to AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine may be “due to a particular immune response that activates platelets and thus triggers thrombosis.”24 There is, quite simply, much that is unknown about these experimental vaccines, and only time will tell what the true adverse event rates are. According to the JAMA editorial:25

“Faced with similar safety signals, nations have taken different policy approaches. As of this writing, Norway and Denmark have suspended using the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccine. Iceland and Germany have limited the use of the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccine to people older than 60 years.”

It’s also been suggested, according to researchers at King’s College, that people who have already had COVID are three times more likely to experience vaccine side effects than those who have not been exposed to the virus, and this appears true for both mRNA and DNA versions of the vaccine.26

Dr. Hooman Noorchashm, a cardiac surgeon and patient advocate, even suggested to the FDA that prescreening for SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins may reduce the risk of injuries and deaths following vaccination, as the vaccine may trigger an adverse immune response in those who have already been infected with the virus.27 Perhaps such caution is also warranted among people with a history of adverse events, such as Bell’s palsy.

The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) recently posted more than 50 video presentations from the pay-for-view Fifth International Public Conference on Vaccination held online October 16 to 18, 2020, and made them available to everyone for free.

The conference’s theme was “Protecting Health and Autonomy in the 21st Century” and it featured physicians, scientists and other health professionals, human rights activists, faith community leaders, constitutional and civil rights attorneys, authors and parents of vaccine injured children talking about vaccine science, policy, law and ethics and infectious diseases, including coronavirus and COVID-19 vaccines.

In December 2020, a U.K. company published false and misleading information about NVIC and its conference, which prompted NVIC to open up the whole conference for free viewing. The conference has everything you need to educate yourself and protect your personal freedoms and liberties with respect to your health.

Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity. I was a speaker at this empowering conference and urge you to watch these video presentations before they’re censored and taken away by the technocratic elite.



‘The Purge’ by Big Tech targets conservatives, including us

Just when we thought the Covid-19 lockdowns were ending and our ability to stay afloat was improving, censorship reared its ugly head.

For the last few months, NOQ Report, Conservative Playbook, and the American Conservative Movement have appealed to our readers for assistance in staying afloat through Covid-19 lockdowns. The downturn in the economy has limited our ability to generate proper ad revenue just as our traffic was skyrocketing. We had our first sustained stretch of three months with over a million visitors in November, December, and January, but February saw a dip.

It wasn’t just the shortened month. We expected that. We also expected the continuation of dropping traffic from “woke” Big Tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter, but it has actually been much worse than anticipated. Our Twitter account was banned. Both of our YouTube accounts were banned. Facebook “fact-checks” everything we post. Spotify canceled us. Medium canceled us. Apple canceled us. Why? Because we believe in the truth prevailing, and that means we will continue to discuss “taboo” topics.

The 2020 presidential election was stolen. You can’t say that on Big Tech platforms without risking cancellation, but we’d rather get cancelled for telling the truth rather than staying around to repeat mainstream media’s lies. They have been covering it up since before the election and they’ve convinced the vast majority of conservative news outlets that they will be harmed if they continue to discuss voter fraud. We refuse to back down. The truth is the truth.

The lies associated with Covid-19 are only slightly more prevalent than the suppression of valid scientific information that runs counter to the prescribed narrative. We should be allowed to ask questions about the vaccines, for example, as there is ample evidence for concern. One does not have to be an “anti-vaxxer” in order to want answers about vaccines that are still considered experimental and that have a track record in a short period of time of having side-effects, including death. One of our stories about the Johnson & Johnson “vaccine” causing blood clots was “fact-checked” and removed one day before the government hit the brakes on it. These questions and news items are not allowed on Big Tech which is just another reason we are getting canceled.


Dr. Joseph Mercola said, “Synthetic meat is the epitome of ultraprocessed food, and it seems naïve to think it won’t have health effects similar to other ultraprocessed junk foods.” For All-American REAL beef raised in pastures, sous vide, then freeze-dried for long-term storage, visit Whole Cows and use promo code “no junk” at checkout.


There are more topics that they refuse to allow. In turn, we refuse to stop discussing them. This is why we desperately need your help. The best way NOQ, CP, and ACM readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We are on track to be short by about $4100 per month in order to maintain operations.

The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. We had 5,657,724 sessions on our website from November, 2020, through February, 2021. Our intention is to elevate that to higher levels this year by focusing on a strategy that relies on free speech rather than being beholden to progressive Big Tech companies.

During that four-month stretch, Twitter and Facebook accounted for about 20% of our traffic. We are actively working on operating as if that traffic is zero, replacing it with platforms that operate more freely such as Gab, Parler, and others. While we were never as dependent on Big Tech as most conservative sites, we’d like to be completely free from them. That doesn’t mean we will block them, but we refuse to be beholden to companies that absolutely despise us simply because of our political ideology.

We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.

As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.
