13 Israelis suffer FACIAL PARALYSIS after taking Pfizer Covid jab
Pfizer & BionTech & Moderna are all using new mRNA Technology in the vaccine, major change from the traditional vaccines. Technology may be interfering with the genetic make up/DNA
"For at least 28 hours, I suffered from facial paralysis"
Approximately 13 people experienced mild facial paralysis after administering Pfizer vaccine in Israel, the Ministry of Health reported, which estimates that this type of side effect could still be reported as vaccinations were taken.
Health officials raised the question of whether or not to give the second dose to these people. The Ministry of Health still recommends the injection of the second dose, which provides 95% protection.
"For at least 28 hours, I suffered facial paralysis," a citizen told Ynet. "I can't say that it completely disappeared afterwards, but other than that, I had no other symptoms, except a slight gene at the injection site."
"It should be noted that this is something rare, and I do not want people to avoid getting vaccinated. It's important," he added.
"I recently met a vaccinated person who suffered from this paralysis, and I decided not to inject him with the second dose," said Professor Galia Rahav, director of the Infectious Diseases Unit at Sheba Medical Center.
"No one knows if this is related to the vaccine or not. That is why I will refrain from giving a second dose to someone who suffered facial paralysis after the first dose, "she added.
Last month the FDA disclosed that Bell’s palsy, a form of temporary facial paralysis, was reported by four participants during phase three trials of the Pfizer vaccine. All four cases involved individuals who had been given the actual jab. There were no reports of paralysis among the control group that received a placebo.
In its report, the FDA noted the “numerical imbalance” of Bell’s palsy cases among the vaccine and placebo groups, but it said there were no other “non-serious adverse events” that showed a similar pattern.
Ultimately, the US drug regulator concluded that the issue was “consistent with the expected background rate in the general population,” and added that there was no clear evidence linking the coronavirus vaccine to the unpleasant medical condition. Still, the agency recommended“surveillance for cases of Bell’s palsy with deployment of the vaccine into larger populations.”
Over the past several weeks, the Pfizer drug has received emergency approval from governments scrambling to vaccinate their citizens. In December, the UK became the first country in the world to begin administering the jab to the general population. Although health officials have described the vaccine as safe and effective at reducing Covid-19 symptoms, worrying reports continue to surface about serious adverse effects. Mexico launched a probe in early January after a young doctor was left paralyzed minutes after being administered the drug. There have also been numerous cases in which people who suffer from allergies have experienced severe reactions to the shot.
Several reports have also linked the jab to unexplained deaths, but authorities have insisted that there is no evidence to suggest the vaccine is to blame in such cases. For example, a Portugese doctor who was reportedly in “perfect health”died shortly after being given the jab, but officials later concluded that there was no relationship between the death and the vaccine, adding that they could not disclose the exact cause of her death for legal reasons.
