After a review surfaced Tuesday on data behind Moderna’s COVID-19 jab, many have since caught onto several reported incidents of Bell’s palsy, or facial paralysis, among the trial's vaccine recipients. Documents posted from a U.S. Food and Drug Administration committee review cited three incidents of facial paralysis among Moderna's vaccine recipients and one in the placebo group. A top expert on Bell's palsy at Johns Hopkins Medicine recently told Fox News that the incidence of facial paralysis among trial participants is actually lower than what naturally occurs, and said the Bell's palsy can't be directly attributed to the COVID-19 vaccines. He said the facial paralysis among trial participants can't be directly tied to the vaccine. About a month after she was vaccinated, she experienced "new facial paralysis," though it was reported as "resolving."
