FDA panel votes for Pfizer Covid vaccine to receive emergency authorisation
The majority of the panel voted in favour of the FDA issuing emergency use authorisation to Pfizer for its vaccine, with 17 experts voting “yes”, four voting “no”, and one expert abstaining from the vote.
This decision does not mean the FDA will automatically grant emergency use authorisation to the company, but it did indicate that Pfizer could likely receive the approval as early as Friday given the panel vote.
Four trial volunteers who got Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine developed Bell's palsy
As the United Kingdom began administering people with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, four people who got Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine in the firm's trial developed Bell's palsy, a form of temporary facial paralysis, according to US regulators' report on the shot.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulators said there wasn't any clear way that the vaccine caused Bell's palsy, but warned that doctors should watch for the alarming side effect and Pfizer should continue to keep tab on how many people it strikes.
Bell’s palsy is a condition that causes temporary weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles. It can usually occur when a nerve that controls the muscles becomes inflamed, swollen or compressed.
Meanwhile, Pfizer chief executive Albert Bourla said the company did not "cut any corners" while rolling out the vaccines.
The vaccine has "been tested in the exact same way as we are testing any vaccine that is circulating out there," Bourla asserted, adding, "this vaccine actually was tested, because of the scrutiny, with even higher standards in terms of how we do things."
Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine comes even as the coronavirus related deaths continue to climb across the world with over 1.5 million casualties and more than 69 million cases.
"Always there are people who are sceptical about vaccines, but I have to say they are wrong," the Pfizer CEO said.
However, Documents released by U.S. regulators on Tuesday confirmed that Pfizer’s vaccine was strongly protective against COVID-19 and appeared safe — offering the world’s first detailed look at the evidence behind the shots.
The positive review from the Food and Drug Administration sets the stage for a decision allowing the vaccine’s initial use within days. FDA regulators posted their analysis online even as across the Atlantic, Britain began vaccinating its oldest citizens with the shots, which were co-developed with BioNTech.
It didn't mention how long Bell's Palsy symptoms persisted (even if you assume it's a side effect of the vaccine), but I did note that it said "temporary."
Last I heard, the dying "side effect" of the plague is permanent.
Oh so its only temporary paralysis. Good to know
Roll your sleeve up and take the shot

Duke basketball protecting their players and staff by playing only conference games and not non-conference. Because you know, non-conference games are inherently more dangerous
I think that Biker's point is that your posts are people "saying" it. Biker's statistics are data proving it otherwise.

Yet the data states otherwise and still, our numbers are out of control. How do you square the two?

i have seen the scientific data and studies on masks and how they "should" work in a lab environment that re-creates what they think is a virus transmision scenario. However, what Biker is posting are actual facts of the results in real life. Mask use is at its highest percentage ever and virus spread is at his highest spread ever. So, his point is that those two things don't seem to square with each other.

I"m kind of sick of you tedious motherfuckers after 9 months or you being wrong and me being right so I'll just put one real world example of mask wearing being helpful.
Japan
In the beginning of the pandemic it was widely accepted that the Japanese government and the people reacted very lackadaisicaly to the virus. Poor social distancing, bars open, public transport packed......but they had no crazy spike in infections or deaths like the United States. Why? Probably because they have a national mask wearing culture.

Capt FS Stapes loves to didge that question because he cannot explain it
The mask and the Chicken Little who bow to it have made it sort of a religious thing, similar to the climate change, errr, global warming theories. Its no longer about science, its about politics

its not every scientific study that you read that uses the word "probably".
What about the science that asian people probably have some kind of natural immunity to the virus?

There isn't a credible person in the world who would agree with you that masks don't help. You keep trying to make some point and I don't really understand why. The reason we are 10 months into this thing and it's more out of control than ever is due to people like you.

Another dodge.
We are at our highest level of mask wearing in this country and cases have blown up. How do you square those two things?
