I just took a statistics class, and the thing I find most hilarious about the vaccines, in a twisted sort of way, is that if the link between the vaccine and Bell's Palsy is rejected (as the mainstream media keeps screaming it should be) due to lack of data, then to be consistent, we need to reject the claim the vaccine works at all.
Both, after all, involved very small numbers of people, as very few people in either the vaccine or control group came down with Covid: not the large numbers you'd want to see to make a link. I think the nightmare scenario right now would be if it turned out these vaccines actually do nothing to protect against Covid, and that that's a statistical gimmick, but that the side effects are very real.....
