"Four people out of 22,000 in the vaccinated group developed Bell’s Palsy, about 0.02% of participants. This is consistent with the expected rate in the general population, and it’s not a strong enough correlation to prove any causal connection between the vaccine and the condition."
It's the old "correlation Vs causation" card trick!
I've seen arguments around the trial group being strictly controlled and skewed to healthy people (and not including specific at-risk subpopulations).
Also 22 sometimes one of those fun occult numbers they are into (if one follows that sort of thing).
The way they were evaluating if the vaccine worked was by assuming that asymptomatic subjects had not gotten infected. They did not perform any tests to verify.
Yes, you heard that right. As long as you didn't show symptoms, the vaccine was assumed to work.
Look at how politifact attempts to deboonk it:

Holy shit, are you serious? Do you have a concise source for that claim. That would unsettle a few normies I know. lol
