Yeah, so if anyone is wondering exactly why this debonking is Grade A bullshit, the Bell's Palsy rate they are using for a comparison is the yearly rate which is 1 to 4 in 10,000, or 0.01% - 0.04%. But these cases sprang up during the dosing period which, generously, took place over a week. So to normalize the observed rate to a year, you have to multiply by about 50.
Thus the rate of Bell's Palsy in the vaccination group is about 50 times higher than expected.
