@steeldove forwarded the following article to me. I thought this research information might offer some help to some of us who are trying to understand the research going into the different reactions seen by a small percentage of people who have received the COVID-19 vaccine. It's not much consolation for those adversely affected but may give us a better understanding of some of the side effects.

Thanks John - I read part of this article on another site yesterday, they skipped the conclusion comparing total doses administered to total instances of facial paralysis, making it look like it was a relatively common side effect - I communicated my displeasure with the incomplete analysis to that person.

I agree it is little consolation to the people who get the reaction - I certainly wasn't happy to have to be injected in December to end my reaction to the flu vaccine that lingered from October. But I'm not sorry I got the shot - with my lungs, influenza turns to pneumonia every time.

And I'm not sorry I got the Covid vaccine even though my hands, arms and shoulders are not yet back to "normal" - at least my life is - being out, seeing friends, hugging grandkids...
