In my experience, FDA does not generally "get math wrong."

Too many people involved....

And of course, FDA and the manufacturer are separate.

Doubtful any Pfizer lawyer would sign off on anything sketchy.

This is all very fluid and humankind will continue to learn.

Perhaps without any vaccines, humankind would learn in parallel with more hospitalizations, deaths, and folks with long term health issues due to Covid.

Folks can speculate about that of course, and such speculation will go on for decades...

As far as Bell's Palsy goes... I have not done any reading, so I do not know if some envisioned physiologic response to any of the authorized Covid vaccines could create a pathway to that condition.

I would surmise that my good friend with 20+ years of running clinical affairs in the vaccine space might have some experience with a range of reactogenicity expectations even with the newer Covid vaccines.

Not gonna bother her about this...

My personal belief is that we will learn more, and that challenges with correlation versus cause and effect will exist as long as there are humans to consider the challenges.
