So far, the FDA said that the number of Bell's palsy cases seen in the Pfizer vaccine trial was 'consistent with the background frequency of reported Bell's palsy in the vaccine group that is consistent with the expected background rate in the general population

How many were in the trial?

They'll never tell you that. The only reason you know about it at all is someone squealed.

~25k each in control and vaccinated groups.

Four cases in the vaccinated group, none in the control.

So 16 per 100k, quick Google says 35 per 100k in the population.

So...this is suddenly not so suspicious.
