Woman loves her Bells palsy after jab

Video Transcript:

I wanted to talk about it responsibly. I don't want to discourage people from getting vaccines. And that strangely, I. I don't really want to discourage them from getting this one. Jennifer Gibson says she got the COVID vaccine because she wanted to see life in Canada. Get back to normal, but the Toronto woman wasn't prepared for what she saw when she looked in the mirror in a mirror. And then she said, I don't think she was going to be able to get a vaccine. She said she had a few weeks after getting her AstraZeneca shot in the morning. I was just looking and I thought, gosh, something is weird with my face and I thought, whatever I slept funny, no big deal. And by the end of the day, my husband even I was asking him, like, this is weird now. And even with kindness, he had to say, I'm just going to have to look at after face being paralyzed. But I the little that I knew of Bell's pals, the I thought people don't die from that. So the fact that it wasn't something that I was going to not be around for my daughter later. You know, it's it's dealable. It sucks, but it's dealable. Gibson is sharing her experience on Instagram to show people what vaccine side effects could potentially be like. You know, I think it's really good to get back to real life and I have friends who are writing cancer and they can't get their treatments. Health Canada tracks adverse reactions to COVID vaccines. And the most recent data shows 131 cases like Gibson's Bell's palsy has been reported in clinical trials for all COVID vaccines approved in Canada, but also in patients who received a placebo or no vaccine. So they're not going to be around a hundred thousand hundred thousand. And when I calculate the data here, that rate is less than one per hundred thousand. Bell's palsy typically resolves itself within two to six months, but in some cases can persist. Gibson says she started to work on the vaccine. It's not a big deal. It's not a big deal. I think it's a big deal. You know, I think it's a big deal. I think it's a big deal. I think it's a big deal. I think it's a big deal. This, Gibson says she started seeing some improvement in the last few days, but in the meantime, she hopes that by sharing her story, we can talk about the benefits and side effects of getting the shot. I thought we could go back to really life and, you know, help those who can't get it. I think it's a big deal.
