Meningococcal vaccine

Not trusting big pharma was a point made in the opening post.

But the vaccine maker paid for the study that found the potential issue and then they published the results. What's not trustworthy about sharing your own bad news? I don't see anything crooked - actually the opposite.

Really, what would be bad is if they didn't publish the results. But they did, as they should.

"The association needs further investigation as it could be due to chance, concomitant vaccination, or underlying medical history predisposing to Bell's palsy," the authors write.
Several authors disclosed financial ties to Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics (now part of GlaxoSmithKline Vaccines), which funded the study.

Good thing they threw that in. Doesn't sound too damning to me, and it still doesn't erase previous corruption.

Irrelevant to the vaccine itself.

This was what was said:

If it's big pharma the OP wants to discuss then a topic could be started on it. Starting a topic on each and every vaccine just to complain about big pharma seems redundant if the topic heading isn't going to be mentioned.

Still failing to see what problems the vaccine has. This was a limited study that doesn't appear to have been read by the OP.

It's fine to be wary of big pharma. But what isn't ok is to deny the science of vaccines. They've saved millions of lives and that's a fact that simply can't be argued.

To deny the science of vaccines is to support the deaths of millions of innocent children.

And Bell's Palsy is nothing. It's an inconvenience that I can say from experience isn't a big deal.

And certainly not life threatening.
