Topic: Bell S Palsy

Forrest Maready explains the thesis of his book Crooked, which argues that facial asymmetry and "crooked" smiles are indicators of neurological damage to the brain stem and cranial nerves. He suggests that the 4:1 ratio of boys to girls with autism matches the ratio of those with asymmetrical facial features. The segment includes accounts from parents who documented sudden changes in their children's smiles immediately following vaccination appointments.

The discussion covers data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), noting reports of deaths, serious injuries, and Bell's palsy. Elliott cites a Harvard study suggesting that less than 1% of adverse reactions are actually reported. He also criticizes the CDC for changing policy to only count "breakthrough cases" that result in hospitalization or death.
