Justin Beiber and his wife both had COVID-19 again in March. They have never confirmed if they were vaccinated, but since then she has had multiple clots, a stroke, and neurological issues. Now he has a rare neurological syndrome. I'm sorry to hear about this, but I also wonder if they are connected.
We will probably never know, but if it is related then maybe the world will start caring about not letting a virus run amock. People don't care about the workers, but they do care about celebrities.
P.S.A. I hope people are aware that Monkey Pox is also airborne. Please just mask up.
The way these AV people think. It's deviant though I suppose you could consider it a form of critical thinking when it is not outright sophism. I suppose some scientist will, or did, get a million $ grant to prove or disprove.
Bieber's eye movement thing is strange.

Is facial nerve palsy an early manifestation of COVID-19? A literature review

His wife’s father is an absolute lunatic wingnut. I would be shocked if the daughter had been vaccinated. Also don’t believe this guy was. They’re utter loons. The lot of them.
VZV activation is opportunistic. The stress of fighting off SARS-2-CoV could be a factor, as could lingering cell damage (which we are still struggling to understand).
I've had Bell's Palsy, which is suspected to be caused by HSV activation in the cranial nerve, although not as clearly demonstrated as with Ramsay Hunt and VZV. It started with a weird tingling in my tongue and lip, just on one side, then progressed to paralysis of the face. The biggest hassles were eating and drinking without dribbling, and keeping my eye moist on one side (the lid wouldn't close). It took about four weeks to resolve completely.
The shingles vaccine is indicated for those fifty and older or those with weakened immune systems. I have talked with many people who’ve said that they had shingles in their 20s and 30s. One woman even told me that her 15 year old daughter had it. The only reason the vaccine isn’t for those under 50 is because they didn’t test it in that segment of the population.
I wonder if COVID can weaken the immune system enough to allow an infection like shingles.
