Known for playing President George W. Bush, Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Brand in “The Goonies,” the Academy Award-nominated actor sat down for “The Joe Rogan Experience” recently where an anecdote about a stressful move pivoted to concerns about vaccine liability.
In particular, Brolin revealed how four months prior, as he relocated to Santa Barbara, he, “contracted a mild case of Bell’s palsy.”
“So literally, I’m washing my face, and I’m doing this,” the actor said as he reenacted having his hands on his face, “and [my face] just started [sagging].”
After Rogan asked when it happened, the host readily pointed out, “That’s a side effect of the vaccine, too. That’s one of the side effects of COVID-19 vaccines.”
“I’ve heard that,” said Brolin. “I’ve also heard that speech impediments…I’ve heard a lot of things. Kids taking vaccines and things happening.”
Probing further into the topic, the host continued, “Yeah. That vaccine in particular. The mRNA one. Yeah. I know quite a few people that developed Bell’s palsy from them — well, whatever you want to call it.”
“Are you serious?” asked his guest as Rogan went on, “Yeah. Facial paralysis. Yeah. I know two people, specifically, that developed facial — like, droopy face.”

Of Bell’s Palsy, the Mayo Clinic noted that “The exact cause is not known. Experts think it’s caused by swelling and irritation of the nerve that controls the muscles on one side of the face. Bell’s palsy could be caused by a reaction that occurs after a viral infection.”
Meanwhile, Pfizer detailed in its fact sheet for healthcare providers, including the most recent formula for children aged six months to 11 years old, that Bell’s palsy was a known reaction to recipients, but the currently available information was “insufficient to determine a causal relationship with the vaccine.”
Speaking on the current schedule for children, Brolin said, “Because when my older kids — when my older kids were young, there were what, 17 vaccinations? And now that my younger kids are young, there’s 52.”
Rogan replied, “72. Yeah, it’s a series of them, but it’s ultimately 72 shots,” before voicing, “Well, the f*cked up thing is, if you talk about it, you’re an anti-vaxxer and you’re a conspiracy theorist.”
“They’ve done a really good job of demonizing anyone who questions a medicine that might be correlated with a bunch of f*cking serious diseases…They’ve just done a great job of gaslighting people,” the host went on as he brought up actress Jenny McCarthy’s concerns about her child’s autism, believed by her to be connected to a vaccine.
After a reminder about liability protections for pharmaceutical companies, Brolin went on to conclude, “Let’s not assault your children with a potential poison because everybody is different.”
