“Covid-19?”
Is the vaccine safe I have had nerve damage from bilateral bells palsy that I had for over a year and I have Parkinson's disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes?

In your case, you might want to weigh the risks vs. the benefits seriously. Bell's palsy is one of the side effects of the vaccine. Look on the CDC.org website under the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reports). While the long-term effects of the vaccines have not been established, there is mounting evidence of many potential side effects. Yet you have other medical conditions that have been shown to predispose you to more serious morbidity and mortality should you get COVID-19. So, given those factors, you would need to make an informed decision to get vaccinated or not.
