A shocking new study published in the esteemed British scientific journal “Nature” last week might prove difficult for some to read, particularly those who received the COVID-19 vaccines.
Taiwanese scientists at the Chung Shan Medical University Hospital found there is “a strong correlation between vaccination with a mRNA vaccine and retinal vascular occlusion.”
According to the Cleveland Clinic, retinal vascular occlusion is a form of blood clot that affects the eye: “When a retinal vein is blocked, it cannot drain blood from the retina. This leads to hemorrhages (bleeding) and leakage of fluid from blocked blood vessels.”
If, for instance, the RVO prompts blood and fluid to leak into the central area of the retina, called the macula, a macular edema may result and cause blurring or loss of vision. Alternatively, RVO can cause the development of abnormal blood vessels that leak into the vitreous, clouding vision and possibly causing the retina to detach from the back of the eye.
