Just more BS on top of all the other BS.
"Conclusion
Retinal vascular occlusions might be a manifestation of COVID-19, although rare, especially in patients at risk of systemic hypercoagulability and thromboembolism. For COVID-19 vaccines, the causal relationship is controversial because there are few case reports of retinal vascular occlusions after COVID-19 vaccination."

"Retinal vascular occlusion (RVO) did not occur more frequently in the 3 weeks following administration of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine compared with influenza and tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) vaccines, a retrospective study showed."

"The analysis showed that 0.003% of patients had a new diagnosis of RVO within 21 days after receiving a mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, and the vaccination was not associated with development of RVO."

I might have looked at 20 different claims that texassapper and WYID dug about about the vaccine, and until now in every instance the disease was more likely to cause the problem than the vaccine.
Yes, intuitively this doesn't make sense to me. Texassapper's paper was published in Nature, a very prestigious, peer reviewed journal. So maybe this time there's substance to his claim.
Regardless, the risk of getting this condition from the vaccine is pretty low.
