Phuket – A 62-year-old grandmother called the press for help after her 12-year-old boy in the Thalang district has gone blind after he reportedly received a second dose of the Covid -19 vaccine, according to her. Meanwhile, leading Phuket doctors have confirmed the boy’s blindness was, according to them, NOT due to a Covid-19 vaccine.

 

Local Phuket media visited the 12-year-old boy (The Phuket Express is withholding his name) over the past weekend. The boy lives with his 62-year-old grandmother and 62-year-old grandfather in the Thalang district.

His grandmother, Mrs. Kaesri Saeong, told the Phuket media, “My nephew received the second dose of a Pfizer vaccine last year on November 25th, 2021. Ten days after he said he was unwell before convulsing. He was sent to an ICU room at a hospital. When he woke up he had gone completely blind.”

If it is identified, then it is identified.

Yeah I wont trust a Thai doctor with anything. 

There are some scientific case studies as well as web is full of stories. It is possible to loose eyesight and one of many risks associated with this vaccine.

Conclusion

There may be a correlation between ocular inflammatory diseases with autoimmune mechanism and the mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.

Have they isolated the "bacteria" which has caused the alleged infection causing the inflammation and have they identified the source of the bacteria?

Release the science behind the cause of the convulsions. Yes people with unrelated bacterial infections especially in the sinus region do convulse, I feel further investigation and information required

There's alot on the line here.  Everywhere.  It's not the Thai doctors that need to be singled out here.

It's not when really.  It's the reliability of the investigation.

You might find this listed somewhere in this Pfizer paper, if you have the time to read pages 30 to 38.5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf

[RJRS1301]

Hope the good doctors and researchers have done checks on information available and have held specimens of the "bacteria" for further research.

 

Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had profound and lasting consequences since 2019. Although vaccines against COVID-19 have been developed and approved under emergency use authorization, various adverse events have also been reported after COVID-19 vaccination. This review was undertaken to help clinicians recognize the possible manifestations and systemic pathogenesis, especially those related to the eye, after receiving COVID-19 vaccination. A systemic search was performed on 22 August 2021 through Embase, Medline, and Cochrane Library for publications on ocular manifestations after COVID-19 vaccination. Two case-control studies/retrospective cohort studies, one cross-sectional study, three case series, sixteen case reports, two images, and seven letters were included. Ocular manifestations after receiving COVID-19 vaccines may appear on the eyelid, cornea and ocular surface, retina, uvea, nerve, and vessel. The ocular manifestations occurred up to forty-two days after vaccination, and vaccine-induced immunologic responses may be responsible. Although the incidence rate of ocular symptoms is considerably lower in the vaccinated subjects than in COVID-19 patients, physicians should be aware of the possible associations between COVID-19 vaccines and ocular symptoms for the early diagnosis and treatment of vision problems or life-threatening complications.

which is not a list of things that have happened - you do understand that, right? 

It is literally a list of things reported via voluntary reporting systems, and that have not been substantiated

It's staph, which is a common bacteria which afflicts many hospitals around the world, even those with much higher standards than many in Thailand.

And occular cellulitis with accompanying impaired vision or blindness is a far more common result of staph infections than you would think. Scientific papers discussing these facts are not difficult to find.

Of course the antivax brigade will be all over this like a cheap suit, because they tend to avoid things like proven science.

Of Staph?

Yes they have, for years. Did you do anything but google "Covid vaccines bad"?

There isn't. Staph infections and damaged sight is not a new thing.

whoop de doo, that's some "conclusion" with next to no basis in science. How about (from 2016):
 

Quote

A team of Korean clinical investigators found nearly 10 percent of cases of Staphylococcus aureus infections of the blood spread to the eyeball and can severely impair vision or even cause blindness.

Which in the case of some of the posters here is non-existent.

Yes I did. I did not even go to Dr Google "bad" or otherwise, being fully engaged in may fields. Do not judge others by your own standards please

However they have not named the bacteria, if it was as simple as Staph, surely they would have named it. On what do you base your diagnosis? Seen the path results?

Staph is one possibility only, so why was it no named as the possible cause?
