I have a scar on my cornea. I went to the eye doctor last month (post double vaccination) and my scar has improved.

The optometrist said it’s because my contact lenses are a special type (that must be filled with fluid, and my eyes are dry, so it promotes healing of the scar and has actually changed my prescription for something slightly weaker) but she’s just an educated elite expert who works in an ivory tower and doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Clearly the vaccination heals eye disease.

I must conclude that the story about the retinal detachment is BS. How could the vaccine both heal and hurt eyes? That is offensive to logic.

Allergies to logic are at an all time high!

I know a guy whose daughter in law’s friend got the vaccine. And within a week, she threw her glasses away. Perfect vision! Better than 20:20! She has super vision now. And all thanks to the vaccine!

Not heat vision or x-ray vision?? She probably got J&J.

I’m pretty bummed that the only superpower I got from the vaccine was the ability to emit withering sarcasm.

I think that was a pre-existing condition.

Sure, but the vaccine didn’t remove that ability.

+1 Vaccine promoters!
