Ocular Hemorrhage Attributed to COVID-19 Vaccination
Risk Factors Include Diabetes, Prior Eye Surgery, and Ocular Injections but Not Oral Anticoagulants
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
In clinical practice I have seen a range of ocular pathologies in patients after COVID-19 vaccination and confirmed findings with ophthalmologists. One thing I have learned is that the Spike protein from COVID-19 vaccination can cause a wide array of both bleeding and clotting abnormalities long after injection. This may be worsened by intercurrent COVID-19 illness. Because of the widespread use of fibrinolytic and anticoagulant supplements (nattokinase, bromelain) and medicinal antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs (aspirin, clopidogrel, apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, warfarin), I wondered if use of these agents was worsening the risk of bleeding in the eye among the vaccinated.
I found numerous reports of ocular hemorrhage after COVID-19 vaccination. Diabetes, prior cataract surgery, and injections for macular degeneration were cited as risk factors or co-incident conditions. It was interesting that not a single report cited an over-the-counter or prescription blood thinner as a contributing factor.
While all supplements and drugs have risks and benefits, I believe our usual and customary practice of warning patients concerning mucosal and major bleeding is reasonable. The risks of clotting after vaccination far outweigh the risks of bleeding, and thus I will continue to recommend anticoagulant regimens in the appropriate clinical scenarios with bleeding caveats given to patients.

I have spoken to Kirsch several times. The COVID-19 vaccines cause an array of various hemorrhagic ocular syndromes even years after the shots. The vaccines appear to be the primary driver. Not blood thinners or supplements.
A couple of months back I met someone that has this same diagnosis in her eye. It started with the Shingles on her face, then it went in one eye. Yes, she was vaccinated with 3 MNRA shots. She said, that she never got Covid. She doesn’t know there is any correlation. I told her about you, Dr.McCullough, to seek your help. Her doctor put her on steroids. He told her that she might lose her eye sight if the blood clots don’t go away. I blame most unusual conditions on that MNRA shot.
My heart breaks into that some people are in denial about the harm that it can cause. I hope and pray that she is alright today.
Thank you, Dr. McCullough for always seeking the true root to an illness and sharing your diagnosis through documented studies.
