My friend the eye researcher is in the process of writing up a paper on her patient who got optic neuritis after being vaccinated. As she put it, "as I get ready to submit a paper detailing the rxn my patient had, I find out that NIH is accumulating a number of cases of people with certain types of reactive immune systems (SLE, in particular), that have serious side effects." She notes that she is more cautious about recommending the vaccine to people, though she is still definitely a proponent.

For those interested in the SLE aspect....

There have been more than 1,200 cases of a myocarditis or pericarditis mostly in people 30 and under who received Pfizer’s or Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine, according to CDC data.

Roughly 300 million of the shots had been administered as of June 11, the agency said.

For both vaccines combined, there were 12.6 heart inflammation cases per million doses.

“This is still a rare event,” Dr. Tom Shimabukuro said at the meeting. For both vaccines combined, there were 12.6 heart inflammation cases per million doses. The cases were more frequent among Moderna’s vaccine recipients at 19.8 cases per million versus eight cases per million for Pfizer’s, he said.
