If you believe anything that bunch of climate sceptics have to say
about COVID vaccines, I have this really nice bridge over the East
River going cheap....

Article links to the gov't source for their claims. Is the gov't wrong?
Some truth hungry provaxxer needs to go check that the article didn't
misreport the gov't's reports while they can still see. Funny how
people attack the messenger for passing on government vaccine data.

I've read the references Yellow Card report: did you?

With a bit over 12 million first vaccinations and around 600,000 2nd
shots, it reports some 168 anaphylaxis (severe allergy) reactions, no
proven cases of Bell's Palsy and 403 ADRs (Adverse Drug Reaction). No
other specifically identified side effects were identified, though
apparently the Pfizer vaccine has more reactions to its shots than the
Oxford/AstraZenica vaccine.

There is no mention of any associated blindness and, indeed, scanning the
complete report for 'blind', 'blindness', 'eye', 'optic' and 'visual'
found no hits at all, so it seems that any claims of associated blindness
are purest bull****.

I agree, but strangely, in that page, Chrome text search (ctrl/F) reported two hits for "blind" (yes, yes, without the quotes!), but couldn't actually find either!
Clearly, a tool built for trolls!

I did discover where those snippets of disease tables came from - there
are appendices associated with both vaccine types that go on for pages
and, as far as I can tell from there preliminary boilerplate, are saying
in effect that 'people visiting a medic after having a vaccination shot
were found to have these conditions' but there is absolutely no
indication whether these were pre-existing conditions, and so not
associated with being vaccinated. Seeing that the main report didn't
mention them, any connection seems unlikely and the association of
blindness with a vaccine, if it exists at all, is very slight at under
1:120,000 or 0.0008 %.
