70-Year-Old Woman Claims She Regained Eyesight After Covishield Jab!

Mumbai: This is a virtual eye-opener! A 70-year-old woman from Maharashtra has claimed that she partially regained her lost eyesight after taking the Covishield jab.

The woman, Mathurabai Bidve from Maharashtra’s Washim district, lost her eyesight to cataract nine years ago. The disease caused her iris to turn white, and she lost sight in both eyes. However, the day after she took the first dose of Covishield on June 26, she claimed that she got back thirty to forty percent of her sight in one eye, Zee News reported

Bidve, a native of Partur in Jalna district, lives with her relatives in Risod tehsil, the daily reported. Her claims regarding gaining her eyesight back after the Covishield dosage or any vaccine out there for that matter have no scientific backing.
