June 28, 2021 11:56

Prashant Bhushan's irresponsible statement on vaccination.

If you follow him, don't follow his advice.

Bhushan, a respected Supreme Court lawyer and activist, an IIT Madras and Princeton College alumni, but not a medical professional, tweets, "The healthy young have hardly any chance of serious effects or dying due to covid. They have a higher chance of dying due to vaccines. The covid recovered have much better natural immunity, than the vaccine gives them. Vaccines may even compromise their acquired natural immunity. For the record, I have not taken, nor do I intend to take any Covid Vaccine."

This is what you should read on vaccination: Vaccination is the only long-term solution to Covid.
