Noted lawyer Parashant Bhushan created a flutter on Monday by tweeting that he is not going to take vaccines against Covid. Subsequently, he received a lot of brickbats in social media with netizens demanding Twitter to act against him for his tweets that were against the policy of the micro-blogging site.
In a series of tweets, Bhushan said he is not anti-vaccine but against the promotion of universal
vaccination. Bhushan claimed the younger population has a higher chance of dying through vaccination as compared to suffering severe complications or even death due to coronavirus.
“For the record, I have not taken, nor do I intend to take any Covid Vaccine,” tweeted Bhushan.
“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,” Bhushan said in a subsequent tweet.
Bhushan’s stand against vaccination is not a new phenomenon.
