April 24, 2020, India- Outrage in people after well known Indian actor and the Tamilnadu state’s ambassador for creating public health messages passed away a day after he received the #COVID19 vaccine.
“The government hospitals provide healthcare services to the majority of poor people. Many have doubts about vaccination and its side effects. There are also several rumours doing the rounds,” Vivekh told the media after receiving his first COVID0-19 shot.
“I want to put an end to all the rumors. I want to show people that there is no danger in getting vaccinated. On the contrary, it will protect us. And it is not like this vaccination will completely prevent us from getting COVID-19 infection. After the vaccination, even if we catch the virus, there won’t be death. So after vaccination, we should still follow the safety guidelines.”
24 hours later, the 59-year-old Vivekh suffered cardiac arrest.
“His vaccination was at a public event with TV channels carrying photographs of him taking the shot. As the cardiac arrest happened less than 24 hours after the inoculation, there were questions raised whether he died due to the side-effects of the vaccine,” GreatGameIndia reported last week.
