Covid a disaster like no other, vaccination saved lives: Centre to SC
Covid 19 pandemic was «a disaster like no other» and vaccination saved people's lives. The submission was made when a bench of Justices Vikram Nath and P B Varale was hearing a plea over the alleged vaccine-induced deaths of two women.
After additional solicitor general Aishwarya Bhati, representing the Centre, said Covid was a disaster like no other, senior advocate Colin Gonsalves, representing the women's parents, responded, «We are not contesting that. We do not dispute.»
The plea, filed by the parents of the two women, claimed after the first dose of their Covishield vaccination, the women suffered severe adverse effects following immunisation (AEFI).
Bhati said the apex court had holistically looked into the aspect of Covid vaccination and delivered a verdict dealing with the aspect of AEFI.
«Ultimately, it is a question of balancing the equities. Covid was a disaster like no other,» she said, «covid vaccination has saved lives during the pandemic and we have a robust regulatory mechanism.»
