Health Min Slams Opposition For Politicising COVID-19 Vaccines

Reacting to the Opposition’s 'politicising' comments on the recently approved two COVID-19 vaccines, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan has lashed out at opposition leaders for discrediting "science-backed protocols". Mentioning Shashi Tharoor,  Akhilesh Yadav and Jairam Ramesh, he tweeted, “Disgraceful for anyone to politicise such a critical issue.” Earlier, while Akhilesh Yadav termed it as BJP's vaccine and claimed to not get inoculated, Congress leader Tharoor had accused the government for approving a "premature" vaccine.
