The Supreme Court Today (March 5) will hear a case where parents of two women who allegedly died due to Covid vaccine side effects seek compensation and a probe into vaccine records. They demand financial aid for all families who lost loved ones post-vaccination.
The Supreme Court heard a plea regarding the vaccine-induced deaths of two young women following Covishield immunisation. The petitioners’ parents alleged a lack of transparency about adverse effects, while the Centre defended the vaccine’s life-saving role during the pandemic. The Court acknowledged the sensitivity of the issue and instructed the petitioners to submit their application to the Centre, granting four weeks for a response.
Today, on October 14th, India’s Supreme Court dismissed a Public Interest Litigation regarding Covid-19 vaccine side effects, labeling it as sensationalist and aimed at inciting public fear. The court emphasized the importance of vaccines in saving lives during the pandemic and encouraged rational discourse based on scientific evidence rather than baseless claims.
