India does not need a coronavirus vaccine, according to Harbhajan Singh
Former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has his own view about the coronavirus vaccine to be provided in his country.
According to the 40-year-old former cricketer, India does not need a coronavirus vaccine.
Taking it to social media, Harbhajan in a tweet on Thursday said, “Pfizer and BioNTech Vaccine: Accuracy 94%; Moderna Vaccine: Accuracy *94.5%; and Oxford Vaccine: Accuracy *90%.”
“Do we seriously need [a] vaccine,” while wondering over the million-dollar question, Harbajan added that India’s recovery rate without the vaccine was 93.6% pointing that it was much higher than what the efficacy was shown by the vaccine in the trial.
PFIZER AND BIOTECH Vaccine:
Accuracy *94%
Moderna Vaccine: Accuracy *94.5%
Oxford Vaccine: Accuracy *90%
Indian Recovery rate (Without Vaccine): 93.6%
Do we seriously need vaccine 🤔🤔

Harbhajan Singh’s remarks on Twitter has sparked a new debate:
Do not post such stupid tweets.. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
If there was a 5% chance that the plane will crash, will u board it?
A recovery rate of 93.6% means 6.4% will get serious/die.
Now calculate the 6.4% of 1.4 billion population!! DO THE MATH!

93.6% recovery means 6.4% die. 95% vaccine accuracy means there is 95% chance you won’t be in that 6.4%.
Also, recovery comes side-effects physically & mentally & seeing this tweet, I can say people like you need the vaccine most as you can’t afford to lose any more brain cells.

I wouldn't completely write this off. From a recent Ipsos survey. "52% of the respondents from India ‘strongly’ or ‘somewhat’ agreed with the statement ‘The chance of getting of COVID-19 is so low that a vaccine is not necessary.’ U.S. was the next highest at 31%." pic.twitter.com/jmyOhWQAzq
