Minister’s Twitter spat with Shashi Tharoor on Covaxin continues
The Twitter spat about the COVID-19 vaccination drive between Union Minister Hardeep Puri and Congress leaders continued on Wednesday, with Mr. Puri accusing the party’s leaders of fuelling vaccine hesitancy. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Wednesday morning re-tweeted a tweet of his from two weeks ago saying Covaxin had been tested on enough people and proven its worth. This, he said, was for the “benefit of my friend”, Mr. Puri. The Minister had alleged earlier that Mr. Tharoor had spread vaccine hesitancy by saying Covaxin had not yet completed phase three trials in January.More Related News
