The government insists that the State is fully prepared for the 3rd wave so much so they even stated the same to the High Court!
Covishield vaccine has had a number of recipients developing blood clots and losing lives. This prompted several foreign countries to ban the same for certain age groups of patients.
In Goa, some people were advised against taking the vaccine because they get a visible clot below the skin when subjected to a minor hit on the hand/leg, etc. They were advised a blood test which showed all was well. This is all very well but when enquired ‘what next’ they replied to get the green signal from their family doctor who rightly referred them back to GMC.
What next? Where is the preparedness? Speaking in the air: ‘we are prepared’ is childish and not acceptable. They are not following their own objectives: get vaccinated. The GMC Dean must have a ready list of all such people and should write to the Centre to arrange for the Pfizer vaccine at the earliest by declaring the same as an emergency. Our inability to act is compromising the lives of people and we see nothing amiss.
What is wrong with us? If we cannot do the job then ask for help: 2 heads are better than one. This is not an exam where you cannot get outside help.
