Since the time coronavirus has taken the world by storm, people have been waiting for the day when a vaccine for this contagious virus would be readily available to all. But Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh took to Twitter to question its need.
ऐ वतन वतन मेरे आबाद रहे तू
मैं जहाँ रहूँ जहां में याद रहे तू
ऐ वतन मेरे वतन…🇮🇳🇮🇳सभी देशवासियों को स्वतंत्रता दिवस की बहुत बहुत शुभकामनाएँ 🇮🇳🇮🇳जय हिंद जय भारत 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 pic.twitter.com/0aaY69eGwo— Harbhajan Turbanator (@harbhajan_singh) August 15, 2020
Harbhajan tweeted asking whether Indians “seriously” need a Covid vaccine based on his math skills. He dished out the data for his argument stating that India’s recovery rate without the vaccine is 93.6%, while the vaccines that have been developed till now have a lesser accuracy rate. Check it out:
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 Turbanator (@harbhajan_singh) December 3, 2020
However, Twitter users did not buy into his argument and schooled him for his logic:
When Indian batsman can chase 350 runs in an ODI match then why do we need specialist bowlers, even part time bowlers will do
When a spinner is bowling at slow speed why do we need pads for the legs, our bones are strong enough to sustain#BhajjieLogic 🤷🏻♂️https://t.co/pTizpV3tgS

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 % okay and rest 6.4 will be not selected for 2021.

100-93.6 = 6.4%.
(6.4% of Indian population is at risk of death due to Corona).
The vaccine will help save 94.5% out of this 6.4% as well.
In a country of a billion+ people, that is a huge number.
It is a difference between 88,618,262 people dying vs 4,874,004 people dying.— Nandan Pandit (@npandit) December 3, 2020
