HARBHAJAN SINGH TWEETS "DO WE SERIOUSLY NEED VACCINE" FOR COVID-19; TWITTER HAS THE BEST ANSWER!
Home > News Shots > SportsWith still no vaccine in sight for the deadly COVID-19, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh took to social media and asked fans "Do we seriously need a vaccine?"
Last week, a glimmer of hope appeared when few companies such as Pfizer and Moderna claimed to have developed a vaccine against COVID-19. While many still wonder how effective the vaccines would be.
On sharing his thoughts Singh said; "PFIZER AND BIOTECH Vaccine: Accuracy *94%, Moderna Vaccine: Accuracy *94.5% Oxford Vaccine: Accuracy *90%". Singh added that the recovery rate among Indians without a vaccine was 93.6%, suggesting that the citizens of India may as well do away with the need for a vaccine altogether.
Soon after his tweet went viral, Twitter users were not ready to buy Singh's statement. He got schooled by fans while many asked him not to post such tweets.
Check few of them below:
Myth: COVID Cases are Rising But People Aren’t Dying
A fatal velocity ⬇️
First 100,000 deaths = 100 days
Last 100,000 deaths = 10 days
Infection fatality rate is lower but absolute number of deaths are now accumulating faster since cases are manifold.
Take it seriously.

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.

93.6 % okay and rest 6.4 will be not selected for 2021.
"Vaccine is essential"
It's not a cricket match where review is allowed.

If everyone in indian cricket team has a MoM award, then India should win all matches.
It doesn't happen that way, bhai. Statistics can be misleading and can help make a fool of ourselves.

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!

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

Vaccine means. protection not recovery.
So you don't get it again and can be spared from severe side effects of the virus.
My Father is in hospital right now fighting with Corona..His lungs are so damaged that he is on the oxygen 24/7 and on heavy meds, I wish we had a vaccine.

Only 1 batsman has died on the cricket pitch. Do we seriously need helmet, kidney guard, shin guard, chest guard etc..??

Please calculate 6% of Indian population who cannot recover, I do agree it's not a vaccine we need ,it s a 100% medicine that we need, Also your understanding of efficacy is wrong what I can see,
u skipped IPL sat at home because of pandemic not many can do it for ever
