There is no vaccine, medicine with zero side effects, says former AIIMS chief

Dr Randeep Guleria spoke about the misconceptions of Covid vaccines causing blood clots, heart attacks and other diseases during the pandemic, in an interview with The Lallantop’s Sarwat.

While the war against Covid is still raging, there was a lot of misinformation about the use of vaccines almost two years ago.

The former AIIMS Director highlighted that there’s no data or research that proves Covid vaccines that could cause major changes in the body.

“We have to first consider this: there is no vaccine or medicine that will have zero side effects. Every medicine or a vaccine will have some side effects. But there’s no concrete data that says heart attacks are caused by vaccines or sudden deaths are caused by vaccines,” said Dr Guleria.

He added that, however, it is possible there were incidences of people contracting certain certain allergies or some sort of reaction, which is “normal even when you have a regular medicine.”

The expert also said that in India and even abroad, acute adverse effects of immunisation (side effects of vaccines) were being closely monitored to see if there were any major side effects.

“In many countries, as soon as there were doubts about a vaccine, the governments paused distribution for a while and then re-started it once there was enough study to prove it was safe for the body. There could be some side-effects of the vaccines but nothing claims lives,” said Dr Guleria.
