Activist-Lawyer Prashant Bhushan’s tweet about vaccine has been flagged as “misleading” by Twitter as he said that it was “irresponsible to promote universal vaccination of experimental and untested vaccines especially to young and COVID recovered”. Bhushan said it after attaching a news article about a case where a 45-year-old woman died 10 days after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.

"No one from govt has come to visit us or order an enquiry into my wife's death.I still curse myself for persuading my wife to take the vaccine.I thought it would save us from the virus, but it killed her".

In his next tweet, Bhushan wrote “The healthy young have hardly any chance of serious effects or dying due to covid. They have a higher chance of dying due to vaccines. The covid recovered have much better natural immunity, than the vaccine gives them. Vaccines may even compromise their acquired natural immunity.” The tweet earned him censure by the social media platform and displayed a warning saying that the tweet is “misleading”. Along with the notification from Twitter, many users of the same online platform could be seen criticising him. “This tweet is misleading. Find out why health officials consider COVID 19 vaccines safe for most people” Twitter said.

Bhushan also confessed that he hadn’t taken vaccine yet and didn’t intend to take it either. “For the record, I have not taken, nor do I intend to take any Covid Vaccine” his tweet read.

However, Bhushan didn’t step back as he came up with another tweet summarising his “vaccine scepticism” and said that he was “shocked by attempts to censor such contrarian views”.

I have been attacked by many for tweeting about my views on Covid vaccines. The piece below summarises my Vaccine skepticism & the reasons for this. Apart from the vaccines being untested & having serious adverse effects, I am shocked by attempts to censor such contrarian views pic.twitter.com/UktE7f7BPt

“By not getting vaccinated you are an obstacle to Herd Immunity, a reservoir for disease, and a clear & present threat to the health & safety of Indians. Prashant Bhushan should be ARRESTED under the Compulsory Vaccination Act 1892, Epidemic Diseases Act 1897, Passport Act 1967.” said a Twitter user condemning Prashanth whereas another one said “Prashant Bhushan is still at large spreading vaccine hesitancy with malice. This man is more dangerous the virus

Prashant Bhushan clearly and merely wanted attention. There can’t be another reason for such eager demonstration of insanity.

Asking for a Prashant Bhushan.

Prashant Bhushan is absolutely an antivaxxer.
He declares that he has no intention of taking the vaccine because it is untested.
Covishield or AztraZeneca has been given to millions. It is safe & effective for healthy men & women, and safer for older people >65 yo.

Please don't spread Prashant Bhushan's dangerous and unscientific anti-vax tweets.

I'm sorry to see him do this. Covid has taken so many lives; we desperately need universal vaccination. @TwitterSupport must give users a way to report medical misinformation, esp on vaccines.
