Harbhajan Singh on Twitter wondered whether Indians ‘seriously’ need a vaccine against Covid-19 considering India’s recovery rate without the vaccine is 93.6 per cent while vaccines that were being developed seems to have less accuracy rate.
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
The former India spinner even dished out data stating Pfizer and biotech vaccine’s accuracy is being claimed at 94 per cent, while Moderna’s and Oxford’s accuracy rate is at 94.5 percent and 90 per cent, respectively.
Heres’ what Twitter users are saying:
Efficacy of 95 per cent means the vaccine will prevent 95 per cent of people from contacting coronavirus, leaving the only per cent vulnerable to the disease. Inoculating everyone with COVID-19 vaccines under development can save millions of lives.
The Twitter user explained to him- 93.6% recovery means 6.4% die. 95% vaccine accuracy means there is a 95% chance you won’t be in that 6.4%.
93.6% recovery means 6.4% die. 95% vaccine accuracy means there is 95% chance you won’t be in that 6.4%.
Also, recovery comes side-effects physically & mentally & seeing this tweet, I can say people like you need the vaccine most as you can’t afford to lose any more brain cells.

The logic did not sit well with netizens and they brutally trolled Singh.
YES! Because the seven per cent that are dying in absence of medicine need a chance. Also, stop copy-pasting WhatsApp forwards without even a single google search 🤦🏻♀️

Twitter users are not buying Singh’s argument and are schooling the former cricketer on some logic and advising him to not ‘post such stupid tweets’.

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!
Learn SCIENCE before tweeting@harbhajan_singh

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
Myth: COVID Cases are Rising But People Aren’t Dying
A fatal velocity ⬇️
First 100,000 deaths = 100 days
Last 100,000 deaths = 10 daysInfection fatality rate is lower but absolute number of deaths are now accumulating faster since cases are manifold.
Take it seriously.
