Puneeth Rajkumar dies aged 46 from heart attack. Considering he was vaccinated a few months ago, and not just within 4 weeks, and the fact that he was a well known fitness freak is really getting people wondering.
The tweet he made in April after receiving his first shot is generating a lot of replies now, and makes me realise that even the most vaccinated state (90%) in India still has a lot of people ready to ask questions.
This kinda hits close to home as I grew up watching his movies (as a kid actor) and his dad's (who was the mega star in that state). Here is a fun song if anyone wants to watch.
I know too many people in that state, all educated and well to do people, who are religious about vaccines and will defend it to death. Uttar Pradesh is typically more rural and less "educated" in conventional sense. South India is much more heavily educated and urban population, and hence they conform to the "experts".
My dad, who took the jabs, is not convinced that they are bad. He says a large number of people are realising it, but they carefully tiptoe around it, and never try to talk about it directly.
Its truly a crazy world.
If you 'elevate' calm and pragmatic science to the level of hysterical dogma that comes with an ego that cannot ever be questioned, it isnt science any longer.
Its tragic that this realization will come too late for many, I hope your dad pulls through with minimal damage.
