Covid a disaster like no other, vaccination saved lives: Centre to SC

NEW DELHI: The Centre on Tuesday stated in the Supreme Court that the Covid 19 pandemic was “a disaster like no other” and vaccination saved people’s lives.

The submission was made when a bench of Justices Vikram Nath and P B Varale was hearing a plea over the alleged vaccine-induced deaths of two women.

After additional solicitor general Aishwarya Bhati, representing the Centre, said Covid was a disaster like no other, senior advocate Colin Gonsalves, representing the women’s parents, responded, “We are not contesting that. We do not dispute.”
