A group of doctors and scientists on Thursday hit out at the critics of the government's approval of two Covid-19 vaccines. The group alleged that the critics' "reprehensible" utterances are causing a huge credibility crisis for the Indian scientific community.
In a statement signed by 45 medical professionals and scientists, the group expressed shock at the "irresponsible statements of vested interests". They also accused these critics of casting aspersions on Indian experts' integrity by making politicised statements to doubt the recent research in the field of Covid-19 vaccines.
