“The court has, with good intention, said everyone in the country should get vaccinated. I want to ask you, ‘If the court says tomorrow that you have to give this much (of vaccine) and if it has not been produced yet, should we hang ourselves?’” Gowda said.
The HC on Thursday made sharp observations against the state’s failure to ensure vaccines to different age groups and asked it whether it can handle the Covid situation. Earlier, the HC had taken the government to task over deaths of Covid patients due to paucity of oxygen and non-availability of hospital beds.
