New Delhi: Bollywood actress Pooja Bedi has created a stir in Twitter among netizens after she shared a tweet on the COVID-19 vaccination and questioned why there is pressure to get vaccinated and called it 'illogical' and 'sinister'.

In the tweet, Pooja wrote, "If 99% survive covid with or without the vaccine.. the govt needs to focus on isolating, vaccinating & masking THOSE who have COMBORBITIES & are in the risk bracket.  NOT VACCINATE the whole world! & certainly not discriminate against unvaccinated! It's illogical & Sinister!"

Many netizens were unhappy with her tweet and disagreed with her statement and accused her of being against 'science'.

How can a "Universal Pass" for two jabs be valid when they can get covid & spread covid just like unvaccinated?
& especially since they now say that 2 jabs aren't adequate (antibodies disappear) & booster shots needed..how is it ANY guarantee? It's a bottomless pit of vaccines! — Pooja Bedi (@poojabeditweets) August 26, 2021

@pbhushan1 we are just being subjected to illogical whims and decisions of law makers/ people in power. The loss of lives/ education to kids/ income& opportunity of the vast majority of the country due to covid protocols & restrictions is unequatable to the 1% covid Death rate. — Pooja Bedi (@poojabeditweets) August 26, 2021

While one netizen wrote, "How much research have you done on this topic before posting it. It’s so insane. Even the virus is mutating to survive and so we are. Drastic drop in severe cases and mortality, UK is the example", another said, "Please stop this anti vaccine campaign. Its sheer silly. Forget companies, no one unvaccinated is welcome to my home too. And, trust me, many homes."

This looks like a tweet by an #AntiVaxxer . Science tells us that #COVIDVaccination provides good protection to the #vaccinated . At a workplace, people work together. It is, therefore, important that everyone in the organisation is well protected.#Covid_19 #GetVaccinatedNow — PrriyaRaj//Get Vaccinated// (@PrriyaRaj) August 22, 2021

Are you an expert in pandemic management and vaccines? Let the medical fraternity decide, you are an actress and you have not done anything significant in your field for a long time..
