No person can be forced to get vaccinated against COVID-19, India’s Supreme Court said on Monday, while noting that the central government's Covid-19 vaccination policy “cannot be said to be unreasonable or manifestly arbitrary”.

No person can be forced to get vaccinated against COVID-19, India’s Supreme Court said on Monday, while noting that the central government's Covid-19 vaccination policy “cannot be said to be unreasonable or manifestly arbitrary”. The apex court has also asked the Centre to make public data on the possible adverse effects of these immunisations public. The court gave the judgement in a plea filed by Jacob Puliyel, who had sought directions for the disclosure of the data on clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccines and post-jab cases.

Bodily autonomy and integrity are protected under Article 21 of the Constitution, the top court said. "Till numbers are low, we suggest that relevant orders are followed and no restriction is imposed on unvaccinated individuals on access to public areas or recall the same if already not done," the bench added.

<p>New Omicron variants can cause a fresh wave of the Covid pandemic, a study has said. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>A spike in infection rates was witnessed among people, who had Omicron, but weren’t vaccinated, in comparison to their vaccinated counterparts, scientists found while examining the Omicron’s BA.4 and BA.5 sublineages. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The blood samples of 39 people, including 15 who were vaccinated, were also taken by scientists. &nbsp;</p>

<p>In a preprint over the weekend, the scientists wrote, "The vaccinated group showed about a 5-fold higher neutralisation capacity ... and should be better protected." &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, 'Ghost of Kyiv', a Ukrainian fighter pilot, has won several hearts as a modern Red Baron. He has reportedly shot down many rival Russians out of the sky while flying a MiG-29 jet. &nbsp;</p>

<p>But the truth about "Ghost of Kyiv" has been revealed by Ukraine’s Air Force. &nbsp;</p>
