Union Minister Pralhad Joshi seeks Siddaramaiah's apology after experts ruled out Covid jab caused heart attacks
Union Consumer Affairs & Renewable Energy Minister
Pralhad Joshi
on Sunday urged chief minister
Siddaramaiah
to apologise to scientists and researchers for 'insulting' them with his comments that Covid-19 vaccines may have caused
heart attack deaths
in Hassan district.
Pralhad's demand came after an expert panel constituted by the state government into heart attack related deaths in Hassan district ruled out any link between the vaccination and heart attacks.
When the pandemic broke out in the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi acted swiftly and released grants. Siddaramaiah too took the shots of the vaccine in India, not overseas, Joshi told the media in Hubballi.

Siddaramaiah's comments suggesting
Covid-19 vaccination
may have caused the recent heart-attack related deaths had triggered a wave of rebuttals from senior doctors,
