[अत्यंत महत्वाचे] लसीच्यां गैरकायदेशीर नियमांबाबत महाराष्ट्र सरकारला केंद्र शासनाची पुन्हा एकदा चपराक.

•  कोणताही सरकारी अधिकारी नागरिकांना लस घेतल्याचे प्रमाणपत्र दाखविण्याची सक्ती करू शकत नाहीं . लसीकरण स्वैच्छिक आहे. लस घेणाऱ्यांना लसीचे दुष्परिणाम सांगणे सर्व अधिकाऱ्यांना बंधकारक.
• केंद्र शासना तर्फे सर्वोच्च न्यायालयात पुन्हा एकदा शपथपत्रावर पुनरुच्चार.
• दोषी अंधीकाऱ्यांविरुद्ध आपत्ती निवारण कायदा च्या कलम   51 (b) व 55 तसेच भादवि चे कलम 52, 166, 188, 341, 342, 220 अंतर्गत कारवाई करण्यासाठी इंडियन बार असोसिएशन व इतर संघटनांचा पुढाकार.

नवी दिल्ली :-  दि. 13 जानेवारी 2022 रोजी केन्द्र शासनाने सर्वोच्च न्यायालयात दाखल शपथपत्रा मध्ये पुन्हा एकदा हे स्पष्ट केले आहे कि कोणत्याही व्यक्तीस त्याच्या इच्छेविरुद्ध लस देता येणार नाही व लस घेण्याकरीता कोणत्याही प्रकारची सक्ती करता येणार नाहीं. तसेच लसीचे प्रमाणपत्र दाखविण्यासाठी कोणताही अधिकारी दबाव आणू शकत नाहीं .

केन्द्र शासनाने असेही स्पष्ट केले आहे की लसीकरण केन्द्रावर किंवा खाजगीत लस देण्याआधी प्रत्येक व्यक्तीस लसींचे जीवघेणे व इतर दुष्परीणाम समजावून सांगणे बंधनकारक आहे.

लसीच्या दुष्परिणामांमुळे मृत्यू होणाऱ्यांचे प्रमाण वाढले असून आत्तापर्यंत 11 हजारापेक्षा जास्त लोकांचे मृत्यू लसीच्या दुष्परिणामांमुळे झाल्याचे पुरावे प्राप्त झाले आहेत.
