We claim to depend on evidence of science for decision-making in healthcare. Nevertheless, we rarely stop being injudicious and scientific. The best example lies in our decision to disallow those unvaccinated to enter shopping malls and board planes. Unvaccinated are not criminals. Israel had disallowed Pfizer CEO’s entry into the country for not completing the immunisation. Might be, he knew it was better to mingle with a Covid-19 patient than testing the unsure vaccine on himself. There are many Covid-19 cases among vaccinated people. Still, a large portion of unvaccinated people have been safe from infection. One can, perhaps, buy diseases, but no more wisdom with money.  Can't the fully-vaccinated people have the virus strains with them to infect others? There is no accou...

If we do not change our habits and attitudes, we are in for something disastrous. As we talk about creating more comforts for human life, building wealth and luxuries, we forget the amount of offence we load on our environment. Human life cannot remain on earth if we make the planet unsafe to dwell on.  I know it is hard to digest. Truth is always bitter. It is tasteless. Once you ask me, I will say this is the time we should stop directly addressing human issues. Instead, we must save the planet. If we ruin the planet, we will have no space to live on earth. Our species will vanish, Just a fear, not sure – a hapless soul cannot have better optimism.  Let us compare ourselves with other living things. According to us, the first difference between human beings and...
