Who should take Covaxin?
Nobody.

The government has kept lying to citizens.
First they approved a vaccine that had not finished all required trials.

Then they approved it for all citizens.
Then they didn't give us a choice of vaccine to take.

This is already unethical and wrong, but to add to it, Bharat Biotech's methods of signing up people for trials have been questionable.
