UNB, Dhaka :
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday took a swipe at the critics of the government for its Covid-19 vaccine activities, saying that it is their habit to criticise any work and create doubts among people.
“Unfortunately, we’ve some people here who exhibit a negative attitude to everything. Though people don’t get help from them, they criticise any work adversely, create
doubts, fear and panic among people over it. This is their habits,” she said.
The Prime Minister made the remarks while inaugurating the Covid-19 Vaccination Programme at a city hospital, aiming to end the coronavirus pandemic in the country.
She virtually launched the vaccination drive at Kurmitola General Hospital, joining it from her official residence Ganobhaban. At the inaugural event, five people were vaccinated in the virtual presence of the Prime Minister. Runu Veronica Costa, a senior staff nurse at Kurmitola General Hospital was the first to get the shot in Bangladesh.
Pointing at the critics, Sheikh Hasina said they have been suffering from a disease of ill-feeling they find faults in everything. “I don’t know what’s the treatment and whether any vaccine will be available for it?” she said.
They raise many questions over whether the vaccine will come or not, what it would be its price and what will be its side-effects, she said.
