We find ourselves in the midst of another lockdown, but things are not quite the same as a year ago. The glimmer of hope is the availability of vaccines. At the moment, two options are available in India: Covaxin and Covishield. Irrespective of which one you take, they are not a fool-proof shield against infection or re-infection. And lately we’ve been seeing many cases of irresponsible post-vaccination behaviour, which noted surgeon Dr Muffazal Lakdawala brought to notice by tweeting, “Heard of more people becoming positive post the first dose of vaccine? It’s because of the #peltzmaneffect. Perception of Safety increases one’s risk taking appetite & a false sense of bravado leads to letting your guard down.”
