A CELEBRITY recently asked in an Instastory why the elderly need not be vaccinated against Covid -19. “Forcing the elderly, even those in wheelchairs (to be vaccinated). Why? They are already old, can’t even travel, so want to vaccinate them to go where? Paris? Milan?” she said (“Actress causes stir by questioning need for vaccination”, The Star, July 16; online at bit.ly/star_stir).

This comment shows some disconnect with the realities on the ground.
