'I've A Duty...': Siddaramaiah Reacts To Biocon's Kiran, Repeats Claim On Vaccine-Heart Attack Link
Last Updated: Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah questioned Covid-19 vaccine safety, while Biocon's Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw defended it. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday reacted to Biocon founder Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw after she dismissed the former's claim over Covid-19 vaccination and its link to heart attack deaths in Hassan. In a post on X, Siddaramaiah said seeking clarity is not 'misinformation" and called an 'act of governance rooted in empathy". He also shared that an article in the Telegraph, where 'AstraZeneca admitted side effects of vaccine," and said that several studies and even admissions by manufacturers have acknowledged rare but serious adverse events, including cardiac issues. As Chief Minister, I have a duty to respond to the genuine concerns of people who have lost loved ones unexpectedly. When parents lose their young children or families lose breadwinners without warning, seeking clarity is not misinformation; it is an act of governance rooted in… — Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) July 3, 2025 Siddaramaiah's concerns have also been dismissed by several top health experts in the country. The Biocon founder objected to Siddaramaiah's claim that Covid-19 vaccines were 'hastily" approved and said rigorous protocols aligned with global standards for safety and efficacy were followed. 'COVID-19 vaccines developed in India were approved under the Emergency Use Authorisation framework, following rigorous protocols aligned with global standards for safety and efficacy. To suggest that these vaccines were 'hastily' approved is factually incorrect and contributes to public misinformation. These vaccines have saved millions of lives and, like all vaccines, may cause side effects in a very small number of individuals. It is important to acknowledge the science and data-driven processes behind their development, rather than engage in retrospective blame," she wrote in a post on X. Meanwhile, NITI Aayog Member (Health) Dr VK Paul said that factors such as a family history of heart disease, severe COVID-19 illness requiring hospitalisation, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption could increase heart risk — and cautioned against believing in unfounded theories. He said Covid vaccines were tested after systematic laboratory studies, animal toxicity studies and clinical studies and they fulfill scientific and all regulatory and benchmark criteria. 'The notion of sudden deaths linked to the vaccines has been making rounds and to address it systematically, a study was commissioned by the ICMR… published in 2023 and conducted in 47 hospital sites… More than 700 young individuals who suffered sudden deaths were included… What emerged was that Covid vaccine was actually protective against sudden deaths, decreasing its risk… What was responsible for sudden death was – if the individual had a genetic tendency due to family history of heart ailments, if one had suffered more severe Covid-19 illness that required hospitalisation, smoking, and those who had consumed excess alcohol… Let's not be prey to unfounded notions," he said.

SC sub-caste census faces resistance in Bengaluru, BJP threatens stir
A door-to-door campaign to determine the SC population across the 101 sub-castes has met with resistance in parts of Bengaluru and other urban centres in Karnataka with enumerators facing physical threats and non-cooperation from residents. The BJP and sections of residents have also complained that the officials are pasting stickers on the walls of their homes indicating completion of survey without ever talking to them. There are also suspicions some SC families may not have revealed their true sub-caste fearing consequences. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, however, has said they are free to use the QR code or disclose their sub-castes online. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Treatment That Might Help You Against Knee Pain Knee pain | search ads Find Now Undo Social Welfare Minister HC Mahadevappa and Food Minister KH Muniyappa, representing the SC communities, raised the subject at the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday and complained to the CM about the non-cooperation from people in Bengaluru. The CM had in May kicked off the SC census to determine the population across the SC sub-castes and to assess their economic, educational and social backwardness as a precursor to introducing an internal quota. A commission headed by Justice HN Nagamohan Das has been manded to prepare the empirical data and end confusion over overlapping of communities in Adi Karnataka, Adi Andhra and Adi Dravida across the SC-Left (Madiga) and SC-Right (Holeya). Live Events The BJP on Thursday threatened to launch a state-wide agitation on August 1 if the government does not come up with an internal reservation policy by then. Former Dy CM Govind Karjol (BJP) said the Basavaraj Bommai government had introduced an internal quota according to the population of sub-castes. Madigas (SC-Left) have been demanding a separate quota within the SC bloc. While demanding the implementation of Bommai era policy, Karjol said the present exercise seemed like a conspiracy to create confusion and upend the internal quota system. A rational internal quota has been the long pending demand of the most-backward groups in the SC community, who feel left behind in getting opportunities in professional courses and in government jobs. Siddaramaiah's initiative on taking up an SC census follows the Congress-ruled Telangana's successful implementation of an internal quota for SCs, dividing them into three broad groups. The Supreme Court had, in August 2024, ruled that states could provide internal reservation within SCs, STs and socially and educationally backward classes to remove inequalities.
