[COVID Vaccine Deaths] Supreme Court to continue hearing a PIL which has stated that vaccines are being administered to public without testing its safety and that adequate data is not being disclosed to the public. 
In November last year, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta had told a bench of Justices L Nageshwar Rao and BR Gavai that any attempt by groups with vested interest which will result in vaccine hesitancy may be avoided.
The plea has been filed through Advocate Prashant Bhushan and seeks disclosure of data related to vaccine trials and restraining coercive action on not taking the vaccine.
