    It is very strange! Why you don't see the syringe nor the needle while vaccinating our Politicians? Look at Modi's picture few days earlier, and now Yeddy and Dr Sudhakar. I also observed vaccination of several international politicians including Biden, and you can see the jab clearly. Are not these BJPians fooling all of us? All FEKU's? Looks like they are not afraid of anyone but COVID and the vaccine?
