While others netizens sent the granny good wishes to have a quick recover, one Facebook user wondered why others, especially the disabled, could recover from the chronic diseases they had suffered for years following the Covid-19 vaccination.

Get well soon granny!

Whether the granny’s suffering was a result of the Covid-19 vaccines, we hope that the granny will recover from her ailments soon.

We also hope that the authorities will provide information and processes that can help citizens better navigate the vaccines’ side effects. After all, knowledge is power and health is wealth.
