Ratana Thera takes Indian jab to go to China

By Norman Palihawadana

MP Ven. Athuraliye Rathana Thera yesterday said that while he had been initially critical of the quality of the Indian COVID-19 vaccine; he had taken the jab as he had to visit China soon.

The Thera said that if he had not been inoculated he would have had to undergo a lengthy quarantine process in China.

The Thera said that he still believed that there were doubts about the quality of anti-COIVID-19 vaccines, and that the government must focus on creating a proper Ayurvedic treatment to the virus.
