"Let's not play Doctor-Doctor at home. Follow only your physician or any reputed doctor. Don't just follow anything floating on watsapp. Sieve thru it. confirm, reconfirm. There r all kinds of rumours being floated by pharma companies for their own vested interest," Suman tweeted on Thursday.

He also urged people to encourage all to take vaccine and stop stepping out.

Earlier this week, Shekhar Suman tweeted to encourage netizens to help others via social media platforms. He wrote: "The way ppl are helping each other through social media platforms just shows that humanity is still alive and throbbing. People have given their own hospital beds and oxygen cylinders to others who are more needy. The stories are bringing tears in everyone's eyes."
