Was Vivek fated to a fatal heart attack anyway, vaccine or no vaccine?ĭoctors who don’t see a link are however evasive and unconvincing, glossing over uncomfortable queries. However, they explained the causes of his death in great technical detail like they normally do in every such case. Health officials and the doctors immediately sought to dismiss any connection between the vaccine and his heart attack. He collapsed the very next morning and was brought unconscious to SIMS hospital. He was roped in for his obvious reputation as an effective and popular communicator. On Thursday, when he took the jab, Vivek in the company of Health Secretary Radhakrishnan and other officials, gave long and strong arguments in favour of the vaccine. All kinds of firm views are being debated by reputed doctors.
Now to the moot point that is at the crux of the debate in Tamil Nadu. It was like uprooting a tree that he had planted.
And now, just a day after his pitch for vaccine, he is gone. He campaigned for the fight against dengue but lost his young son to brain fever. But somehow fate has been cruel to Vivek. Vivek took up the project with great enthusiasm, making it an enduring success, now bound to outlive him. Soon enough Vivek became Kalam's ardent devotee and the latter gave him a lifetime mission: planting saplings on a massive and mass scale. It was this zeal that brought him under the wings of former president Abdul Kalam, who saw in Vivek the spirit that had driven his own life of public service. His choice of words, eloquence without ego, endearing approach and sense of humour all made him the best of the band of good Samaritans, with no offence meant to the latter. He was most sought after by the government, NGOs and the like for mass communication of messages of public interest. While on the reel, he took up issues, from petty to profound, in real life he not only lent voice but also actively several causes. The actor Vivek was the quintessential social campaigner. The sad demise of Vivek is a landmark in Tamil Nadu’s sordid Covid history.
