THE Central Government has done well to prove through official statistics that very small percentages of persons have contacted coronavirus after they have been vaccinated with first or second doses. These details should remove the fears some elements were trying to fan up in the society about the ineffectiveness of vaccination. It was only unfortunate that some elements were indulging a false propaganda that disturbing numbers of persons were contracting coronavirus after their vaccination. The official statistics now prove all that propaganda wrong. The Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) has taken pains to gather all the data to prove that much less than half a percent of persons got infected with coronavirus even after vaccination. The ICMR is trying to identify the causes of infection in those cases, but asserts that it is wrong to generalise that people fall ill with coronavirus even after vaccination. This also explains why the larger society should not fall prey to propaganda that various elements may indulge in for their own reasons. This is the time when all negativism should be shunned with resolve. The ICMR has led the way.
 
THE COLLAPSE
 
THE newly formed football Super League formed by 12 clubs, mostly owned or managed by American interests, has collapsed prematurely after as many as 10 of the outfits withdrew from the venture. Though the new initiative was billed as an attempt to save world football from its existing flaws, most clubs seem to have come around to realise that they would be harming their overall interests if they continued in Super League. The new venture, thus, has been left with only a couple of clubs for a closed tournament structure. Naturally, the people who led the initiative may decide to fold it up sooner than later. No matter these details, it is obvious that many football clubs around the world had often felt that the existing flaws in the global infrastructure were actually stalling the game’s progress on organisational front. Perhaps, after the collapse of the Super League experiment, some clubs may still come together to launch joint efforts to rectify the flaws so that the game’s international tournament structure becomes more accommodative and smooth in its operations. To that extent, the Super League may be called to have served at least a part of the purpose of cleansing the world’s most popular game’s systems.
