If there's one person who's super glad they got vaccinated against the coronavirus it's definitely Ali Gul Pir. The Karachi-based comedian recently tested positive for Covid-19 and only has mild symptoms, all thanks to being vaccinated.

Gul Pir took to Twitter on Wednesday to share the news with his followers. "I've been unwell since a week now," he shared. "I tested positive a few days back so [I'm] taking this time to chill and write. I’m feeling good now, just a mild cough. [I] can’t imagine how I would be feeling if I wasn’t vaccinated."

He urged netizens to get vaccinated in case they haven't done so already. "Please get vaccinated for your own safety and the safety of your family."

The comedian's followers seconded his words, saying how he's "absolutely right about vaccination".

Many wished Gul Pir a speedy recovery who thanked everyone for their concern in return.

The fifth wave of the coronavirus is rapidly intensifying in Pakistan. In Karachi, the positivity rate has doubled in one week alone, crossing the 10 per cent threshold , it emerged on Friday.

The NCOC strongly advises individuals to wear face masks in public places, practice social distancing and get vaccinated amongst other preventative measures in order to safeguard themselves against the coronavirus.

No words to thank and admire the scientists who made coronavirus vaccines so rapidly and saved humanity from doom! The anti-vaccination people are very similar to the religion-obsessed people, who believe in things without any evidence! Stay blessed and healthy Ali Gul Pir!

Truly an unscientific but surely a self-serving statement by AGP. There is absolutely no way to prove scientifically that 'mild symptoms' are 'thanks to jabs'. Impossible. If challenged in court, AGP will eat dirt. Jabbing started in Pakistan on 02-Feb-21. By that time nearly 550K 'Cases' were there. Recovery Rate was 98.97%. AGP or Dawn, can you please take the pain to explain; how? As per your notion, all 550K should have died or hospitalized. Fashionable statements pay good.

@Mian Saheb of Adiala He is someone son, a brother a cousin. The uncaring in Pakistan is sad. He is trying to convey people to be vaccinated and he gets these harsh questions/

Uncaring for others in Pakistan is becoming a sad reality. If empathy & caring is not in you this world is doomed!
