India, Indians and @narendramodi have now become objects of ridicule world wide. The world is worried about the possibility of a mutated strain of Corona emerging from India and has thus closed its gates to all Indians.

2/6 It will be a long time before we are able to travel to any country.
A failed vaccine program, announced with much fanfare as #TikaUtsav with no stocks or no thought as to how it will be rolled out, has created an international situation.

3/6 A strain detected in UK, called the B.1617 has been classified by WHO as a 'strain of concern'. What this means in layman terms is that this strain may bypass the defenses created by the vaccines that are being currently administered.

A thread on the allocation of vaccines across Indian States. Some argue that the existing allocation of #vaccines is fine, that the new system of States being free to buy vaccines directly would be equally fine, and that there is nothing to worry. Is is true? Hardly. 1/n
How do we check if the current allocations are equitable? Some compare allocations with population shares. But this would be wrong, as the eligible population is only those >45 years of age (till 30 April). A note from two scholars from AshokaU gives some interesting results. 2/n
They have 2 graphs: allocation/case and allocation/45+ individual. First, vaccine allocation/case is the lowest in Maharashtra, Kerala and Delhi (<5/case), and highest in Gujarat and Rajasthan (>29/case). M, K & D are States badly affected by rising cases. Why the disparity? 3/n 
#India #Coronavirus #vaccination drive.
A week after the much-vaunted #TikaUtsav, how is India's vaccination drive going?
The answer is in a word, "badly".
@MoHFW may claim that "India has crossed a Landmark Milestone with > 13 Crore doses given" but the reality is different.

A Press release from @MoHFW and @PIB_India presented the facts in a most misleading and propagandist manner. See pib.gov.in/PressReleasePa…
The Lancet Commission on Covid19, called for at least 5 million doses per day. See: static1.squarespace.com/static/5ef3652…
