“DID 🇮🇳 SUPPLY VACCINES TO 🇵🇰 ?” #COVID19 #covid #vaccine
A THREAD:
I didn’t really want to write it, but whenever I get into a debate, 🇮🇳-ans come @ me k “hum ne vaccine provide ki 🇵🇰 ko”. And then they argue baselessly for hrs. I just wanted to highlight it is FALSE!

So it was in the news that India “will be providing Pak vaccines free of cost under COVAX facility” but one can clearly see that those exports were to be done by JUNE 2021

Then less than 2 weeks later, India stops vaccine exports, due to shortage in the country herself however it was resumed later but then again BAN on exports was placed by 1st April to inoculate locally.

So where did Pakistan get vaccines from?
Pak received its most vaccines from China (sinovac, sinopharm, covisheild), Russia (Sputnik) Astrazenca (South Korea)

Whereas The vaccines (for reference) manufactured in India include:
Covisheild and Covaxin, clearly not available in Pakistan.

So Did Pak not receive vaccines from COVAX facility?
Initially under COVAX, Pakistan was supposed to receive vaccines from 🇮🇳 but after its ban, Pak did receive its first 2 batches of ASTRAZENCA via COVAX facility from “SOUTH KOREA”

Why did I make this thread:
Tho I have always had good wishes for India and my morals never allow me to mock anyone. Neither I intend to do so. But I have realised that 🇮🇳 is propagating in its public to again haunt the image of 🇵🇰. Kangana Ranaut, in her tweet did say the same.
It is important to counter that propaganda casting the image that India is responsible for innoculations in Pakistan. I would thus request you to RT this as much and counter it. Any further information will be updated later if necessary.
