Something mildly revealing about capitalism in #NewIndia when a vaccine-maker has to pay to “promote” himself during a pandemic—and then pump out saccharine tweets that would leave even diabetic horses squirming. @adarpoonawalla 
7.5 crore Indians were pushed back into poverty in 2020, earning less than Rs 145 per day. Meanwhile, the stupefyingly publicity-starved @adarpoonawalla has “agreed to rent” a mansion in London for Rs 50 lakh per week—roughly the daily income of 34,500 people. @pewresearch
One nation, one vaccine price? @adarpoonawalla
@adarpoonawalla was making a profit on Covishield even at Rs 150 per dose. He wanted Rs 1,000 per dose. Now, at Rs 600 per dose, @IndianExpress reports it is still the highest rate in the world. No wonder he can “agree to rent” a mansion in London for Rs 50 lakh per week.
