Charity begins at home. Transparency is not achieved by blocking Twitter comments.
Not surprised a US think tank’s footsoldier takes aim at Indian pharma when Covaxin’s phase 3 has been successful on 22,000 volunteers with 4000 more to go. The assignment is to discredit India.
Phase 2 had more data than AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Moderna. Phase 3 so far shows the vaccine is safe. Because it’s under trial, and a bulk of the testing has been done, it’s been recommended for emergency use only. The decisions are based on facts, not a random “trust me”.
Covaxin showed safety, immunogenicity and efficacy in phase 2 data and safety in phase 3, and would be specifically used for emergencies arising from UK mutant strain. The vaccine is safe. It’s based on test results. Now, which part of the word “emergency” is difficult to get?
When the vaccine is known to be one of the safest in the world by a significant margin, where does the issue around transparency arise from? Lobbying on the behalf of American Big Pharma is disgraceful as it is, but pushing half truths and lies is even worse.

@VamseeJuluri Hinduphobia is entrenched in the Abrahamic world, yet, I’d say it’s India’s inability to accept its own Hindu identity wholeheartedly which has resulted in a garbled narrative taken to the world. The strength will only come from within, not in hope for support from foreign media.
@VamseeJuluri It is incumbent upon us to first understand the universalist philosophies that form the basis for our cultural nationhood, which itself is defined by plurality in thought, and then act as ambassadors to the world as agents of change to the prevailing narrative.
@VamseeJuluri How many can explain karma, dharma, the cyclicality of life, time and the transmutation of energy into matter and vice versa, in an eloquent yet concise manner? Can we detail the stages in life, that unabashedly celebrate all aspects of it, yet with the final goal of moksha?
