Who should take Covaxin?

Nobody.

It hasn't finished all clinical trials and there is no efficacy data for it. The company making it says this data will only be available in March.

This is not how science and medicine are done.
The government has kept lying to citizens.

First they approved a vaccine that had not finished all required trials.

Then they said it was for "emergency clinical trial" mode only.

Then they approved it for all citizens.

Then they didn't give us a choice of vaccine to take.
This is already unethical and wrong, but to add to it, Bharat Biotech's methods of signing up people for trials have been questionable.

All this is an ethical quagmire where the safety of citizens has been sacrificed for political optics.

If Bharat Biotech's Covaxin is still in "trial" mode, why has the Indian government ordered 5.5 million doses?

Why are Indian citizens being made helpless guinea pigs without a choice of vaccine? And ironically, the health workers being the first.

OK, it's definitely a problem with ACT but the way they responded to this tweet was hilarious.

1) Somebody calls to check if I'm home because they think this is a network connectivity issue. (It's not.)
2) Next, somebody calls and asks if he can take remote control of my system. Hahaha! No fucking way, I say. (I was more polite.)

3) Then he asks me to change my DNS provider. It's already using NextDNS so that's pointless.
4) Then we try to work out the issues by first using NSLOOKUP and then TRACERT, both of which work.

At this point, I ask him if it's working on *his* end because lots of people using ACT can't load squarespace.com either. And it's a very popular web hosting company.

Kotak Bank has a "new" Netbanking interface they want me to try.

But it does not support password managers or pasting passwords.

I won't use it. It's an asinine design decision.

You want people to reuse passwords? GAH!
My passwords look like this: 6&uEsN@7Cspci5^UAR*g
What usually happens when I post something like this is that some member of their "social media team" who does not understand anything about security or UX calls me up, listens to my feedback and tells me "feedback will be passed on to development team". And nothing happens.
And if Kotak Bank makes this design the default interface, I will immediately move my business elsewhere. This kind of thing would just be too painful for me to use. I'm not about to start using a password from elsewhere.
