100% of frontline staff across India has already been vaccinated and this is so different from last year- at least staff can breathe easy while treating those under their care. #PositiveVibes
12 crore vaccines have already been administered across the country. India is fastest to reach 10 crore mark. #PositiveVibes
Indian vaccine companies are ramping up production and Govt is already working on completely immunising 30 crore people by July #PositiveVibes#PositiveTweetsKaroNa
Total recovered patients yesterday stood at 143701- which is more than 50% of total Covid positive cases for the day- #PositiveTweetsKaroNa#PositiveVibes

Also India DID NOT - I repeat - India DID NOT export 9300 MT of Medical Oxygen.
It wud be good if our journalists do some basic homework and learn the diff between Medical Oxygen and Industrial Oxygen- sadly too much to ask from those hell bent on creating sensation- check data
Dear @moneycontrolcom - tell your journalist to learn the diff :
Oxygen is exported in liquid capacity & there are two grades: Medical and others (industrial).
During Apr-Feb 2020-21 in your story- Ind exported 9884 MT of Industrial Oxygen & only 12 MT of Medical Oxygen
India is the ONLY country in the world to open vaccination for everyone above 18. And knowing PM @narendramodi , one can be sure that this move has come after lot of background work!
Ok lot of hate abuse to this tweet- but facts are facts: yes US has opened vaccination for all but has left it to states and evidently not every state has started vaccination for 16+; UK, France, Italy, Germany etc have not yet opened it for 18 plus - UK> nhs.uk/conditions/cor…
So many people are quoting examples of Israel and UAE - both have population less than a crore (10 million)- number that India has been vaccinating in 3-4 days for a month now! - so please: do not compare countries witt population equal to Indian cities, with India!
Shekhar Gupta should be the last person to talk about the need for Govt allowing states to import vaccines - between Dec 20 and Feb 21, your platform, in the name of educating readers, ran a virtual campaign against Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin
From the day 1, ThePrint’s economics graduates turned journalists fanned an opinion against Covaxin to create an impression that indigenous vaccine is being given special favours
Basis half baked information analysed by graduates in humanities turned journalists, a sinister campaign was launched against Covax
Press Club of India has 4,200 journalist members, 900 associate members, few dozen corporate members & a Lutyen zone property at 1, Raisina Road (obviously given at taxpayer’s exp), where they are eligible to subsidised food and subsidised liquor!
Yesterday PCI organised an election for their body; just like @ECISVEEP , they too have an election commission, difference is that their voter list didn’t go beyond 4200 & guess what-all sorts of charges flew, thick n fast, of intimidation and even forged withdrawal of Pallavi G
Note how the self proclaimed paragon of journalism in India- @ThePrintIndia - and its “holier than thou” Founder @ShekharGupta , who routinely cuts the clutter of every choking drain of Indian democracy- albeit in his head- had ONLY this to say theprint.in/india/covid-no… !
In my 4 years of association with Govt - of which 12 months was in official capacity-I have NOT earned a single penny extra (in addition to salary of 12 months);I challenge this bustard or his boss to prove me wrong on my assertion -Im prepared to face any scrutiny fm any agency!
And @rameshnswamy agar apne hi baap ki aulaad hai to mera challenge accept kar ke. Rest ur hero is the most obnoxiously hateful 3rd rate character- who and whose supporters hand out certificates to everyone but cudnt even take care of his own home & u very well know what I mean!
Thirdly @rameshnswamy and yes I worked hard to defeat ur boss in the HC to show him his place and u can check with our AG and all the lawyers involved abt this claim. Despite all his bravado, he had to face defeat in d court that scrutinised that law!
Again asking all the self proclaimed vaccine experts- can giving shots to everyone help solve this problem especially when the surge is clear?Let @MoHFW_INDIA manage this as they have more data than u to figure out what needs to be done now basis what they have done in the past!
DONT forget that we r averaging 3 million vaccinations per day; have already vaccinated 90 million folks until yesterday. Also don’t fall in the hands of lobbies and propagandists about how India is not vaccinating enough/ narrative that gained ground after India helped Paraguay!
And lastly, no country will allow its procedures to be bypassed just because CDC thinks that Pfizer is good- did CDC allow medicines basis ICMR recommendations? Did CDC ever try to look into claims of Ayush helping India avoid COVID in earlier phase?
