There is an ongoing clash between US & Europe over vaccines. Some of the news about vaccine efficacy or safety which we read is more about the Vaccine War than any real problem.
Indian vaccine manufacturing surge has displeased both west and the International Pharma lobby
and even China. All are out with knives and then we have no shortage of volunteers who will happily stab India in the back.
Russian vaccine Sputnik was dismissed mockingly by West almost like “What do Russians know about science".
Indian vaccines sent abroad is harming business interests of Pfizer and Moderna. Many "Big people" have invested a lot in pharma companies.
India vaccinating it’s people for Free or just Rs.250 is eliminating potential Billion dollar profits for the Worlds BIG Vaccine Player
There is a suspicion that raw material for making Indian vaccines is coming from USA and some curbs are being put on it to slow down India. Hence India was more keen to push totally indigenous Covaxin. We know who all were paid to abuse and defame Covaxin.
Chattisgarh state which is almost a Tropical Vatican still doesn’t allow Covaxin to be used in the State.
On whose behest is it. Think about naxal attack & Madvi Hidma & then extrapolate. Anyone who knows Chhattisgarh will know who is supplying arms and cash to the Communists.
India manufactures 60% of vaccines made in the world. Asking it to import vaccines is like asking Saudi to buy oil.
Already Novaxin and Sputnik are going to be made in India soon. But it is not like making paper cups. Till then we have to make do with Covaxin and Covishield.
We have two credible proven choices. Pay Rs 250 in a less crowded setting or get it free with a longer queue. Vaccines are perishable items with a shelf life and can only be stocked in limited quantity in special storage facilties. So one have to wait for their turn.
Companies like Pfizer and Moderna refuse to test its safety and efficacy on Indians. They must follow Indian regulations to be able to sell in India.
The cold chain needed for Moderna and Pfizer is not available in India. We can not allow to administer dated or spoiled ..
medication to our people because our skin is brown. The possibility that vaccines discarded in developed world may be pushed to India can not be ruled out.
When such vaccines come to our shores, it will also come with massive misinformation campaign to defame Indian vaccines
Fake news on death and adverse side effects of Indian vaccines will be plenty.
Remember how Coconut oil, groundnuts oil, mustard oil was defamed by an onslaught of fake news & fake study reports to convince Indians to buy all sorts of concocted Seed Oils by the MNC agro companies
So vaccine is now the talking point when few months ago the same ecosystem was mocking Indian vaccines
Bijapur Naxal attack and loss of 22 Bravehearts. Who is responsible ?
2013 when Manmohan Singh was PM, I wrote a series of tweets post VC Shukla killed by Naxals on 25 May 2013 when he was on a yatra in Chhattisgarh and asked 2 questions to the then Prime Minister
The 2 basic questions were
“Mr PM what is 80:20 business model of Congress in Chhattisgarh?”
“The missionaries operating in Chhattisgarh, why he have meetings with Sonia Gandhi?”
