Let’s trace the events over the last 6 months.

First, opposition politicians and some media sellouts panned the vaccines, spread doubts and fears about their efficacy baselessly. Some called the vaccines “BJP vaccines”.
Does anybody think that *any* Indian Govt. would be so irresponsible as to just launch any vaccine publicly for use by hundreds of millions of people without due process and due diligence?

Some poisonous editors, compromised journalists and vicious politicians did exactly that.
One Uttar Pradesh leader panned the “BJP vaccines”. Chhattisgarh held back Covaxin usage for 2 months. Hardly any top leaders of Congress or other opposition parties declared they are taking / have taken the vaccine or posted photos to create public confidence in the vaccines.

So approximately 550 million people aged 18-45 years will become eligible for vaccines from May 1.

~91M people have received a single dose. ~16M people have received both doses. hindustantimes.com/india-news/ind…
So over ~600M people will be looking to get vaccine shots (their first or second) from May 1.

Covid19 production capacity -
Serum Institute: 100M/month (some of this would be exported under international commitments)

Bharat Biotech: 12.5M/month
Cumulative vaccine capacity (Serum Institute, Panacea Biotech, Bharat Biotech, Biologicals E, Hester Bio, Zydus: 8.2B / year. That is significant.

But most of this production infrastructure will require tweaking and adaptation to make Covid vaccines.

This is not an accident. India has of late embarked on a deliberate policy of taxing petrol and diesel to incentivize electrification of transport. The nudge to consumers is clear - look for the electric alternatives.

The energy transition is underway.
Maruti, Tata Motors, Mahindra and the high end auto brands all launching electric cars this year business-standard.com/article/automo…

Global automakers from GM to Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover have committed to shift entire product lineup to electric only.
Internal combustion engine vehicle share projected to decline from ~86% in 2020 to less than 20% over the next 15 years.

“Nehru was a great democrat.”

“Didn’t he install his daughter as Congress party president, also dismiss the elected state government of Kerala in 1959 by abusing Article 356?”
“Nehru was a liberal.”

“Why did he reform personal laws only for Hindus in 1955, leaving India’s Muslims in the hands of religious conservatives?” livemint.com/Opinion/h953KJ…
“Nehru was for freedom of speech, he loved the arts.”

“Didn’t he kill free speech with the First Amendment, enunciating the reasonable restrictions standard? Didn’t he jail poet Majrooh Sultanpuri who happened to write critically about Nehru’s policies?”
