1st May onwards everyone above 18 is eligible for a vaccine. That's 90 crore Indians. The question being, how are the states going to make sure everyone gets the šŸ’‰ without overcrowding?
Some šŸ’­ here (1/n)
1. The first priority has to be making both the doses reach the vulnerable 30 crore people. They are the ones getting critical and need hospitalization. A vaccine may not give you "God mode" against the virus. But it reduces chances of hospitalization.
2. The Govt has our data and none of us are travelling. Can the government decide ward wise / district wise dates and timing to prevent another vaccine shortage? We don't want crowd outside hospitals do we? It can be a superspreader.
3. Use celebrities to reduce vaccine hesitancy. Get the procedures in order so that the people who take a vaccine feel safe and are actually safe. We have to fight not just #covid but #misinformation as well4
4. Stop the blame game please! The states who are constantly taking credit for anything good, and shifting the blame for anything bad - we are watching you. The centre - if you lie about šŸ’‰ availability - we are watching you!

I think I need to remind everyone about vaccination because I have seen so many careless tweets on it in the past few days

Read this šŸ§µ to get some perspective.
We made a video on the vaccine shortage in India. Here is the link. Please watch it.

We made a resource list for the articles we read. This does not include anything about Sputnik - V since it was approved on our edit day. We have arranged the links topic wise. Please do check it out.

Blockchain is not equal to #cryptocurrency. But both technologies depend on each other. Feed on each other. Without the incentive of being paid in a decentralized cryptocurrency, there cannot be a blockchain. It will be just another centralized mechanism.
Blockchain needs resources: giant computers eating up a lot of power that act as extremely honest accountants. They are devotees of the work they are assigned to do and not of the company that owns them. Their work is their religion and crypto is their prasaad. (reward)
If blockchains operate on government sponsorships then we create another centralized mechanism - prone to hacking and prone to corruption. Like copying your homework from your notebook to a computer. Human errors are most likely.

I am an honest taxpayer. It is my taxes that make subsidies for farmers possible. And yes, there are HEAVY subsidies given to farmers. So, if anyone ignorant fool comes and says I don't care or contribute for them, then buzz off. You have no right.
I will make a detailed video showing these numbers. But don't you dare assume that I sit around with no concern for the country. So sick of the justification for the violence. Excuse me? The taxes I honestly pay to develop the country helps people earn TAX-FREE income
And yes, I don't burn the Capital because some people earn tax-free income and I don't. I work harder at my craft and pay more tax because I am responsible. Because I can see that welfare economics doesn't work if there is nobody to fund that welfare.

Lastly, it is a huge shame @narendramodi @nstomar, the inability to take stakeholders along messed it up. The way the laws have been handled, their hurried passage in Rajya Sabha with voice vote was despicable. This conduct alienated people and pushed them towards misinformation.
I only hope the smarter thing to do @nstomar @PiyushGoyal is to invest more in Krishi Vigyaan Kendras, strengthen agri education in India, and find a way to implement the good sections of the law in a few States as an example. We urgently need water management in farming.
Rather than excess budgetary support to MSP procurement, I hope when the FM says its a revolutionary budget, they focus on what needs to be fixed in Agriculture. The supply side. The farms, the broken soil, the depleted groundwater. Because those changes will truly revolutionize
