SC raising important questions on GoIs vaccine policy. Justice Chandrachud asks why can’t you follow national immunisation policy where procurement is centralised but distribution decentralised #Vaccines@CNBCTV18Live 1/4
Justice Chandrachud: whether procurement of vaccines is done by Centre or States it is for citizens, why two prices? #Vaccines@CNBCTV18Live 2/4
Justice Chandrachud: Centre says states can procure 50 percent of vaccine makers capacity. How will vaccine makers ensure equity. Will one state get priority access over another #Vaccines@CNBCTV18Live
Justice Chandrachud: has centre considered invoking patents act and issue compulsory licences so drugs can be manufactured while royalty is sorted #Vaccines@CNBCTV18Live

@Parikshitl@CNBCTV18Live Here is what Prof Nicholls said ‘studies which we have completed & been submitted for publication shows that the virus is actually very stable at 4 degrees Celsius but once you get to 35 degrees Celsius this virus goes down for 1 to 2 days 1/4
Prof Nicholls ‘got clear lab evidence that this virus is heat sensitive. Seeing how there has been a very low instance of community transmission in areas where it has been very warm, in places like say Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines & probably in parts of Africa and India 2/4
Prof Nicholls ‘think the evidence is probably that what we can hope for is that the virus will not survive in a very warm environment. However I do understand that this has now been put as number one myth by the WHO and WHO says that it is a false hope 3/4
