R3volver Rani putting out some really desperate #factcheckbait today. She knows oxygen production won't affect the environment. She is counting on your ridicule and fact check to draw fire away from leaders. Resist. It's blatant baiting counting on your need to call her dumb.
She only stays relevant because of the QTs and screenshots. Cut off that oxygen to her twitter account and see her fade away.
Chances are she is setting it up for an "lol obviously I was kidding...U libs have no sense of humor" type punchline. She's done that before. Just block her.
The more people rush to hit this half volley from her for a six, the closer Malviya gets to his goal of removing substantive criticism trends from indian twitter.
She especially counts on ridicule from liberals so she can say, see, these liberals love to call a woman dumb.
TLDR - this is Sanghna saying to Modi, there there, great leader, you had a bad day yesterday. Let me draw some ridicule away from you towards me as proof of my loyalty.
Oh this too? IT cell is in full distraction mode today. Nothing to gloat about.

Good to see a lot of people telling others not to give in to her #factcheckbait. She's still getting QTs that she wants. But it's a start to spread awareness about how not to play into the traps set by sanghis. Best is to just block and ignore her.
Not having gotten usually high engagement, she's now moved to incitement of violence. Next stage will be picking a public QT fight with a liberal celebrity likely to reciprocate with QT taunts of their own.
Whoa! Nice! Hope it's a permanent ban like with Trump.

I hope @TwitterIndia realizes that there's no coming back from this, like with Trump. You let her back and within hours she'll up the ante. Might as well make the ban permanent.

So after making a few phone calls and sending a few aggrieved emails to people I know close to powers that be about the patent protection thing, here's a gist of the explanation I got. Which is at least a nuanced and thoughtful one, not the least "profiteering" related. ...
Whether you agree or disagree, this is the gist.
This is very much like a choice between a horrible situation and an even more horrible situation. And they're going with the decision, for now, that they think is the less horrible situation. Which is protecting patents.
These mRNA vaccines are a miracle of sorts. Their effectiveness as well as the speed with which they were put out. But that was made possible in large part by a massive behind the scenes effort by the CDC, FDA, Pfizer, Moderna, and the Biden admin's experienced Klain team.

If India had a government which, officially and through its social media arm, wasn't denying the scale of the horror and tragedy, I would feel queasy sharing this video. It'd feel like tragedy porn. With the government mainstreaming denialism and making "positivity" a virtue...
If you have relatives or friends in india still on the modi bandwagon, send this video on all whatsapp groups. It's very difficult to watch. And so transparent. Maybe this will change their minds? At least it'll disturb them somewhat. That's worth the forward.
All over the world, literally the only differentiating factor between what places got badly hit by covid and what places got REALLY badly hit by covid - governments. Progressive/liberal/left governments have minimized the fallout. Right wing ones have messed it up.
WAKE! UP!

Abhishek Asthana continues to pick losing twitter fights. 🤣🤣🤣
Immediately added a couple of paragraphs to my "Mutation of Modi Mavens" draft. Like I said last week, have been invited by an American publication to write a 3000 word piece on the sanghi propaganda machine. Decided to make Abhishek Asthana the main narrative hook for it.
Like my WSJ profile last month, I can't reveal the name of the media outlet this will be appearing in until it actually appears. It's a work in progress with a flexible deadline. Meant to be a longform. Plan to finish it in a couple of weeks.

You'll see when it's out.

People still fighting or debating the efficacy of masks? Kansas ended up conducting a quasi field trial by leaving it up to counties. This CDC report is as crystal clear as it gets. Infections declined in mask counties, doubled in no mask ones.

As I've been tweeting, NYC is still mostly masking up. WITHOUT a mandate. And I hear the same logic from many others as mine - "I don't wear it for me. I'm vaccinated. I wear it to not be a carrier."

Crisis time New Yorkers are bae. Other times too. 😍

NYC officially fully reopens sans capacity restrictions on May 19th. It's been about 75% back to normal in terms of crowds and socializing for a couple of months. But curve declining. Combination of rapid vaccination and uniform mask wearing. Becomes a peer pressure thing too.

Next time I land at an Indian airport and go to the washroom, I'm fully expecting to need an OTP to relieve myself.
Whatsapp university is so starved of things to celebrate under Modi that they are sending random long forwards extolling the technological achievement that is an OTP based system for getting vaccines. A vaccine everyone has to get, they are treating like a bank login. 😑😑
The fascist needs to keep boasting about his leader in newer reverential terms everyday to internally justify being a fascist. It is fundamental to the mindset of the fascist, for fascist governments don't actually do anything good. So the daily praise dose is necessary.
