After all this, they deliberately created confusion among d large section of d people of d country that vaccine is not safe & hence is not to be taken. And when d vaccination started from 15 January, only a few people used to come to d vaccine centers

#BloodInAntinationalsHands

Many days some vaccination centers reported only 2-3 vaccinations.
If U look at d long lines 4 vaccines in today, hundreds of ppl above 60 yrs r also seen.

Q: since March, when there were no crowds & vaccine doses were going waste, why did they not get d vaccination done then?

Similarly the HCWs and FLWs now queuing up did not want it January onwards when it had opened up exclusively for them.
The reason are the same fear that these newspapers, politicians etc. had created.

#BloodInAntinationalsHands

Due to this deliberately created fear, & Vaccination Hesitancy several million doses of vaccine were wasted, new orders were delayed, production capacity expansion did not take place & d result is there for all to see

#BloodInAntinationalsHands

Today these same Agitators/Protestors against the Vaccine are getting vaccinated quietly.

Today abusing Govt that Govt didn't order the Vaccine to cater to the entire population
