Covid-19 severely infected over 7,000 vaccinated people in #Kerala’s Pathanamthitta district, a six-member central team learnt during its recent visit to the state
While research and anecdotal evidence during the second wave have indicated there have been breakthrough infections and variants, especially Delta, overcame vaccine-induced immunity, the recorded data of such a high figure is a cause for concern.
Collector of Pathanmthitta Divya S Iyer confirmed to ET that atleast “5042 people turned positive after two doses of vaccines of which 258 turned positive after completing two weeks after two doses”.
As many as 14974 turned positive after first dose alone. Of these, 4490 turned positive after two weeks, she added.
“We need more details to assess if this is a case of vaccine failure or whether there is any other element at work."

After getting very heavy rainfall at Valparai & Nirar, Tamil Nadu Sholayar crossed its full capacity and started spilling through masonry spillway to Kerala #Monsoon2021

We are in close coordination with TN authorities and the situation is monitored closely.
Rather than using numbers as a critical tool to inform policymaking, Modi and his ruling Bharatiya Janata party treat data as an important input for a political narrative about Modi leading India to its rightful place in the pantheon of world powers.
Inconvenient figures that may undermine these claims are either twisted, or buried.
The BJP’s creative use of numbers has made a bad situation worse.
