"India delivered a billion doses even before US, UK, Germany, etc." is the most Gobbelsian WhatsApp propaganda boast I have seen, considering the very well known populations of those countries. Even if 100% Americans got 3 shots, we can't reach a billion.
They ignore China.
They ignore China.
Other normal countries have events commemorating those dead from covid. In India, a country that almost certainly lost more people to the virus than any other, they turn random vaccination statistics into a political campaign.
"Let's celebrate a billion shots!"
"Let's celebrate a billion shots!"
Reminder.
Only 27% of India is fully vaccinated.
But everyone is acting like 72% of India is fully vaccinated. Led by the government.

It's been clear from the start that for Modi, covid isn't as much a public health crisis as it is an image management crisis.
Very much like Trump and Bolsonaro, he is obsessed more with telling people he beat covid than actually beating covid.
