People laughed at me here when I said states should be allowed to buy vaccines. Guess what happened now.

Bad option in my opinion states will be bidding against each other. If India would have bought as a country would have gotten economies of scale. I have seen this in US New York was outbidding all other states.

PUBLISHED ON APR 19, 2021 07:21 PM IST
  • At PM Modi's review meet, India expands vaccinations for everyone above the age of 18

 

  • This is very bad move first it can leave more vulnerable not vaccinated with already shortfall of Vaccines and now with stupidly people rush there will shortage vaccine and leave some of them with only one dose which is very dangerous
  • We don't know the efficiency against new variant and this vaccine might prove nightmare instead of blessing
  • Covaxin  is still not peer reviewed in India  how much time do they need considering vaccine was out in Jan? and Brazil which was begging for vaccine and had situation so bad rejected Covaxin  as felt they didn't meet safety standards, I mean even Chinese on got approved and they have  president as been praising India so much still didn't approve
  • And this Vaccination  if effective also will take months but we need Immediate action now we can't wait for  like couple months to check  we need save lives now  we can loose lot with inaction

Just today news was that NCP leader was caught selling fake Remdesvir. Indian population has forgotten difference between promise and implementation. After all beuecracy and commission  rate is finalised, Maha  Gov will probably not get first dose it purchases before 2022 and most likely delivery will stop after first few doses on lack of payment to manufacturers. I am pretty certain about efficiency and motives of UPA state heads.

Why are Indian states under reporting deaths ? Why not be transparent? Let people about there are lot of deaths and Covid-19 is dangerous.

That's obvious isn't it. To save face and claim that all is well in their state. If your state is putting out high numbers, be happy that atleast they are tracking it properly. 

 

One good thing in yesterday's vaccine announcement was future allocation of vaccines will be based on number of cases and deaths so states underreporting will get less. But even then some states may continue to underreport, very clear that they don't care about their people

Long back a priest told me, most of times there are innocent reasons. Allways look for them before start putting blame.

 

Nothing insidious or sinister in Corona underreporting. Most likely underreporting is down to underdeveloped  facilities which are unable to record corona deaths. Meaning people are not dieing as declared Corona positive in a hospital but they are dieing at home and straight to cremation.

 

A lot of docs have temporarily shut their shops. Infact 70-80% of them.  Situation is scary.

^ There is a fear among elderly about vaccine and its rightly so. I was looking at covaxin side effects and it has one sentence that vaccine should not be given to people with poor immunity. wtf is that. how do people know what is poor immunity. I have 4 close family members on covaxin whom I coaxed to get and one isnt feeling so good. I am feeling pretty guilty and scared about whole stuff.

A bit old article from last year but worth a read. And yeah please dont go by name of "The Wire" and start developing prejudiced opinion. Thoroughly explained reason of undercounting medically & obvious the other reasons are political. If you are not aware about Causes of death, terminologies like confirmed deaths due to Covid, Suspected deaths due to Covid, then this article can serve you that information.

That phase 3 results from them but I don't think they have got it  peer reviewed yet (or review isn't public domain) . Have they got approval from any country?. I mean brazil is like India politically if not worse and they president is appreciative of India and they desperately needed Vaccine and still Covaxin didn't get approved 

 

Do I want this Covaxin to succeed, yes I want, It would awesome if India can't vaccine it which is 81%, but lack information they providing just infuriating they are treating as if we are dumb who just go on  who have believe what they  say

I completely believe the poor husband, his wife looked like an abnoxious  gundi woman . If she dares to behave like this with police , can only imagine how she behaves with others.
