    The Myth of American Exceptionalism

    Data is the king. It bypasses biasis in analysis. Otherwise, we'll be locked in subjective counterarguments. Besides, there is always wisdom in numbers.

    The Myth of American Exceptionalism

    The only reason why very few Indians compared to its entire population migrate to the US and the West in general is that most will not qualify or cannot afford the migration process (or the US and West will not allow such wholesale migration). Most Indians if given a free chance to migrate will...

    The Myth of American Exceptionalism

    That Indian (actually I would say some Indians not most) obsession with Russia and US bashing is not based on rational thinking.

    The Myth of American Exceptionalism

    With more and more Russians migrating to the US both legally and illegally, some are even passing through Mexico border, it does seem that paying American taxes is much better than staying in Russia. :bplease:

    The Myth of American Exceptionalism

    In the US anyone can set up, run and make millions if not billions in media. Some of them are so crazy and conspiratorial that it's a wonder how they even exist in the first place. But that is their freedom of expression which they hold so dear. So the US has all sorts of media companies and...

    The Myth of American Exceptionalism

    So you're saying that those public health officials quoted by CNN were lying? So this touchiness about vaccine shortage is about Indian politics! :creepy: How about this report of vaccine shortage from Times of India, is the Times of India too in league with CNN, Pfizer and Moderna? :bplease:

    The Myth of American Exceptionalism

    CNN did not made this report up. The shortage was reported by local Indian state health officials quoted in that report: And then this shortage was widely reported by all other media companies. Even Indian media has alluded to vaccine shortages...

    The Myth of American Exceptionalism

    No. You brought out alleged CNN scare mongering on vaccine shortage due to then raging second wave in India. I replied there was nothing unfair about that article since its true that Indian second wave did indeed cause a vaccine shortage since (like the US), India has to priorotize its own...

    The Myth of American Exceptionalism

    I don't know where you're getting your gripes in that CNN article. The article was merely saying that the Indian second wave is bad and it's causing vaccine shortage for Covax due to the need of India to prioritize its own needs. All true. I don't see any marketing gimmick here for the US...

    The Myth of American Exceptionalism

    That's right. There's no debate here mate. The US vaccine exports restrictions were enacted shortly after the assumption of Biden to the Presidency and prior to the outbreak of Delta. It was enacted by Biden to preempt any criticism from Republicans that Democrats do not prioritize America (a...

    The Myth of American Exceptionalism

    What you do not consider is that the unforeseen massive Delta wave in India meant that all of a sudden India needs vast amounts of vaccines fast on top of the vaccines it has already contracted for Covax. When India SII all of a sudden ordered more vaccine raw materials the US could not supply...

    The Myth of American Exceptionalism

    The vaccine shortage due to curtailment of exports by India (to prioritize its own vaccine needs) during that time was very true as far as the Philippines was concerned. Previously ordered AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccines from India were not delivered as scheduled. I know that. Due to India...

    The Myth of American Exceptionalism

    Oh well, I have a hard time believing that mainstream media companies will knowingly coordinate and participate in marketing campaign for private companies like Pfizer.

    The Myth of American Exceptionalism

    I don't think mainstream media companies (Bloomberg, CNBC, CNN, BBC, ABC, NBC, Reuters, AP, etc.) will willingly curry favor for private companies like Pfizer to the detriment of their reputation. I do not get my information outside of reputable sources. I certainly do not get it from Facebook...

    Be more specific. Who was creating a wrong impression of vaccine shortage in India? And why is this claim wrong or unfair?

    The Myth of American Exceptionalism

    Don't be thin skinned. Free media is a requirement for an enduring democracy. Notice how American media (left, right or everywhere leaning) criticize everyday all parts of American society from its leaders, celebrities, businessmen, military, civil service, NGOs, etc. It's good if you don't hide...
