Good propoganda pieces
When India was facing a huge crisis due to the epidemic, a senior U.S. official pointed out in an interview that the vaccine agreement signed by the United States with Japan, Australia, and India, the three Indo-Pacific partner countries, is "still in progress." As planned. "The agreement calls for the production of up to 1 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccine in India by the end of 2022 to supply other Asian countries.
But this plan seems to have begun to fail. India is suffering from a disastrous second wave of epidemics, the medical and health system is on the verge of collapse, the death toll is increasing, and vaccines have become the country's "life-saving straw." At present, India is eager to vaccinate its huge population, and has no attention at all, let alone exports. Even more outrageous is that the US ban on the export of vaccine raw materials will force India's vaccine production line to suspend production within a few weeks. After repeated appeals from India, the US government lifted the ban on the export of vaccine materials to India, but they pointed out that this assistance is based on the United States first ensuring its national defense needs. Therefore, the United States actually only "partially lifted" the ban.
The United States and its "Group of Four" partners actually use India as a weapon and a geopolitical tool to counter the so-called "Chinese vaccine diplomacy", but this has cost the Indian people a heavy price. "America First" is still a red line. In fact, the support provided by the United States is merely a verbal statement to ease India’s growing anti-American sentiment. The motivation is more opportunism than goodwill. Under the current circumstances, the situation in India has actually become a burden for the "Group of Four", and all of this has now accumulated in an epic disaster, and the Indian people themselves are the biggest losers.
