Bhagwaanji,

If Aadar is saying Govt is ready to spend 80,000 Crores on vaccination for covid.

Try to understand what he wants to say.

He is in direct connection with Astrazenca which is conducting trials of vaccine and it might be possible that Preliminary findings of Oxford Vaccine is heading very near to completion (i.e. number of persons getting infection in the double blind trial is nearing the targeted numbers).

Hence this fellow is pushing the govt and wants to commit govt on assured numbers of quantity which govt can purchase.

India has population of roughly 135.00 Crores and 2 vials will be required for every person hence 270.00 Crore vials are required in India.

And he is saying 80,000 Crores is needed for 270.00 Crore vials which basically boils down to roughly Rs.270/- per vaccine vial, which he wants to sell the Govt. i.e. He has declared his price for the vaccine, what he minimum wants.

He has sensed business opportunity in this scenario.

He is putting pressure to make commitment for the vaccines.

See the catch, If Govt commits for say desired quantity then he will get the BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY FOR TURNOVER FOR 80,000 CRORE IN "ONE YEAR ONLY".

Catch here is :

If say Govt here commits say 1/4 of the desired quantity, this Aadar Guy will become free to sell the VACCINE AT MUCH HIGHER PRICES IN THE OPEN MARKET.

And he will also be free to export the VACCINES OUT OF INDIA AT HIS DESIRED PRICE, which Govt. dont commit for.

BC yah aadmi MAD se panga kayoun le raha hai.

When the Vaccine comes. MAD In a single move outright might regulate how much he can export and cap the cost of the Vaccine, weather purchased by Govt or sold in open market in India.
SII already has contract with Bill Gates foundation worth $2.5 Billion. He is simply trying to milk the situation to extract as much money from Govt as he can.
People pointed to him about this and told him what the Govt is actually capable of doing with his Institute, he came back to his senses.

Bill Gates Foundation is sham organization on bigger level. Their Seeds and organic farming division in just like Monsanto, creating poor quality generic seeds of popular crops and making farmers dependent on them for supply.
Just see despite being saying they donated as high as $35-40 billion of his net worth, he still increased his worth over $100 Billion. Bas Ch****a kaat rahe hain duniya ka.

Hiring rate and female workforce participation have increased in India, according to a 'Labour Market Update' put out by online professional network LinkedIn. Hiring picked up by 25 percentage points by end of July as compared to June, it said.
That's some possible good news on the labour market. Although LinkedIn probably only covers urban areas and certain fields like IT and Business.

Females are preferred world wide for factory jobs that don't require strength, like electronics assembly or sewing clothes for example.
I think the reason is females don't have aggression in them naturally, so no risk of strike and union powered factory riots bs.

The vaccine isn’t the property of Serum Institute of India. They are just the producers. As far as I know, the Gates foundation gave an $150 million grant which was used to offset SII’s own risk in starting production before the vaccine was approved fully. The Gates grant is connected to SII offering at low price, a certain amount of vaccines to other developing countries.

It still costs money to make the vaccines and except for highly urbanised sections of India, where exactly is the refrigation capacity to store so many vaccines as would be required if a pan India vaccination program was put in place. The figure is not off the mark. An all India vaccination of every person will cost quite a bit, I see no major disagreement with the costs mentioned. In any case, the government is only likely to fully subsidise for the elderly and the health workers. Everyone else would likely have to pay some amount. This is discounting the costs of the refrigation capacity required.

Twitter brings with it the problem of “super experts”. Complulsory licensing would not apply in this case because AstraZeneca is not charging any premium (in India) and is allowing sale at cost. The cost still needs to be borne. SII cannot by itself charge more, AZ allowing the license is connected to it being sold at almost cost of production.




SII had set a ceiling price of $3 (approximately Rs 225) per dose.

Yo bois, good news :
I am seeing it in context with his recent unveil of cheaper Tesla batteries which he claimed can allow cheaper tesla cars, could get traction in places like Delhi, Mumbai + may push other car companies in India to move electric. Good thing overall.
