Bang on. This was a well thought out and calibrated move to destroy the opposition.Read this statement carefully , Basically what govt is trying to do is calling the bluff of state governments who were running hit jobs by their favourite snake coupta saying let people take vaccine they want let give state powers to import let people who want to pay for it pay all these empty rants balloon is going to be burst big time now .
1. States are given freedom to decide what vaccine they want to use
(calling of bluff of states who said they will import Moderna and Pfizer now go get what you want )
2. vaccine manufacturers will supply 50 % to states at the pricing on free market basis
(calling bluff of states saying we will pay for vaccine you give us direct buying option , states which couldn't provide oxygen and remdisivir is going to get you vaccine now at lesser rate . Vasoli bhai vasoli full Paisa hi Paisa hai)
3. States can procure additional vaccine if they felt current allocation is not enough
(calling bluff of evil Modi not giving enough vaccine at all to us we have just few hours of vaccine half centre are empty now its state govt to prove how much they want and how many they will get and give )
4. Last but the most important point , People who still want to take it free can opt for the vaccination drive done by central govt
(Last but big bluff that we are ready to spend money to save our state people we will see now how much pain state govt takes to cough up from their exchequer to buy vaccines or will they still continue with central govt vaccination drive .
Last but not least this will also call bluff of citizens who are doing R**ni Rona above 18 years online saying Govt is not giving us vaccine why only restrict for 45 years above we are dying we want to party we want to holiday we want to freak around in malls . We will see finally how many come forward and take the vaccine , If my experience of understand wokes are not wrong you won't even find more than 10-15 % taking vaccine .
Generation which cant even wear mask for 20 minutes is now going to come out and take vaccine

A lot of people don't realise that it's upto the states to decide if they wish to vaccinate 18 and above. Most will not be in a position to do so.
Earlier, the central government had taken up all the load to provide vaccines, which was a dumb move. Now, that's corrected and the onus shifts to the states - a lot of which are inept.
Another key factor is that earlier there was little incentive for manufacturers to ramp up production because there was a single buyer who controlled the price. Now, there is proper market where they can sell to the highest bidder.
Finally, the allotment of the central quota of vaccines will be performance linked with wastage being a factor.
