US is just looking to their own interests.. Something our India's cow govt. should have done too, instead of exporting/donating thousands of vials away for gobar points.
Now every single of the hospitals I know people in are running critically low. In my dad's less than 1/3rd the number are coming in everyday.
Drivel is based on hindsight bitching when every so called freelancer epidemiologist in India was not able to predict the timing and gravity of the second wave.
Heck no nation was able to predict second wave with all their scientific models and so called AI softwares in place. The most successful countries have been those who did target or comprehensive lock downs and then placed strict quarantine on all entry points.
Can you do the same in India? Ghanta, Just read through horror stories how Officers, nurses and doctors were chased by violent mobs of Jahil Abduls. Same way other communities went about business as usual and how state governments criminally stopped worrying about set protocols and became negligent to their duty of care. For just 5000 or little more rupees corrupt thugs presided by Shiv Sena and NCP let people go home who were suppose to stay in quarantine facilities. Same was probaly done on other ports. The Horror stories are endless.
Coming back to that popular Librandu rant of giving vaccination to foreign countries which I have already answered. The stability of vaccination was not ascertained when it started rolling out. The cautiousness was clinically required to go slow. Even people are today finding side effects of Pfizer causing myocarditis in small percentage of population.
Scientifically and statistically jabbing whole population was not feasible, it is still not feasible that is why you have to wait few more days even after preponing of the schedule. The production was perfectly tuned with inoculation schedule scientifically, clinically and amicably drafted by the experts privy to available data.
We were self sufficient even after giving it to friendly countries, on top of that we secured orders from countries who may have gone to China or to buy very costly Pfizer. This is how you turn misery into bliss.
Only point I can agree with you and I have never written anything on this issue with USA. I am not sure how this became an issue. Probably after the tweet of Poonawala and that we do not know for which vaccination‘s API he was concerned.
The government probably is not speaking because BJP ecosystem made USA the fall guy and a distraction. And with all the frenzy around they will use it to buy more time which in any case we need to bring down the curve as the virus will naturally go through its own course and more population will be inoculated in the mean time.
