When Germ Warfare Happened
Seventy years ago, Japan’s bio-attacks killed hundreds of thousands. The effects linger today.

India crosses a Landmark Milestone with more than 16 Cr doses administered



India has scaled another peak in its effort to contain the COVID-19 virus with the administration of more than 16 Cr vaccine doses to its citizens. The cumulative number of COVID19 vaccine doses administered in the country stands at 16,04,18,105 as per the provisional report 08:00 pm today.


India also administered more than 13 Cr (13,00,03,225) doses as the first dose and more than 3 Cr (3,04,14,880) vaccine doses have been administered as the second dose.


2,29,999 beneficiaries of the age group 18-44 years received their first dose of COVID vaccine today. The cumulative vaccination coverage for this age group is 6,62,619 across 12 States/UT. Table below shows the cumulative vaccine doses administered to 18-44 years age group till now.

Threefold increase in production of Remdesivir in the country - Shri Mansukh Mandaviya


The production of remdesivir is being increased at a rapid pace in the country. In just a few days, India has achieved 3 times the production capacity of Remedesvir and will soon be able to meet the growing demand. This was announced by the Minister of State for Chemical and Fertilizers Shri Mansukh Mandaviya today.

Several variants of SARS-CoV-2 have been emerging across the globe, continuing to threaten efforts to stem the world's worst virus outbreak. The variants with N440K spike substitution have been detected in several parts of India, which has been hit by the second wave of the pandemic.

Scientists at the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) have found that lineages with N440K are not the dominant ones in the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic in India. It was CCMB that had discovered the new coronavirus variant N440K.

Experts have also said that the new prevalent variant, N440K is at least 15 times more lethal than the earlier ones. They said it may even be stronger than the Indian variants of B1.617 and B1.618.

While N440K was indeed a mutation of concern in South India during and after the first wave, current data shows that it is slowly being replaced by new variants of concerns (VoCs) such as B.1.617 (dubbed a double-mutant variant) and B.1.1.7 (variant identified in the UK).

When comparing the data from Maharashtra, researchers found that the increase of B.1.617 variant was in February rather than in March 2021, and again a reduction in the proportion of lineages with N440K was observed.

"The timing of the increase in B.1.617 coincides well with the second waves seen in the respective states," finds Divya Tej Sowpati of CCMB.

According to him, in Maharastra, one of the worst-affected states in the country, the second wave started almost a month and half earlier compared to the four southern states, along with the explosion of B.1.617 at the expense of lineages with the mutation N440K.

"In Kerala, though not much data is available on GISAID, we can see from genescov2.genomes.in that B.1.1.7 is increasing at present, whereas N440K is present in less than 20 per cent of the genomes," he further added.

Earlier, CCMB scientists had found that the N440K variant produced ten times higher infectious viral titers than a prevalent A2a strain, and over 1,000 folds higher titers than a much less prevalent A3i strain prototype in Caco2 cells.

However, this may not be a matter of concern, because how a virus behaves in cell culture under controlled settings and no competition, may not be the same in a complicated pandemic scenario.

Earlier, by June 2020, a variant with D614G substitution had become the predominant strain. Later, new variants were identified across the world, such as the B.1.1.7 lineage (UK), P.1 lineage (Brazil), and B.1.351 (South Africa).

China’s rulers’ disgusting mockery of India’s COVID-19 deaths

These bat loving yellow monkeys destroyed the world with this biological attack and now these
yellow rats have the audacity to mock others misery.

Something to note.

The so called Indian strain is causing outbreaks in many countries like Singapore, Poland, Algeria, Israel without even any direct connection with Indian travelers. This means the strain is already spreading within these countries and now more than 50. They also have the more so called dangerous strains like Brazil, South Africa but Indian strain is multiplying like crazy outpacing the wild Chinese original virus and these strains.

Now the implication is all nations including vaccinated ones are terrified at the thought of another wave. I will not be surprised if this strain indeed is responsible for a world wide wave. Some countries have already closed all connectivity with India and those which allow have imposed quarantine testing controls of the highest types. More and more countries are going to close their door to India and it will be a long time till it reopens.

Out of all the states affected by COVID, CNN goes to UP. It seems the media blitz by Soros is gearing to target Yogi. Next year elections will be tough for Yogi.
