India's Vaccinations Drive

When the India decided to adopt the CovishieId and Covaxin, the intelligentsia, non-BJP political parties, NGOs, anti Modi all started speaking in the media that there is insufficient data on it’s efficacy, it is fake and we will not get it done.

The media also launched a movement against the Indian vaccine.

During this time, look at the list of how many news / articles were published in the media against the vaccine -

Indian Express-182,

Loksatta-172,

Navbharat Times-236,

Hindustan times -123,

Times of india -28,

The wire -78,

The print -59,

Scroll-122,

Newslundary-54,

Alt news -78,

The hindu -128

Look at the list of how many leaders of the opposition political parties spoke against the vaccine.

Congress Party-58,

Samajwadi Party-17,

Shiv Sena-27,

DMK-13,

CPM-12

TMC-12

The founders and employees of 265 major NGOs had spoken against the vaccine.

172 retired IAS, IPS, judges and other government officials also

had spoken against the vaccine.

342 cartoons were produced by cartoonists in opposition to the vaccine.

After all this, a confusion arose among the large section of the people of the country that vaccine is not safe and hence is not to be taken. And when the vaccination started from 15 January, only a few people used to come to the vaccine centers. 

On a couple of days some vaccination centers reported only 2-3 vaccinations.

If you look at the long lines for vaccines in Mumbai today, hundreds of people above 60 years are also seen.  

Someone may ask them that since March, when there were no crowds and vaccine doses were going waste, why did they not get the vaccination done then? 

Similarly the HCWs and FLWs now queuing up did not want it January onwards when it had opened up exclusively for them. 

The reason are the same fear that these newspapers, politicians etc. had created.

Due to this fear, and vaccination hesitancy several million doses of vaccine were wasted, new orders were delayed, production capacity expansion did not take place and the result is there for all to see.

Today these same agitators/protestors against the vaccine are getting  vaccinated quietly.

As per the Ministry, Haryana reported 6.49 vaccine wastage, followed by Assam with 5.92 per cent, and Rajasthan with 5.68 per cent.

5.67 per cent vaccine wastage was recorded in Meghalaya, 5.20 per cent in Bihar, 5.19 per cent in Manipur, 4.94 per cent in Punjab, 4.5 per cent in Dadra and Nagar Haveli, 4.13 per cent in Tamil Nadu and 3.36 per cent in Nagaland.

Hothon par ganga ho, haathon me tiranga ho

Shohrat na ata karna maula, daulat na ata karna maula
Bas itna ata karna chahe jannat na ata karna maula
shammae watan ki lau par jab kurban patanga ho
Hothon par ganga ho, haathon me tiranga ho
Bas ek sada hi goonje sada barfeeli mast hawaon main
...Bas ek sada hi uthe sada jalte tapte sahraaon main
Jeete ji iska maan rakhe, markar maryaada yaad rahe
Hum rahe kabhi na rahe magar, iski saj dhaj aabad rahe
Godhara na ho, gujrat na ho, insaan na nanga ho
Hothon par ganga ho, haathon main tiranga ho.
