I make it a point to ignore this serial fake news peddler but today let’s debunk her typical rant-threads full of avidya.
1. Testing at over 188 govt labs is totally free. Test at pvt labs is one of the lowest in the world. (BTW she can’t tell diff b/w RT-PCR & anti-body test) https://twitter.com/vidyakrishnan/status/1251458374182428675">https://twitter.com/vidyakris...

2. She says BJP is to be blamed for Corona crisis in MP
But 1st case in Indore (which now has 62% of MP’s cases) was reported b4 BJP formed govt (meaning damage was already done)
Also, why Muslim areas (where health workers were attacked) are major hotspots & most patients Ms? https://twitter.com/vidyakrishnan/status/1251458374182428675">https://twitter.com/vidyakris...

3. Look how dumb she is.
Says that “We& #39;ve pretty much stopped acknowledging the migrant crisis.” And in the next line says “We have 23 THOUSAND relief camps across India w. 12lac stranded migrants.”
If there are 23k camps, how have we ignored migrants? (All govts doing gr8 btw) https://twitter.com/VidyaKrishnan/status/1251458983329591297">https://twitter.com/VidyaKris...

4. Refers to a death of a migrant who died due to exhaustion.
But she is also the same person who scoffed when govt analysis predicted 8.2 L cases w/o lockdown.
One death > thousands of lives saved from Covid (don’t forget additional 1000s of lives saved as no road accidents) https://twitter.com/vidyakrishnan/status/1251459315556249600">https://twitter.com/vidyakris...

5. Lol, the bigot wants to ignore CONFIRMED 4,200+ cases linked to Nizamuddin Markaz but wants information of IMAGINARY Covid cases caused by Hindu religious gatherings.
BIGOT. https://twitter.com/VidyaKrishnan/status/1251460814931849217">https://twitter.com/VidyaKris...

6. She has a problem with Govt highlighting success of containment strategy in Kasargod, a district with ~40% Muslim population (in Communist rules state)
Didn’t know anti-BJP folks are so dead inside they would hate any positive news even if it’s coming from a commie paradise. https://twitter.com/vidyakrishnan/status/1251463141801648128">https://twitter.com/vidyakris...

7. A health/science journalist says a question on HCQ, a drug being recommended as most effective yet all over the world, is not relevant.
Says random numbers being thrown. Hmm, NO. Dr was throwing specific numbers from the studies. Not his problem you are thick as a brick. https://twitter.com/vidyakrishnan/status/1251463837527601153">https://twitter.com/vidyakris...

8. Well, two Qs were asked in one go. Maybe he forgot to answer.
But a health journalist should know that the GOVT issued advisory on pool treating FIVE DAYS BACK.

9. Actually, Luv Agarwal described what defined parameters for ideal clinical PPEs is (for example, blood units should not pass through them)
PPEs that don’t meet the defined criteria aren’t being given to healthcare workers. Govt is not buying shady kits from market

10. It’s a perfectly legitimate question to ask if there are rogue Rohingyas roaming in the country who attended the Tablighi event and are possibly infected with Covid-19.
Her love for Rohingyas and Tablighis (responsible for spreading CoronaV in 23 states) is really something. https://twitter.com/VidyaKrishnan/status/1251465619423195137">https://twitter.com/VidyaKris...

11. TJ is responsible for ~ 30% of India’s confirmed cases (officially; actual %age will be much higher if we get data on Tablighis in Indore and Mumbai). But she thinks that someone asking whether these Jamaatis have been tracked is not a health concern! What love.
