Blaming the US for not exporting vaccine raw materials for the current COVID surge is even less useful than accusing the BJP of good sense.

The reason India is in this situation isn't because we did not optimize Serum Institute's supply chain.

Red herrings are weird.

India had religious festivals and election rallies with millions of people in the last few months. You are surprised the case load increased exponentially?

India has had one of the lowest health expenditures as a percentage of GDP even in the developing world. For decades.

You are surprised the country's health infrastructure is crumbling?

India has a union government that has usurped powers of its states for decades.

You are surprised it's having an adverse effect on the ability of state and local governments to be effective?

State governments in India can't raise much revenue on their own anymore and the union isn't even paying them GST dues that it owes them.

What do you think a state government runs on? State governments should have the ability to raise revenue to manage their response well.

The time to question this and every move of the union government was when you became a half thinking human. Now is the time to continue that questioning.
