Now #Lancet, a “respected medical” journal has written a scathing piece on @narendramodi Sarkar’s handling of Covid crisis

Their credibility has been seriously dented by retracting the HCQ study & now I will give point by point factual rebuttal to their lies

Pls RT this thread
1. It claims that Indian govt patted its own back & ignored warning signals of 2nd wave

As per the submission of centre to SC, it had repeatedly warned the states (health is a state subject) to be ready for the second wave
Centre told SC it has been vigilant & proactive in urging states to prepare for the 2nd wave of COVID-19 & making sure that the entire nation shows preparedness in case of surge
Centre submitted to SC that while states supported with requisite data largely during the first wave of COVID-19, details were largely not updated by them and districts on the COVID-19 portal even after constant persuasion https://www.theweek.in/wire-updates/national/2021/04/30/lgd46-sc-virus-centre.html
Then it mentions UP & Maha as major hotspots conveniently forgetting states like Delhi, Karnataka, Kerala, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh who have been big contributors & have high case/ population ratio
Then they call our vaccination program “botched up”where this LiLe article mentions that people had to use an app & so many couldn’t use the facilities

WALK-INS were allowed in all centres

Yes, the 3rd phase needs to take appointment on Cowin app & there are teething problems
The article is so much about “failures” that nowhere does it mention that India is the FASTEST in the world in vaccinating its people or that we have amongst the HIGHEST recovery rates in the world
Yes, there have been hiccups now after opening up vaccination for all >18 & decentralisation in 3rd phase of vaccination

Centre has identified 2 major issues plaguing the drive

1 lockdown-like restrictions in many states that make people wary of stepping out for vaccination
India has a population of 130 crore plus & anyone with common sense can say that vaccinating ALL would have definitely taken time inspite of India being the pharmacy of the world (causing a lot of 🔥)& being home to the largest vaccine manufacturer in the world -Serum Institute
It ends the article saying India should keep science at Heart

Funny, considering the article was just a political opinion based on articles written by the LiLe gang which conveniently ignored scientific facts
...like Pfizer refused to do bridging trials (trials on Indian patients) essential for safety & efficacy in ethnic groups as any Tom Dick & Harry working in clinical research will tell you

You would think Lancet being a scientific journal would know this
Btw,some more of my research on how “medical” is Lancet as it wrote about the Kashmir issue (how many KPs did they interview?)

Chk this letter send by a person to Lancet for meddling into political issues like J&K issue which a medical journal shouldn’t https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(19)32073-2/fulltext
Also, talking about keeping
“science at its heart”,
how many AIIMS did
scientific Dr MMS start in his 10 yrs?

While the “religious & unscientific” Modiji inaugurated 14, but we will only remember the Shilanyas of Ram Mandir🙄

..
I will give them back with what
a wh!te man said ; his words will carry more weight for them 🤨🤨
Finally, I will say that the article is the product of a typical western mindset with a colonial hangover that can’t digest the progress that India is making & wants to attack our confidence as a nation

I am with my PM & with my nation against these forces - are you?
