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
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
2. Then it said govt is more intent on removing criticism on Twitter than controlling the pandemic
Now,as this article shows, SM was filled with FAKE stories to create panic
Is the govt wrong in asking SM to take down such fake posts that create panic? https://www.theaustraliatoday.com.au/besides-covid-19-india-is-also-fighting-with-vulture-journalists-who-are-spreading-more-panic-and-despair-than-pandemic/

Also, what’s wrong in @myogiadityanath asking state police to take strict action on those spreading fake stories of oxygen supply, etc to create panic in the state? https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/lucknow-news/firagainst-lucknow-hospital-for-complaining-about-oxygen-shortage-101620389339827.html
Another example of fake news to creates panic on SM
A guy from Amethi whose grandpa was neither Covid + nor needed oxygen was sending SOS on Twitter for cylinder
Don’t miss the Amethi police report on how it affects already stretched healthcare system https://www.opindia.com/2021/04/the-scroll-publishes-misleading-headline-to-attack-the-up-government-over-fake-sos-oxygen-case-amethi/amp/

Then it talks about religious congregations & election rallies totally ignoring farmers protests & siege around Delhi as super spreader events
Maha had 50 % cases & deaths in the beginning of the 2nd wave
Were elections & Kumbh held there? http://www.opindia.com/2021/04/election-commission-rallies-opposition-parties-bjp/

The article conveniently ignores that 2nd wave started from Mumbai & Maha, perhaps becoz of this V
S00LI that allowed foreign travellers to skip mandatory quarantine & mingle freely & spread this virus in Mumbai & to metros & then entire India https://www.opindia.com/2021/04/bmc-officials-took-bribes-to-allow-foreign-international-passengers-to-escape-mandatory-quarantine-mid-day-report/amp/

Then they claim govt “abruptly shifted course without discussing the change in policy with states” which is a blatant lie as highlighted by @drharshvardhan https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/deplorable-centre-slams-maharashtra-some-other-states-for-spreading-panic-about-vaccine-availability/articleshow/81952792.cms
It’s sad that when we have to stand together, there was ugly #VaccinePolitics with Congis ruled states talking about step motherly treatment, opening up vaccination for all & journos like Couptaji talking about too much centralisation https://www.news18.com/news/opinion/those-indulging-in-vaccine-politics-must-know-it-has-a-price-lives-of-citizens-3623789.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

1 lockdown-like restrictions in many states that make people wary of stepping out for vaccination
2 lack of vaccination staff, with resources getting diverted for patient care duties given rising admissions at hospitals https://www.news18.com/news/india/what-ails-indias-vaccination-drive-against-covid-19-a-look-at-the-deeper-issues-3716879.html
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
