AstraZeneca admitted that its Covid-19 vaccine can cause a rare side effect called Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS). This acknowledgment coincides with the company being sued for claims of serious harm and fatalities linked to the vaccine. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/healthcare/biotech/pharmaceuticals/covishield-side-effects-astrazeneca-expresses-sympathy-for-those-who-lost-loved-ones/articleshow/109744823.cms?from=mdr
AstraZeneca had also partnered with the Serum Institute of India (SII), the world's largest vaccine producer, to supply the vaccine to the Indian Government. The Serum Institute of India has developed the Covishield without utilizing the mRNA platform. The vaccine was created using the viral vector platform. The vaccine involved modifying a chimpanzee adenovirus - ChAdOx1 - to transport the COVID-19 spike protein into human cells.

Rahul Gandhi, said 28th May that Prime Minister was responsible for the second wave and that he "did not understand Covid at all". The Congress leader also predicted "multiple waves" in the country if vaccinations continued at the current pace.
Union Minister Prakash Javadekar declared Friday https://youtu.be/XL3QzgNxQjU?t=927 that vaccinations would be completed before December this year.
The Making of India’s Vaccine Famine: Beyond the Global North v. Global South Duality by Swati Birla and Kuver Sinha https://spectrejournal.com/the-making-of-indias-vaccine-famine/
Extracts: The TRIPs waiver and easing of global trade regulations has now become the rallying cry for citizens’ groups, NGOs, and social movements across the world. In their call for action, prominent economists like Joseph Stiglitz, Jayati Ghosh, Rohinton Medhora, and others have argued for greater funding and political support for COVAX and a short-term TRIPs waiver, along with debt restructuring, as central planks to minimize the disparities between the Global South and North.
With the onset of liberalization in the 1990s, the responsibility to develop and manufacture vaccines was gradually relinquished as the state created a conducive environment for domestic pharmaceutical companies like Ranbaxy and Cipla through Patents Acts, foreign investment regulations, and amended industrial policies. India emerged as a leading generic drug maker and vaccine supplier during this period and by the middle of the decade pharmaceutical firms had started consolidating through mergers and acquisitions.
On the domestic front, on April 20, 2021, the SII received $400 million from the Indian central government’s vaccination budget to ramp up mass production of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. (Concurrently, Bharat Biotech received $200 million to ramp up production of the indigenously developed Covaxin). This funding, which amounts to 10% of the entire vaccine budget in 2021-22, was presented as an advance payment for vaccines that the SII was supposed to produce and supply in the next 2-3 months.
The Indian state’s approach to securing vaccines thus follows the classic (and global) incentive and subsidy approach for vaccine manufacturers: a demand guarantee and a price floor. In the name of mitigating risks for innovation, this approach has funneled public money into two private sectors, vaccine manufacturing and as we shall show now, through drug pricing into privatized health care. .. The inexorable future toward which vaccine capitalism is taking us is a Covid endemic: a future where Covid is a treatable disease for the upper middle classes and a continuous deadly infectious disease with a steady level of fatalities among the poor. Post-pandemic vaccine pricing and royalty flows almost guarantee an indefinite and infinite future demand for vaccines, which will be priced at far above their current rates and will, on the one hand, serve as a conduit through which massive wealth will be transferred from the public to the private sector, while on the other, being used by the Indian state as soft power currency and foreign policy cudgel.
Pandemic capital.. is both tethered to the infrastructure of the state, to the geopolitical social and the body politic of nations; but like the virus it transcends the boundaries of nations. The second wave of Covid in India has once again revealed the global supply chains that undergird vaccine manufacture and the porous boundaries of nation states – made so by the movement of materials, people, viruses, bonds, risks, investments.
What of the language of vaccine diplomacy, geopolitics, and the Global North versus the Global South? Remaining ensconced within the broader ambit of capital, this language, often emanating from the Left and ostensibly directed against the West, has little power to confront immiseration in a post-pandemic future. Unless firmly opposed to vaccine capitalism – the commodification of public health and medicine, the loot of public wealth – unless militantly poised against the enormous power of venture capital and vaccine corporations, from AstraZeneca to SII, such a framework ultimately amounts to taking sides with one form of capital versus another.

The World Health Organization has developed a framework for the production and distribution of vaccines. But the developed countries and their vaccine manufacturers, the ones responsible for developing these vaccines are against joining this initiative...
With an exponential rise in COVID cases, India’s health care sector is crumbling under the pressure. ..But this is where India's vaccination policy has gone completely wrong. The way India is handling its vaccination could lead to a greater crisis than the one we have seen so far. India has a universal immunization program that covers 12 diseases like tuberculosis, diphtheria, whooping cough, measles, polio.

Taken from Call for papers by UU 9th March
lockdowns, health pass mandates, and blanket vaccine rollouts clearly attempt to posit some kind of 'public good' or 'solidarity' over more individualist considerations; sentiments which on the surface appear to be benevolent and even left-oriented.
though lockdowns have already led to unevenly distributed psycho-social damage, and has exacerbated various economic fault-lines between marginalized and privileged groups locally and world-wide, vocal criticisms have so far largely emerged from economistic and right-oriented perspectives that merely espouse a superficial or neoliberal vocabulary of individual freedoms.
public resistance against injustices, like mandatory vaccinations and health passports emanate largely
from right-wing groups by appealing to superficial liberal sentiments. this entire crisis situation runs the risk of being politically appropriated for right-wing or economically conservative
ends,
this expert meeting (seeks) to address lockdown, vaccine mandates, and health-pass politics from a multitude of left-wing, critical, feminist and anti-racist perspectives
Paper proposals may address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Lockdown as pre- or proto- totalitarian
- Lockdown and the inadequacy of left-wing versus right-wing terminology and politics
- Lockdowns, vaccine rollouts and digital health apps, and their relation to global neoliberal capitalism
- Lockdown, covid-19 dashboards and pandemic modelling, and scientific (post)modernity, hypermodernity or technocracy
- Feminist and anti-racist critiques of lockdown and health passes as exacerbating gendered and raced disenfranchisement and disadvantage
- Lockdown and health passes, and theories of biopower, health optimization, dataveillance and necropolitics
- Critical histories of medical policing, population management and disease containment
- Critiques of the roles of biometrics, predictive technologies, data visualizations and dashboards in lockdown and vaccine politics
- The pandemic as (scientific and media) simulation
- Government propaganda and censorship around lockdown and vaccination
- Lockdown and the changing landscape of higher education: problems and opportunities for pedagogy and research
- The acquiescence and complicities of universities and other national and supranational institutions
- The role of mass and social media in anti- or pro-lockdown or vaccine propaganda, political polarization and forms of media virality (eg. via covid-19 memes)
- Lockdown as privileged or elite strategy
- Mandatory vaccine rollouts as assaults to the feminist appeal to bodily autonomy
- Lockdown and health passes, and their impacts on communities of care
- Affective aspects of lockdown: fear (eg. thanatophobia), hope, despair, anger, depression, exhaustion, arrogance, dissociation, trauma reactions
- Lockdown and vaccine development science and politics as performances of masculinity
- Ethical considerations regarding mass experimentation, moral shaming and lateral citizen surveillance
- The symbolic politics of lockdown (eg. virtue signaling)
- Christian eschatological and apocalyptic narratives and lockdown
- Teleological and theological narratives of science as salvation (eg.
via vaccinations)
- Left-wing or more equitable alternatives to lockdown (eg. feminist
care ethics)
- Lockdown discourse and the family
- Lockdown discourse and 'the home' (eg. political assumptions about the
base unit of polity being biological families who live together in the home)
- The appropriation of health pass systems for perverse political ends
Responses:
Quite surprising that there is no mention of the fact that vaccine development and all research should be a public good and that people all over the world are suffering due to lack of access to universal public health services. And about the fact that multinational corporations have a stranglehold on the health sector. My friends in countries like Mali had to mobilize in cooperatives to produce affordable masks and sanitizing products, 9 times cheaper than imported products. In Mali, 0 doses of the vaccine have been administered in the last 28 days. - Yvon Poirier
it is possibly the only topic where the established left has been raising a critical voice and which chimes with the stereotypical lefty do-good scenario that the blurb confronts.
But what if the vaccines in and of themselves are not a good idea? What if they rather constitute a classic capitalist technofix that can resurrect the dying patriarchal science and liberal democracy / white supremacy establishment? Keep the system going by introducing yet another layer of symptom chasing, highly profitable at that, while leaving root causes intact?
Is vaccine solidarity a capitalist, colonial market expansion that undermines other forms of health approaches and knowledge systems, or it it a common good?
Whichever way one chooses to look at it, it seems, it is at least both. - mp

Transcript of interview https://thewire.in/economy/raghuram-rajan-modi-government-economic-package
Comment: RJG on Youtube.. I have never seen Raghuram Rajan sir speak with such intemsity. He said, "This is a failure of the government... ... There is no vision.
What is going wrong are: Extreme centralization of governnance, distaste for experts, and an anhorrence of criticism... ... we are eroding our democracy, and hence our future."
SK:, small point but very important unless India comes out of hatred dividing policy ,leadership looking to win election as a target some how by dividing society Hindu Muslim and jatis then its progress vision is desolved.
ASR: Unfortunately our current cheif economic advicor still think "sab changasi". If we read his articles,blogs or watch interview he sound very optimistic.Either he is dumb that he cant see real situation or he is just trying to save his job.
KM Over-centralisation of governance leads to erosion of free debates, discussions and consultation. Foreign Investors will be more interested in investment in India if democratic institutions such as judiciary, parliament, ECI ,C& AG, RBI and the like can operate and function independtly , without any crippling barriers and restrictions put around by the ruling. dispensation. Democratic spirit and ecosystem must prevail to bring about congenial environment .
NEII: Raghuram Rajan views more efficient government . 1.Decentralisation of central government power . 2.freedom speech 3. Taking constructive feedback from around you by government . Union government should take this feedback immediately proceed further In right direction.. Good democracy need to brought back in India..bring back FII INVESTMENT Confident.. Then history never forget this government in coming days!!
Dr Raghuram Rajan & Dr Palanivel Theyagarajan both are having same vision and idea . how to handle covid 19 second wave and bring back economic..and we are having person in charge doesn’t have any vision and ideas and not ready to listen experts view.

Have you been given Azithromycin, Doxycycline or Ivermectin for COVID? I Barkha Dutt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_daePXb6Io Jan 15, 2022
As India witnesses a massive third wave, where cases continue to surge but hospitalization still remains low, 32 doctors, in an open letter to the Health Ministry and IMA, have asked for 'scientific' interventions in India's Covid response.
"We are repeating the mistakes of the 2021," say doctors from hospitals across India and America, as they point out that medications like Azithromycin, Doxycycline, Ivermectin are still being prescribed for COVID treatment. They have also called out unnecessary CT scans and laboratory tests.
