When I hear that there is a "National Cow Commission", I had to be reminded again that India have actually become a joke.

Setup last year? In the year 2020? That's their new R&D direction in 2020? Holy Cow! It's wonderful for the haters and rivals. Pure relief for the Western imperialists. They have found their perfect 3rd world country to exploit. And one whose impossible to become a second China.

If Holy Cow is the shape of things to come for India Superpower. Then perhaps that's a relief for China and the rest of Asia. That means we will not have a competent and formidable fascist state like Nazi Germany looming over the horizon. Jai Hind!

I wonder if one day Pakistan and India gets in a war again, could Pakistan use the 2000 year old trick of bull charges?

Put some tar on the cow, light them on fire and charge it toward Indian lines.... The Indians can't shoot the cows, because holy, and might get gorged....

Don’t think me cold blooded or deliberately trying to screw India over, but I actually think the world needs to work to actively deny India access to vaccines at this point.

The reasons are that at their current stage of infection, vaccines are basically useless to do much meaningful good due to the long time needed for vaccine immunity to kick in, and the limited global available quantity of vaccines.

Even if there were enough vaccines available to inoculate the entire Indian population, there isn’t sufficient time to get enough people vaccinated to achieve herd immunity minimum percentage of population before the virus naturally gets there first given the massive head start the virus already have and the speed of its spread.

So what does that mean? It means at best you have a minority of the population vaccinated with full immunity while everyone else gets the virus naturally.

That’s like the opposite of inoculation based herd immunity, where you have a small percentage of population with vaccine induced immunity being constantly re-exposed to countless naturally mutating variants of the virus. That sounds like the perfect way to train the virus to start attaining it’s own defences against vaccine trained immunity.

Vaccines is fundamentally the wrong tool for this job.

India needs to bring infection rates down sufficiently to allow for a viable vaccine strategy or it needs to just suck it up and take it; but throwing vaccines blindly at this current crisis will only repeating the exact same mistakes that have created antibiotic resistant superbugs.

You do have a point here. The whole world can give India all the aids she needs but it will not be helpful until the Indians and the Modi government seriously start to do :
- a disciplined lockdown with a nationwide strict movement controlled management
- massive logistics support to sustain the population with basic needs,
- utilizing the entire Indian armed forces, police, red cross etc.
- STOP politicizing this tragedy and handle this terrible disease from a medical prospective.
To handle this Modi must acknowledge there is a real health crisis and show a lot more urgency. He should have suspended political rallies, festivals, geopolitics weeks ago so as to redirect all efforts and money to this worsening crisis. He needs to be humbled and get his priorities right.....but he seem to be so confident.
