Vaccine Embargo by Biden Administration - Abhijit Iyer-Mitra on Urban Chatterati

[@ramsys9906]

I don't know how many of you remember. When we made our last nuclear test it was France who openly supported India by saying "....well its their security that is their business..." it was business as usual with France.

[@DS-ux9ld]

France had tested nuclear weapons earlier in the 90s so they could hardly criticise India. There are no friends in foreign relations

[@ramsys9906]

@@DS-ux9ld I know France did test. But before test they went public and US on a very soft tone said "it would be better if France abstain from test". France literally showed middle finger. China is repressing Uyghur Muslims but criticized India on Kashmir issue. When US bombed left, right & center Iraq it was ok, but after Mumbai blast US then pres Bush junior warned India not to carry out attacks on Pakistan... There r n-number of examples.

Is CIPLA the one that made generics popular?

@Anthati Srisailam during the HIV virus out break in around the 60s 70s us pharmaceutical wer selling drugs at the rate of 12000 USD per person per month cipla came out with generic medicines at the cost of 2 usd a day per person. These us pharmaceuticals 5hen pressed the world governments on the name of their intellectual property rights and got everyone to ban the use of generic medicines especially the ones made by cipla. what cipla did next was un expected and truelly geniois they reduced the cost of their medicines from 2 usd per day per person to 1 usd per day per person. As a result everyone (starting with the European Union) realised that all us pharmaceuticals are putting profits over public health and this marked the beginning of the downfall of all us pharmaceuticals. Because of the effects of Dr. Yusuf Hamied and his coworkers india became a major pharmaceutical hub. and now I can kind of see the history repeating.

[@ameynamjoshi741]

Bigger question is why does India pays any heed to these bullcrap reports Did any of these countries ask for anybody's validation or approval before attacking their enemy, then why should we value their reports

[@dhotrearvind]

Bharat Biotech (BB): 1. It has already released press statement - it is not dependent upon any country for raw material for production of 700 million doses per year. BB has facilities in other countries which are not dependent on USA, which it can utilize to produce more vaccines and ship part of that production for Indian use. 2. Only thing they need is sterilizer of huge capacity if they decide to further increase the production. For that many EU countries are OEMs. Serum Institute of India (SII): 1. SII has everything under the sun that is required for production of Covishield vaccines. Astrazenica, its partner for the production of Covishield is a UK based company (UK arm of astrazenica). Boris Johnson has already assured all help. So no problem here too. 2. Only thing they need is sterilizer of huge capacity if they decide to further increase the production four fold of the current production rate. For that many EU countries are OEMs. However SII needs some "special types of filters" (filters used for viral partical filteration) to produce novovax vaccine candidate - SII has signed contract with them - for which it is dependent on USA. Biological E, Shantha Biotech, Cadilla, Zudus and other vaccine producing companies: GoI at any point of time can ask it to start Covaxin production. Only thing is it will take 3 months to roll out first doses as the "Vaccine Production Cycle" is of 86 days approximately. There are other vaccine makers who are in line for production of vaccines under "Contract Manufacturing" or "Transfer of Technology" under the directions of GoI, if need be. At the end: GoI along with SII and BB are sitting on a stock of around 60-80 crore doses of vaccines.
