EU blatant favoritism provokes Indian backlash over vaccines
India blames EU for up to FOUR MILLION Covid cases - 'People were scared of vaccines'
"MIXED messages from the EU may have led to as many as a fifth of all Covid infections in India, sources close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government in Delhi said last night."
"Leading virologist Dr Shahid Jameel, director of the Trivedi School of Biosciences at Ashoka University, said: "Vaccine hesitancy is not an issue now but it was. In the first part of the vaccine drive because we were on a falling daily curve and so at that time there was also a lot of this blood clotting matters that were being raised in the EU. It “was playing on people's minds."
And this view was backed by official sources who estimated that vacillations over vaccine safety may have accounted for as much as 20 percent of Indian infections, around four million in total."
Now yes the link I will give is for The Express which some will automatically deride, for no good reason.
But it does make a valid point, and it does appear that the root of the EU's anti-AstraZeneca stance is the company's involvement with the UK government to produce this vaccine.
As always, it is ordinary people that suffer.
Not just in India either.
