The Govt's floundering mishandling of the #Covid crisis & dependence on foreign assistance has undermined our national self-respect. And yet they ask us for "positivity"? https://t.co/pbtGxThERs — PolitiTweet.org

Govt panel's announcement of 12-16 weeks between Covishield shots follows the UK recommending 8-12 weeks in Dec & @WHO saying 8-12 weeks in Feb. GOI had first decreed 4 weeks, then 6-8 weeks. Could GOI pls explain to the public the science behind their 12-16 weeks recommendation? https://t.co/xLVryQWKK1 — PolitiTweet.org

Despite our political differences, @AnupamPKher remains a friend. And he has said the right thing here: the Govt has "slipped" in handling #Covid. "We should as people get angry...It is important to hold the government responsible for what has happened." https://t.co/v4hgYa4RyT — PolitiTweet.org

Kahlil Gibran’s posthumously published poem, “Pity the Nation” (1933) & Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s 2006 reprise of it ring with a painful resonance in today’s India. #PityTheNation https://t.co/heqWdnwTX9 — PolitiTweet.org

Let me keep it simple: 1. Is the vaccine shortage because of Congress’ tweets? 2. Did GOI fail to order enough vaccines because of my tweets? 3. Is differential pricing inMay the result of my pointing out on Jan3 that that Phase3 trials of Covaxin were not complete? @HardeepSPuri — PolitiTweet.org

Why is it that no one can be tested for #Covid in the Andaman Islands even if they are showing symptoms, without permission in writing from the DC? How will the Administration ever know what the true picture is of Covid infections? — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting: Australia has 2 million #Covid testing kits that will expire this month if not used. India needs to test far more people than we have kits for. Sounds like the perfect match, if GOI is quick enough on its feet to get them in time! @AusHCIndia https://t.co/yvKQwjLZMY — PolitiTweet.org
