This certainly requires investigation & explanation by the government. Minor side effects should not put people off needed vaccinations; but transparency is essential to retain public confidence. Sunlight, it is said, is the best disinfectant! — PolitiTweet.org

I welcome @ikamalhaasan’s idea of recognising housework as a salaried profession, w/the state govt paying a monthly wage to homemakers. This will recognise & monetise the services of women homemakers in society, enhance their power& autonomy & create near-universal basic income. — PolitiTweet.org

Amused that KP Nayar remembered the 10yr-old story of my efforts to get MEA to fulfil its promise to open an Embassy in the Dominican Republic: https://t.co/PzJVHUEOkC. The reason I was given was an embarrassing shortage of Spanish speakers in the IFS. Glad that’s been remedied. — PolitiTweet.org

It is striking that this is mainly because Kerala's Left Govt does not give teachers UGC rates. It is reputedly the only state govt that has not honoured the Centre's recommendation to grant UGC rates of pay. @DrRPNishank — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 In other words, those Indians who would be administered Covaxin would, in effect, be volunteers for the required third stage clinical trial - without the mandatory "informed consent". This is, to put it mildly, highly unusual. It is also ethically dubious. @BharatBiotech — PolitiTweet.org
