Vaccine War

Against Corona was a global war, no one nation fought alone. That’s why we all, in every nation of the world, defeated it without as much of damage as it was perhaps being feared for initially. All the vaccines were collective efforts of scientists and pharma companies at diverse places all round the world. And were result of already undertaken efforts of decades even before corona impacted us. 

Years of legacy researches resulted in quick roll out of covid vaccine. In India primarily it was Oxford Astra Zenca vaccine ( not an Indian one) which was foundry manufactured as Covishield by smart local pharma company appreciatively. Our vaccine dispensation for rural and urban infrastructure which had always been known as gold standard since decades came handy for fight against corona as platform for vaccines dispensation. 

It’s also important to note that over 85 percent people in India were vaccinated with this originally Oxford researched AstraZeneca vaccine called Covishield. Other locally acclaimed vaccine Covaxin had only 12-15 percent usage in India. This vaccine also did not get universal approval as many countries refused to accept its claims on tests. It would also be almost blasphemous rather just only cheap allegations to speak ill about mRNA vaccines, which most of the western world used successfully to contain spread of covid. Being expansive to deliver at remote places it was not popular in developing nations who skipped it. However mRNA research has been one of the most innovative in recent medical development and not just for Corona it has reported potential to save humanity from many such virus afflictions, disease and malignancies in future.

All nations came together against corona. It was WHO mandated Covax programme which ensured that most people world over get vaccines. They imposed compulsions on vaccine patent holders and manufacturers to ensured equitable distribution to all and percentages were fixed. No nation which itself manufactured vaccines under license from other countries can take undue credit for distributing vaccine to other poor nations. 

It was war we all fought despite many politicians taking credit. In fact many businesses under protection of politicians took advantage of usurping health infrastructure like hoarding medicines, supplying low quality oxygen machines and some politicians even used public rallies to spread the crises. It is despite them we humans succeeded. Don’t give any credit to them. They would have liked worsening of this.
