I am guessing your state failed to facilitate vaccine drive for even elderly or you must have asked them to wait for pfizer to come to india since you have no faith in indian vaccines...
Everyone in my famiy above 45+ got two doses of vaccines , some got for free at gov sites and the others who didnt want to wait in line went to private hospitals by paying 250 for each doses.
Your parents can still get vaccine on priority basis coz they belong to high risk category. My advice to you would be to go for available indian vaccines rather than wait for pfizer or moderna.
Or you can keep cribbing and whining like you have been doing about modi and his govenance at the risk of your parents safety. Choice is always yours..
You assume a whole bunch of things. They got their 1st dose of Covishield, but there are no doses to be had for 2nd shot. It is the same darned story everwhere in Kerala. And it is just not Kerala. Other states report the same.
There are no vaccines to be had for payment, either. But there are, I am told, some vaccine doses on the black market.
Are you telling Serum Instuitute and the govt are now wrong? There is plenty of vaccine? Then what was that media ruckus about raw materials from the U.S.?
You can't have it both ways. Either there are enough vaccines or there aren't.
Truth is there aren't.
Btw, Covishield is Oxford vaccine. 52-76% efficacy acc to their own documents. So it is not a matter of me having faith. The numbers speak for themselves.
I wish my patrents had Pfizer or Moderna, but I will not want them to wait for either.
Yeah, intersting word choice of *cribbing* and *whining* to describe people who are worried for their families' safety. Let's hope you never have the occasion to *crib* and *whine* for similar reasons. There is thing called an empathy chip in the brain which in some people doesn't get switched on until they themselves are in trouble.
Or perhaps you wouldn't since politics seem more important to you.
P.S. I never mentioned he-who-shall-not-be-named by name precisely because he alone is not the govt. There is a vast network of bureaucrats who in reality control a lot of the actual governing porcess. But some are so blinded by their political affiliation they simply cannot see beyond it.
