This wave is showing that it was Dumb luck that made it possible to handle last year. > It's easy in hindsight In a whole year of time to prepare, with examples in numerous nations, who could possibly have fathomed that a rapidly mutating virus would evolve to overcome the immunological barriers presented in India? Many people! Not only were experts and opposition members warning about a possible disastrously second wave, we even have district collectors who acted on such fears. And it is apparent today, to normal people, that creating reserves of oxygen, vaccine and preparation was possible last year. It is entirely the failure of this government to instead have indulged in its beliefs of "naturopathy, homeopathy, unani, cow urine" and the rest. Not to mention, this is Modi being hoisted on his own petard. He has built a system that bows to him, waits for his decisions and his action. He has built that image and acted according to it. He has weakened every independent body and applied pressure everywhere. So if he is adding his image to COVID vaccine certificates, is it also not his charge to have protected the country from this disaster?
