large parts of this comment are an appeal to authority. India’s response to the pandemic was an absolute disaster to the poor who incidentally make up the majority of the country and whose voices are rarely heard. This comment reeks of privilege and a lack of information about just how bad the indian medical situation is. As just one example, india STILL does not have a good handle on WHAT is killing people. Up until 2018, there were annual death surveys to determine the cause of death. Think about that - people go door to door and record verbal responses about how people died. That is how poor data in india is. These are not anecdotes and you should - respectfully - stop taking anything the indian government says at face value.
