The Indian government is opening up vaccinations for all adults starting tomorrow. About 80-90% of them will receive this vaccine over the course of the year. That's about 10-15k "rare" clotting cases within a population that

Frankly, outside of Indira Gandhi, I don't like the Nehru family. The last great PM from the Congress was PV Narasimha Rao and we all know how shamefully he was treated in the end by mother and son. > Have we seen him as a PM yet? O
