    Just a periodic reminder that @BharatBiotech has still not published efficacy data for Covaxin, while @SerumInstIndia has not published its immunogenicity data for Covishield. It is truly amazing that both these companies feel no pressure to publish asap. Round of applause 👏👏

    S. Jameel quits as chair of INSACOG advisory board. Last year an expert vaccine committee, headed by Gagandeep Kang, was disbanded, following which she left THSTI. Before that, virologist Arun Kumar left Manipal Inst of Virology after ridiculous accusations by health ministry

    Wanted to capture the whole saga of Covaxin in one story, for the record. Here is my very long read on the very promising vaccine that was rolled out very badly:

    ICYMI: Bharat Biotech, which filed a Rs 100 crore defamation suit against Indian journalists writing about Covaxin, acknowledges that it made mistakes during Covaxin development, due to political pressure to launch the vaccine fast

    The incredible burden of proof on journalists to show that the administration messed up. And the zero demand for the administration to share the information they are legally obligated to share. How did it come to this?

    One of the best equipped hospitals in the goddamned capital of this country just lost 25 patients to oxygen shortage. I can't believe it.

    A lot of people are confused about *how* diethylene glycol can get into a cough syrup in the first place, when it is so deadly. A thread based on some of my reading while reporting on the Digital Vision case (1)

    Since I have criticized premature vaccine approvals, lack of data and poor AEFI reporting systems on Twitter a lot, I must also say that I got a dose of Covishield recently. One can be pro-vaccine while demanding better safety systems. Please don't create false dichotomies.

    The other day, I spoke to a prominent Indian government spokesperson about the Gambian DEG issue. I wanted to know why the government was taking such an odd stance of denying the dangers of such a well-known contaminant. Discussion was supposed to be on record (1)

    Just a member of the ruling political party celebrating a lawsuit by a private ltd company against legitimate criticism from the media of the vaccine regulatory process. Nothing insidious.
