May ALLAH ( GOD ) help all of us Aameen . Best of luck from Pakistan on Covid-19 issue .‘Americans first’
cites domestic priorities to reject India’s vaccine plea
NEW DELHI: As India’s Covid crisis explodes, the US delivered a blow to India’s vaccination programme, indicating it would prioritise its own citizens before addressing India’s request for vaccine components.
Responding to journalists, the US State Department spokesperson said, “we have a special responsibility to the American people”.
“It's of course not only in our interest to see Americans vaccinated; it’s in the interests of the rest of the world to see Americans vaccinated.” The implied subtext was that Indians’ vaccination was less important.
Foreign minister S Jaishankar has held a couple of rounds of discussions with his counterpart Anthony Blinken on the easing of the US export embargo. Foreign secretary Harsh Shringla has held similar discussions with Wendy Sherman, US deputy secretary.
Washington sources said some US Congressmen have also expressed support. But that this is going to be a difficult one, is now clear.
Meanwhile, German chancellor Angela Merkel expressed doubts about helping India develop its pharma sector, especially as India has tightened its pharma exports in the context of the ongoing Covid crisis.
Merkel was quoted as saying by Politico, “We now have a situation with India where, in connection with the emergency situation of the pandemic, we are worried whether the pharmaceutical products will still come to us,” observed Merkel.
“Of course, we have only allowed India to become such a large pharmaceutical producer in the first place, also from the European side, in the expectation that this should then also be complied with. If that is not the case now, we will have to rethink.” Indicating that Germany might rethink its own industrial policies Merkel said, “The truth is, we haven’t treated our pharmaceutical industry so well for many years.”
On Thursday, John Nkengasong, director of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warned India against blocking vaccine exports to Africa under the COVAX program.
“If you finish vaccinating your people before Africa or other parts of the world, you have not done yourself any justice because variants will emerge and undermine your own vaccination efforts“ Nkengasong said.
Most countries in Africa haven’t even begun their vaccinations, while many others have been reported as saying they don’t know whether they would be able to get their second jab at all.

US covid cases are slowing and they already have a vaccine surplus if reports are to be believed. The least they could have done is help the country with the most cases per day for humanities sake. Bangladesh knows why we are stopping now, we have delivered when we could.

Bangladesh already paid in full for that vaccine in advance. Now Bangladesh he's trying to get vaccines from whatever they can.
Us might do it for the g7 partners, india is not part of g7.
You cannot blame US for India's failure.

This is simply there America first policy.
And this will get all the american people support for the US government. This is all inward looking, act local, first thing first, simple and straight with no strings attached policy.
Lots of self entitlement for americans to cheer about. They are made to look as the most important, most cared and pampered people on earth...
These types of vibes helps the government.

Pfizer and Moderna wanted to make their vaccine in India. But the Indian Government was too slow to respond. They couldn't wait and went a different way.
Biden wants to stockpile enough supplies for future contingencies and as an American I have to agree with him. The only vaccine that we have which is approved for use in India is AstraZeneca which is being held in reserve until we stockpile enough Pfizer, Moderna and J&J. Perhaps the administration will release AstraZeneca when Novovax is approved later this month and we begin receive the first batch of 100 million doses.

in sale dhokhebajo ko bhi indian ocean me akela chhor denge .
that’s not how it works. Every country is looking out for themselves. And Pakistanis here won’t understand because they neither produce or manufacture vaccine. They wait for us to make it
Indians- you renegade your commitments to Europeans and essentially disrupted the supply chain. Next you produced the vaccines that created so many clotting cases that a lot of supply had to be discarded
then you blocked vaccines to Africa to hoard for your citizens
China: produced a vaccine that’s 58% effective and gave to African countries as loans
US:we had an idiot president who would acknowledge the pandemic and caused us to be late in the game. And now that we are we’re trying to catch up. 2nd all J&J vaccines have been stopped due to the same clots
2- US didn’t take any of Indian made vaccines. And our priority after our citizens is to the Canadians and Mexicans which the US is sending them. Any surplus that US gets is by agreement to our neighbors
