The union govt should just buy all stocks that will be manufactured and distribute it to states based on which states have highest infection rates. simple. this is how every country in the world is doing it. Evaru chepparu bhayya. US lo it is $30 and it is covered by insurance. Insurance leni vaadu konukkovali ga. Union government paid for the r&d to develop the vaccine and hence getting subsidized. Lekka prakaram if they didn’t give money for r&d then center will also be paying same rate as state. To culture and manufacture and qc that large amounts of doses it takes money and labor. Companies are not looking at vaccines for pure profit making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its from the govt data itself.. only 5% earn more than 50k/mo. its data. the data may be old. (2015), but union govt has stopped collecting data after that. 30% mark enti? what makes you so sure of that mark? I say even 1% not vaccinated can cause a newer more dangerous mutation in the future. asalu 2nd wave etla ochindhi ani kooda evariki teliyadhu. manam emo % gurinchi talking. It’s a proven stat in US and UK that vaccinating 1/3rd of the population reduces the virus spread drastically. Herd immunity ki now the requirement is 4/5th the population. That is gonna take more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagan ekanga September varaku veyyalemu for 18-45 ani cheppesaadu. nuvvemo wait cheyyakunda andaru eseskondi antunnav. 1000/- is nothing for you, or me. but you realise that you are in the top 1% in India? you expect them to spend a huge percentage of their income to vaccinate themselves? the govt could've avoided all this by simply buying all the doses and vaccinating on priority basis.

I say Indian govt and the state govts can vaccinate people even more efficiently than the US govts. how can you say that its alright that the vaccine has to be bought? Its criminal.

Iriswest Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 7 minutes ago, Raven_Rayes said: you seem fixated on the idea that states waste vaccines, while corporates don't. you are wrong. the initial wastage of covid vaccines happened because states overestimated the demand for the vaccines and overstocked it. Now they understand how to do it with zero waste. nuvvu baaga underestimate chesthunnav govt capacity. I'm only talking about govt policy here. especially Modi. I have no doubt about govt capacity to vaccinate or treat people, even better than private hospitals. ikkada policy aey wrong aynappudu, nuvvu cool ga let them buy for a higher price ani antunnav.. that means vulnerable people who actually need the vaccine may not get it on priority basis. simple truth. No bhayya. I don’t trust that government can vaccinate without wastage. Not enough awareness was created for masses. Ippatiki aa 45 above vaallu 90% educated people eh teeskunnaru.

For the uninsured, they are reimbursed through the CARES fund, with $200b to help with frontline workers, and uninsured covid patients.
