    Liberal Elite and china are playing games to make billions more in vaccine business also to maintain tyrannical control. Put normal flu patients, if slightly low in oxygen saturation directly on icu ventilators.Then no care or service and in ICU no loved ones visit. People die of deadly injections in the name of medicine or fear. Then blame the surge on new variant! Same thing happened in New York controlled by liberals or modern name for communists. Many elderly died on ventilators without any care or medicines as testified by an emergency flight nurse deputed there. It was just to create more fear about virus and force their experimental injections in the name to bring situation back to normal, on almost everyone. Now people are dying of their effects of vaccines with sudden cardiac arrests or brain clots. Communist chinese are smart manipulators and starving people for ruthless control as per Divine messages. When vaccine injuries and death cases came up in Indian courts, Central Government suggested citizen to file compensation cases against Serum Institute, responsible guilty officers of the state governments and not to seek from the Central government. ///// Affidavit says that the Central Government had not brought any mandates for compulsory vaccination therefore they will not pay compensation. The mandates were by the State Governments!

    Two years ago China/USA was not revealing the true facts of their covid situation there....how many died etc etc. Always whole world was pointing out India though we had less comorbidities than other countries. Now, how come China is publishing the facts that hospitals are full.....cemetries are full etc. Still more viruses you release mangesha china...

    Since media is heavily censored in China, how is it possible that so many pictures and news reports are freely available to the outside world? Apply logic and reason why this sudden negative propoganda from a country having a ruthless communist government with 100% media censored??

    Absolutely right, sir! Also , the release of the ‘Leaks part-3’ (which is similar in content to the ‘Leaks part-1’) from China , was timed for release, after: Xi was voted unopposed (Who? Hu? ) to the position of Supreme “Supreme Leader" and the end of the Qatar funded football fix-tures with the finale being fixed between Paris Saint-Germain Vs Paris Saint –Germain (Qatar Sports INVESTMENTS).

    The Govt should immediately stop all flights into or out of China in India, via or turn around. Airports need higher scrutiny and Air Suvidha and COVID tests should be made compulsory for all International travelers. We don't want another catastrophe here in India due to air travel passengers carrying virus here

    In a global village, it's practically impossible to enforce such a diktat!! Since the virus is airborne and highly transmissible even through fomites, banning travel is not a solution! Also, how do you keep control on passengers indirectly arriving from China?

    It's a highly virulent flu type illness; I read that SSI is getting ready to launch an Omicron specific vaccine to exploit the situation! BTW, nobody can stop the virus from mutating and no end to vaccines! Only when majority of the population gets full blown immunity will we be able to vanquish it! Forced lockdowns are the main reason of the virus rearing it's head again and again! Fear psychosis is being spread by the Chinese for whatever reason!!

    Put Bill Gates behind bars, his global vaccine business baby or brain child covid stops immediately !! Already many cases are piling against covid vaccines deaths worldwide. One in mumbai high court against him and adar poonawalla. This billionairs control politicians worldwide. He, looks like, intentionally spread the virus and loot billions of tax payers money worldwide and give few millions to politicians either side and keep going his flu vaccine business with new new names or variants. Recently (Oct 22) another flu virus named Enterovirus pandemic simulation done by him and few countries health officials, to happen somewhere in Brazil! Looks like he simulates first then spread the virus as he did with covid simulation called Event 201 in 2019 before the pandemic outbreak! Mostly to control population in the name of climate change and he claimed with vaccines 15% population can be reduced in his 2010 Ted Talk. But 15% or much more as other eugenics globalist elite want 500 million population only as written in their Georgia Guidestone as ideal population.

    Do not compare India with China. Chinese vaccines were not effective. In India we have natural as well as acquired (from vaccines) immunity. China starts with "C" ,covid starts with "C" and C...... also starts with "C".No marks for correct fill in the blanks.

    Chinese have started importing European vaccines and also medications: BEIJING, Dec 13 (Reuters) - A Chinese healthcare platform has started selling Pfizer's (PFE.N) oral COVID-19 treatment Paxlovid in what appears to be the first retail sale of the drug in the country, as China braces for a surge in COVID patients. The medication sold out just over half an hour after the listing was reported in the media, the platform's customer service said, underscoring surging demand for COVID and flu medicines in China.
