Bengaluru: No response from Centre to state's demand for 30 lac Covid vaccine booster doses


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru

Bengaluru, Jan 11: The state health department is awaiting response from the Centre on the distribution, timing and administration of Covid-19 vaccination doses.

The demand for Covid-19 vaccines in Karnataka is increasing evidently due to the rise in the number of people infected with the disease in the neighbouring countries. Against this backdrop, the state health department has requested the Centre to dispatch 30 lac booster doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. But, the state government has so far not received any response from the Centre, state health department officials said.

Dr Rajani, deputy director of State Health Department said there was no response as yet from the Centre regarding the quantity of dispatch of Covid-19 vaccines and about the timing of administering it.

With the number of Covid-19 cases rising in China, US, Japan and South Korea, the government had taken several steps anticipating another wave in December.

    Do these vaccines really prevent one from getting covid ? Only God knows. My daughter in Canada took 4 doses (Two normal and two booster) of Pfizer vaccines. Last month, she got covid and later recovered. I got many times earlier, SMS to take booster dose in Bangalore, but having known the efficacy of it from my daughter, I am not going to take booster doses.

    The virus will go on mutating and the pharma cartel will be very happy to produce booster after booster and many people will perish in the process as is already happening; also the RTPCR test is not reliable as it can give many false positives; best is to help your body to develop it's own innate immunity and carry on with life! BTW, see what happened in China? They have exported their vaccine to 123 countries, what will be their fate?

    Washington Jan 9 (IANS): A US-based researcher has claimed that messenger RNA Covid-19 vaccine can increase serious adverse events in people, including sudden cardiac deaths. Joseph Fraiman, the lead author of the peer-reviewed research that re-analysed Pfizer & Moderna trials for mRNA Covid-19 vaccine, has tweeted: "I believe the mRNA Covid-19 vaccines need to be withdrawn". "We found the vaccine increases serious adverse events at a rate of one in 800. At the time of the publication, my co-authors and I did not believe our single study warranted the withdrawal of messenger RNA vaccines from the market. However, since its publication, multiple new pieces of evidence have come to light, and this has caused me to re-evaluate my position," said Fraiman in a video that surfaced online. In another tweet, he mentioned that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published study surveillance data finds the Pfizer Covid vaccine increases the risk of lung blood clots by 50 per cent. Moreover, Fraiman said he and his team have conducted multiple autopsy studies that provide "essential conclusive evidence" that vaccines induce sudden cardiac death. "Schwab et al. study examined vaccine-induced myocarditis deaths, of 35 autopsies 20 days from vaccine, 5 likely or possibly vaccine myocarditis but another 8 deaths, under 65 no pre-existing conditions, total 13 (37 per cent) possibly vaccine-induced deaths, needs further investigations," he tweeted.

    Following quoted part of NDTV news dated November 29, 2022, In an Affidavit Centre to Supreme Court that Vaccine is Voluntary ? State government directly liable for extremely rare deaths ?... "In these facts, it is most humbly submitted that holding the State directly liable to provide compensation under the narrow scope of strict liability for extremely rare deaths occurring due to AEFIs from the use of vaccines may not be legally sustainable," the affidavit said." ///// It said the Centre has made substantial efforts in ensuring a safe and effective vaccination programme against COVID-19 in the middle of a highly challenging situation presented by the pandemic ///// The affidavit, filed by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), said there was no material to suggest how the State can be fastened with strict liability to compensate. //// It added there was no legal compulsion to obtain vaccination and that it was purely voluntary...

    Just a few days ago nearly 98-100 people died of heart related issues and cerebral strokes in a span of four days in Kanpur, and the doctors are saying it's because of the cold wave; as if people have not borne such temperatures in times gone by or is it temperatures went way below the average! No fool will accept this sort of reasoning! The logical answer points to only one and only one new entrant (not the virus, but the vaccines)! Authorities should have investigated by conducting random autopsies how so many deaths (like a mini pandemic), irrespective of age, happened within a city?? Definitely something has drastically gone wrong and they want to brush it under the carpet as soon as possible!

    A lot of money is needed for up coming elections so can not afford to waste money on such silly things. BTW, people have anyway died taking these medicines in india and abroad from Modi’s ‘Pharmacy of the World’. Elections and communal issues are more important to BJP govt than to meet public needs.
