    Doctors could have save themselves. To much depend on communist WHO, Big Pharma and their injections these things bound to happen. Some Autopsies would have definitely shown light on affected body parts, other available treatments or drugs to treat these cases. That's why these communist leaning WHO discourage autopsies, alternate treatments, so to push their BigPharma expensive drugs and vaccines. Communist chinese might be using hiv plus malaria or sars or mers make it lethal, experiment on animals to create viruses and release and then name it novel coronavirus alpha beta... Could also be hiv plus ebola in the future, that's what these liberal communist do research also as per Divine messages using hiv as base to keep infection round the year or with elites vaccines to create different spike proteins to generate deadly variants to further promote their vaccine or booster business and online businesses same time trying to control the world by collapsing economies of nations because of these virus fear shutdowns. Finally to bring their communist controlled new world order. That's what all about viruses and vaccines to control depopulate, enslave humanity and rule .

    Sad to know high price paid by our frontline warriors . Doctors didn't get much sleep and rest due to overwhelmed health care system due to sending many doctors and nurses on leave other than covid treating and only a few hospitals were allowed to treat in the first phase. Another point to be noted is they too followed ICMR approved drugs and protocols which along with wearing of masks, shields and PPE kits stressed them reducing their immunity and unacceptable deaths. In the second wave they are better trained than last year and more hospitals are open but govt hospitals again were overburdened as more poor people thronged them. Another thing to be investigated whether they became sick after vaccinations or they caused their deaths either due to lowering of immunity or adverse vaccine injuries caused them? Halt & Proceed is a road sign, with no pilot studies in a few places instead of all over the country now it is too late for frontline warriors but majority of people aren't vaccinated and a halt to evaluate vaccine drive is to be considered as German doctor and scientist who was in Gates Foundation has written letters to WHO and many govts to stop them to prevent mutation of present strain and becoming more contagious and virulent. I'm afraid unless we take the above steps we would lose more frontline warriors in this phase.

    Communist chinese and globalists idea of suggesting vaccinating health / frontline warriors in the name of high risk category looks like create more chaos and shortages of personnel when they release stronger viruses then when more chaos they could enter easily and control with their vast army ?
