UK's Stand on Indian Vaccine Certificates is Arbitrary, Reeks of Colonial Bias

News 18  

It has been 74 years since the British were forced to leave India, but the colonial hangover continues. He said at a media briefing the next day that India could think of “reciprocal measures” against the nations which don’t recognize our country’s vaccine certification. A British High Commission spokesperson said after the earlier rejection raised a firestorm in India: “We are engaging with the government of India to explore how we could expand UK recognition of vaccine certification to people vaccinated by a relevant public health body in India.” It needs to be mentioned here that it is not the first time that the UK has been accused of vaccine discrimination against Indians. BBC reported last month, “The World Health Organization said it has identified counterfeit versions of India’s primary Covid vaccine, Covishield.” Further, the report said, “The doses were seized by authorities in India and Africa between July and August, a WHO statement said. It also said the vaccine’s maker, Serum Institute of India, confirmed that the doses were fake.” Whatever may be the truth about counterfeit vaccines, it cannot be brushed under the carpet.
