Why Indians Should Call Out Western World’s Vaccine Hypocrisy During a Pandemic

News 18  

In early February this year, there were two incidents that involved the people of India and the people of Barbados. That week, India had donated 100,000 free doses of vaccine to Barbados, enough to cover more than a third of that country’s population. Since early January, India has exported doses of vaccine to over 70 countries around the world. On the other hand, India had appealed that in view of the truly unprecedented global situation, countries around the world should temporarily suspend intellectual property rights with regards to the vaccine. But Indians everywhere, including the diaspora, have a duty to recognize the once-in-a-century opportunity to project India’s soft power across the world.
