    1 Crore vaccines? First India should devise its own Covid 19 testing standard or devise. Little cold due to rain or weather changes these high sensitive RTPCR tests seems reporting as positive. 97% plus cases are mild cases. In December 2020, Communist leaning WHO had changed guildlines to reduce this RT-PCR Cycle threshold from 40 to 35, just before new US President installation but within a month later this document has removed and WHO has replaced with a updated document to cover their back. because of so many people raised a concern regarding integrity of tests and timing. This tests mainly for stats so globalist financed media can hype fear of virus and push people to go for globalists vaccines, so innocent people succumb to their unending viruses and vaccines nightmare. What awaits us due economic fallout of shutdowns and this vaccines fallout God only knows. This is what Communists chinese, left leaning WHO, Globalists and their control media playing with we indians after playing with trump administration and removing him from power to make china number one and to bring much depopulated new world world with the help of eugenics globalists, or one world government.
