We have to do something, Biden s campaign fundraiser urged him to speak to PM Modi (File)
Washington:
The Biden administration has come under intense pressure from various quarters, including the powerful US Chambers of Commerce, lawmakers and eminent Indian-Americans, to ship AstraZeneca and other COVID-19 vaccines along with several life-saving medical supplies to India, which is witnessing a deadly surge in coronavirus cases. As the Covid pandemic inflicts a heavy toll on countries around the globe, the US Chamber strongly encourages the administration to release the millions of AstraZeneca vaccine doses in storage - as well as other life-saving support - for shipment to India, Brazil, and other nations hard-hit by the pandemic, said Myron Brilliante, executive vice-president and head of international affairs at the US Chamber of Commerce.

The Biden administration has come under intense pressure over the unused vaccines that the US has stored and is not giving to countries that are in dire need. According to the Gravel Institute, a US think tank, the country has access to 30 million AstraZeneca vaccines which it can share with countries hard-hit with COVID-19 like India, Brazil and others.
The U.S. government is sitting on 30 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine. Even though it s not using the vaccines, it refuses to give them to other countries where people are dying in huge numbers. The U.S. government is committing mass murder.
