Each batch takes 4 months, says Covaxin manufacturer Bharat Biotech.
Amid claims by the Centre that “all Indians” would be vaccinated by the year end, Bharat Biotech, the manufacturer of Covaxin, has disclosed that it takes 120 days — or about four months — for a manufactured batch of vaccines to be released for supply. “Thus, production batches of Covaxin that were initiated during March this year will be ready for supply only during the month of June,” the company said in a statement on Friday.

How journalists are exposing India's true Covid-19 death toll — Quartz India


May 27, 2021
When Rajesh Pathak’s wife took their daughter to get tested for Covid-19 at a Gandhinagar hospital on April 1, she saw two plastic-covered dead bodies being moved out of the premises. That day, the government figures listed zero Covid deaths in Gandhinagar. The situation alarmed Pathak, resident editor of a 98-year-old local newspaper Sandesh’s Ahmedabad edition.
Pathak sent his reporters digging. Sandesh journalists talked to sources at the biggest hospital in the state’s biggest city—the 1,200 bed Civil Hospital in Ahmedabad inaugurated by prime minister Narendra Modi in March 2019. With every conversation, their suspicions became clearer: there was a glaring gap in the Covid death counting at the facility.

COVID-19 and India's New Viral Necropolitics


COVID-19 and India’s New Viral Necropolitics
The pandemic has devastated the lives of Indians across classes and castes but will it help shape a new intersectional approach to public health and politics?

Necropolitics (2019), Cameroonian philosopher Achille Mbembe describes the power of ‘liberal’ democracies – which never addressed or abandoned their founding violence of dispossession, exploitation, and extraction – to give death and withhold death as the sovereign rite of regulating life. This “necropower” is exercised not only through spectacular, if occasional, forms of terror but also by inflicting “small doses” of death on people living “at the edge of life”.

In an interview with
The Hindu after he led the Left Democratic Front (LDF) back to power for a second consecutive term in Kerala, Mr. Vijayan said the electoral victory of the LDF in Kerala and the ascension to power of the DMK alliance in Tamil Nadu had buoyed the prospects of a national alternative to the BJP at the Centre. “So, certainly alternatives will emerge,” he said.

Why We Should Collectively Mourn the COVID Dead


Why We Should Collectively Mourn the COVID Dead
To have the state acknowledge the deaths might well give us the necessary sense of purpose we need to surmount this period in time.

In the past month or so, there have been repeated news reports of how entire pages in newspapers are filled with obituaries, how attempts to number the dead are failing and journalists are trying to put together numbers by counting the dead listed in hospital registers, those awaiting their final rites in ambulances outside cremation grounds and cemeteries, and so on. There is no certainty about how many have died and while we publish a set of numbers every day, those are recognised to be only a part of the whole, a whole we are never likely to know.
