The situation in India is dire and all variants associated with a surge need attention. But this man is 88 years-old, diabetic, two prior heart surgeries, and still had only mild symptoms (mild fever was reported) and is hospitalized out of caution likely because he is former PM.https://twitter.com/GabrielScally/status/1384452978086596616 …

My guess: No "escaped a catastrophe before" is a guarantee, and our explanations were too speculative. I think neither Brazil nor India had herd immunity (seroprevalence studies weren't random) and *every* nonimmune (unvaccinated) population is under risk. https://twitter.com/korystotesbery/status/1384874124376514562 …

@zeynep far from helping India, the US is blocking the export of critical raw materials for domestic vaccine manufacture in India. Help would be nice but we’d settle for the cessation of active sabotage and perpetuation of global vaccine inequity.https://twitter.com/swapneilparikh/status/1384600173641306113 … - End of conversation
