The app for independent voices

Bari, in general I think this is a good post. However on a couple of things I think you need to dig a bit deeper and develop some nuance:

1. There are serious scientific questions/issues around vaccinating young people and children as well as vaccinating those who have already had COVID. I suggest you watch Darkhorse podcast 78 with Brett Weinstein and Heather Heyerling to bone up. Brett and Heather are both PhD evolutionary biologists who have spent considerable time and energy understanding these issues and trying to communicate them.

2. If one digs into the data about the current situation about India and normalize it with respect to population, the perspective is much less alarming than the media and the talking heads portray. Factor in the fact that India's healthcare system is chronically overloaded and unable to deal with much out of the ordinary and the picture changes even more. India needs help and we should help, but the perpetuating the current frenzy is the wrong way to go about it.
