...Foreign Ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi tweeted photos Tuesday of the first shipment of medical aid India received from Britain. It included 100 ventilators and 95 oxygen concentrators.

Other nations including the U.S., Germany, Israel and Pakistan have also promised medical aid. The countries have said they will supply oxygen, diagnostic tests, treatments, ventilators and protective gear to help India’s crisis, which World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called “beyond heartbreaking.”...

...France is sending breathing machines, ICU gear and eight oxygen generators in a shipment expected to be sent later this week. Each generator can equip a hospital of 250 beds for several years, French President Emmanuel Macron’s office said.

France will also send breathing machines, pumps and containers of liquid medical oxygen aimed at helping up to 10,000 patients per day, according to the French Foreign Ministry.

The White House was moving to share raw materials for the AstraZeneca vaccine by diverting some U.S. orders to the Serum Institute of India... the administration was working on other requests for personal protective equipment, tests and oxygen supplies...

I want to know how this plays into the ivermectin narrative. It was my understanding India was also liberally applying HCQ and other therapeutics?

We need to stop all flights from India and China.

This is all propaganda from the globalists. There is no massive spike in Wuhan flu in India. I have Indian friends who own a lot of motels and stores in my town. They have all told me it’s bull. It’s the same thing they have been doing here.

Quinine pills I remember from 70 years ago as a child growing up in in india. At that time it was to fight malaria.

🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m mixed on this. Yes we need to be stringent about travel — but I also don’t want vaccine passports? Are people at least tested?

Most new cases are caused by a double and triple variant. Doesn’t seem to be as deadly, as long as they have oxygen; but highly transmissible.

Sounds like they need help. Why don’t we send all Indian workers home to India to help out—cancel all work visas, etc. These workers come with US knowledge, US sanitation, and US hygene experience. All of these can help a cesspool country like India.

“As long as they have oxygen” is a big deal.

I beg to disagree - this isn’t even debatable. India had Max 400K active cases at the peak in 2020. Now it’s over 2.5 million active cases. Just saying ...

We could help India far more by sending over street cleaning machines, flush toilets, and building them sewage treatment plants.

Basic hygiene.

Just saying the uncomfortable truth - India is a pest hole.

The US has 1,766 deaths per million of our population, India has a death rate of 145 per million. To me all the hysteria is fake.

China has been stopped. Hell, there is still a flight ban from the UK and EU of all the Covid countries, ONLY Indian flights are allowed. There are still employed Americans that need to be replaced and made unemployed by Indian H1B scumbags

Once back in India, they will still crap anywhere on the streets. It’s in the Indian culture.

They sure don’t practice American hygiene (or any western hygiene) standards. There was a running joke in Singapore, Germany and the UAE about what smelt worse? A pile of crap or an Indian. The Indian always smelt worse. Axe is their soap.

That is absolutely the reason.

I want to know how this plays into the ivermectin narrative.

I heard, and admittedly this just might be internet lore, that India stopped utilizing Ivermectin (and probably HCQ) when they started their vaccine program a few weeks ago. Then the CoVid cases spiked up.
And now they’ve started using Ivermectin again, and the cases are going down.

—————-
Indians have been caught in three countries thus far faking negative covid tests - in Singapore, in Hong Kong and in the UK.

Wouldn’t trust ANY negative test coming out of there

The states in India using HCQ and IVM are suffering a tenth of the death toll of Maharashtra and Delhi where Remdesivir was used in many hospitals instead (WHO/Western recommendations in general).
