The official COVID-19 death toll in India is reported to be around 429,000, but many researchers believe it is at least five times higher. India experienced a devastating wave of infections in April and May, and less than 10% of the population has been fully vaccinated. When we watch what's happening in the U.S. ... it is astounding that people who have access to vaccines are choosing not to get jabbed," says Barkha Dutt, an award-winning Indian television journalist and author. It's anti-science. It's self-indulgent. It's a very First World white privilege."
