WHO will the world believe?

"In a big embarrassment for the country, Uzbekistan has claimed that at least 18 children have died after allegedly consuming cough syrup made in India. The Health Ministry of Uzbekistan has issued a statement stating that the children who died had consumed cough syrup Dok-1 Max - manufactured by Noida-based Marion Biotech." Zee. In October, "Gambia's government...said the number of child deaths from acute kidney injury , thought to be linked to Indian-made cough syrups, has risen to 70 from a previous toll of 69." Reuters. "The syrups were found to be made by New Delhi-based Maiden Pharmaceuticals Ltd." The Indian government never accepts any deaths. For instance, "More than 4.7 million people in India - nearly 10 times higher than official records suggest - are thought to have died of Covid-19, according to a new World health Organization (WHO) report." BBC. (Even that could be a serious undercount as car parks turned into funeral pyres last year. TOI). "India's government rejected the figure, saying the methodology is flawed." So, "Announcing that samples of four cough and cold syrups manufactured by Maiden Pharmaceuticals Ltd - an Indian firm - that were linked to the deaths of 66 children in Gambia have been found to be of standard quality, the government in a letter slammed WHO for failing to substantiate its charge that the India-made products caused the deaths in the African country." TOI. How to make friends, with Indian characteristics. However, "The WHO has said it stands by its action after India said that four cough syrups linked to child deaths in The Gambia complied with specifications when tested at home." BBC. "The WHO had issued an alert in October." It is obvious which report the world will believe. It is no consolation, but Gambia and Uzbekistan should understand that the lives of Indian citizens are even cheaper. "More than 130 people died, mostly women, children, and the elderly, after a suspension bridge, noted to be an 'engineering marvel', on Machchhu River in Gujarat's Morbi city collapsed..., days after it was reopened after renovation." News18. "The contractor seems to have just painted and polished all the cables ahead of the bridge being reopened to the public on October 26," a police official said." TOI. "The Rs 17 pass (Rs 12 for children) for a walk down the famous bridge turned out to be a death sentence for many." TNIE. Sources claimed that "around 650 tickets for the bridge had been sold ...when the bridge could only handle 150 to 200 people at a time." Rs 12 for the price of a child. Bridges and medicines have one thing in common: they are scientific products. And, science is being recreated. "A scientific conference organised by the Union government has drawn sharp criticism from a section of scientists for promoting non-science such as 'Panchmahabhoot as fundamental blocks of the universe instead of atoms' and the existence of 'ether' that was discarded by modern science nearly 150 years ago." DH. 'Panch' means 'five', 'maha' means 'big' and 'bhoot' means 'spirit'. Perhaps all of us will be transformed into spirits. Only they will prevail.
