Don’t you know, governments have to pay to vaccine providers the money. You are complaining as if India is first world country! Where do you get money from? They will rise taxes on petrol and liquor to take back that amount. Let the people who can afford pay. People pay thousands on cloths, shoes and restaurants. Can’t they pay for life saving drugs. Atleast those who can afford.
If vaccine companies don’t make profit there won’t be any vaccine companies left in India. Unless you want to go back to Indira Gandhi days where we had to beg for even food. Don’t do this, if you’re not successful in life don’t get jealous by other’s success, it’ll be the most unsuccessful people like you who will bear the brunt of socialism.
