In Delhi, protests continue over the alleged gang rape, murder, and forced cremation of a nine-year-old girl. In 2019, @Jayati1609 lamented the descent of the world's most populous democracy into irrationality, xenophobia, and violence. https://bit.ly/3fwcrRC
Sad, scary, depressing - and true.

A call from @DrTedros to halt the obscenity of rich countries now grabbing booster vaccines, effectively denying most people in the worl their first shots.

A call from @DrTedros to end the obscenity of booster vaccines in the rich countries while most of the world striggles to get the first doses.

While we talk about third doses here, the whole African continent has only vaccinated 1.6% of its population. It can't be said enough: this is both wrong and stupid. Covax has failed. We need a #PeoplesVaccine now. https://www.devex.com/news/africa-not-on-track-for-10-covid-19-vaccination-rate-by-end-of-year-100519

Each booster is a #vaccine dose that could instead go to LMICs. But “instead of vaccinating the world & cutting off variants, rich countries seem prepared to fork over more $, and live in a state of endless fear.”

A story of Indian data in four acts:
Act I: hearing of the trouble people were having in accessing routine health services during the first lockdown, I looked up National Health Mission (NHM) Health Management Information System (HMIS) data and wrote this https://www.livemint.com/news/india/how-covid-19-response-disrupted-health-services-in-rural-india-11587713155817.html
Important thread that highlights continuing pervasive disparities and the unthinking cruelty of the privileged. The point is reaffirmed by insensitive comments below.

I remember how my school teachers would humiliate kids who didn't do their homework by asking "haven't you eaten today? If you dont forget to eat how did you forget to do the homework?''

One thing most economists agree on, regardless of their ideological persuasion, is the importance of #productivity increases. Yet aggregate productivity may be the most problematic of all economic concepts and full of conceptual holes, writes @Jayati1609.

Scholarship scheme for SC/ST girls shrouded in mystery, as is the Institute of Economic Growth (IEG) report allegedly invoked to discontinue it. IEG is stalling all requests for the report.
