India COVID-19 death toll climbs amid oxygen shortages The true numbers are being suppressed
India s relatively low fatality rate doesn t tell the whole story and suspicions abound that there s substantial undercounting in several states.
Suspected cases are not being added to the final count and deaths from the infection are being credited to underlying health conditions, point out observers. There appears to be a wide discrepancy between official records of deaths attributed to COVID-19 and reports of cremations and burials that are many multiples of what might normally have been expected, Gautam Menon, a professor of physics and biology at Ashoka University, told DW.

New Delhi: A national association of doctors and scientists have accused the Centre of lending the COVID-19 vaccination drive to “profiteering” by private companies rather than ensuring public financing of the programme.
In a statement, the Progressive Medicos and Scientists Forum said on Wednesday that the Centre’s move is “bound to lend the vaccine prices to market manipulation for maximising private profits”.
“Rather than ensuring entirely public financing of vaccination, which makes far better epidemiological and economic sense, the government has lent even the vaccination drive to profiteering by private companies by announcing that 50 per cent of all the doses shall now be routed through the open market.”
