vaccines to sell at exorbitant price felt this as a threat to their super profits . They managed to stop export of the vaccine raw material from US and Germany . Poonawala , the CEO of Serum Institute of India initially stated that with the present price also they get enough profits but later quoted different prices to Center and States and then escaped to UK from where he is quoting even higher prices . Bharat Biotech also followed suit in increasing the prices . The availability of vaccine raw materials only after the increase of prices show the clout of US , UK & German BigPharma like Pfizer , J & J , Modera over our national policies . By continuing our enmity with China , the imperialists are able to deny the possibility of importing from China various medical devices and vaccine raw material at the lowest possible prices . Even though vaccines from China are available at cheaper rates our governments are not in a position to import from it ; to approve Russian vaccine quickly . The government has promised that all vaccines will be provided by center but later back tracked and led the States to go for International bidding . It is easy to tell whose direct and indirect
12 influence led to these changes . The deaths of thousands of people due to delays in vaccine deliveries are small things in the competition between multinational companies for markets . The BigPharma company Sanofi , which has bought a majority stake in Santa biotech , a company with a long experience vaccine manufacturing , was able to move the vaccine manufacturing process out of India to keep high prices over vaccines . Thus , the future of the multi-billion-dollar vaccine business is well underway in the time of crisis . Conclusion :
The spread of Covid around the world is what many call ‘ plandemic ’, because it was intentionally allowed to become a pandemic . The world capitalist system is constantly looking at ways and means to escape from its natural crisis . Until now it ensured that the military budgets of the countries be increased to 40-50 percent of the GDPs of the respective countries ; Through World Bank the Capitalist system kept pressurising Governments to cut spending on education and medicine ; ensured public health systems are at the brink of collapse in the respective countries and forcing families to pay on their own for all their health needs .
Once public health has been monopolized by corporate medical companies , insurance companies and Big Pharma companies , governments are inevitably dictated by them over Vaccine budgets looting Billions of dollars . To rejuvenate the sluggish production and consumption , created by the pervasive capitalist crisis , in all possible areas , the capitalist system has used this pandemic and created an inevitable situation for families to spend all that they have saved for their future , to survive now ; mitigating the crisis in some sectors with the super profits in others . This brought a change only in the order of Forbes Billionaires list at the national and international level . For now , owners of vaccine and pharma companies are moving up the ladder . while lakhs of people are continuously pulled into poverty due to their illness , this ‘ plandemic ’ has so designed covid to add crores of people into the army of the poor . The solution is establishment of a new democratic system that can guarantee education , medicine , social security and abolish exploitative policies . v
