"I got to watch #thevaccinewar here in San Jose," a user said. There was @vivekagnihotri. The audience was stunned by this devastating insight. How the media has discredited and minimised Indian efforts towards a worldwide cause! You'll be furious with @raimasen. It was asked of her to be cruel and dishonest. When she awoke, she decided to kill the part. Her entire conversation is poisonous! Acting as a scientist is #pallavijoshi. who is incredibly kind, sensitive, and diligent. This role resonates with all mothers. Every female character in the movie embodies the courage and tenacity that women needed to kill the Covid! You'll think that India deserves the Nobel Prize after seeing this! We provided immunisations to over 100 countries! We are far more effective than others!"
