It"s more than that. It"s about how we not only made the vaccine in the lab, it"s about various permissions and green signals given to scientists, it"s about the strong willpower of Modiji to make Atmanirbhar Bharat.

The Vaccine War itself is a substandard movie with purposely neglected and submerged facts. The vaccine story is indeed the success story of scientists, their hurdles, time schedules, and pressures, and how they overcame all these things.
 
The Vaccine War  
 
But it's not only that. It's also not about the victory against 'The Wire,' international toolkits, and their use by Modi opposers. It's not about victory over them by making them cry in PC or even the judgment to take down 14 stories against Bharat Biotech.
 
It's more than that. It's about how we not only made the vaccine in the lab, it's about various permissions and green signals given to scientists, it's about the strong willpower of Modiji to make Atmanirbhar Bharat.
 
In the background, it's about making unavailable resources available to the medical field, including PPE kits, or converting trains into hospitals, and the emergence of thousands of voluntary karyakartas.
 
It's about manufacturing, preserving, and distributing the entire lot, crores of doses, in a considerably short duration, despite the US blocking our ingredients in the middle of our efforts. It's about the largest vaccination drive, priorities given to the health workers, free arrangements through public and private hospitals. It's about Arogya Setu, Co-Win portal, digital appointments, and administering without digital appointments, and yes, privacy matters of Arogya Setu too, its handling.
 
More than this, it's about not registering and waiving the patent for Covaxin, pursuing WHO to keep the intellectual property of this kind free for the entire world, deeply believing in the concept Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.
 
Its about vaccinating 56% of citizens during peak, administering 1750 million doses compared to 550 million doses in US.
 
It's more about distributing OUR vaccines to 101 countries, some of them at no cost, thereby establishing Vaccination Diplomacy. Its about Modiji’s statesmanship, strategic planning and execution.
 
Its about from vaccine importer to vaccine expoerter supplying 162 million dosesto 99 countries out of which 14 million as grant in aid, 107 million commercially and 40 million to Covax initiative. About India exporting to Nepal, Myanman, Bangladesh and Iran under the Vaccine Maitri Programme.
 
Its more about the extraordinary leadership of Modiji. 
 
Vivek Agnihotri had such a large canvas to draw on, and what he focussed is journalist Raima Sen showing her more impressive just like the leftiest professor in Kashmir Files. (He created more impactful scenes of Pallavi Joshi in Kashmir Files more specifically the song Ham Dekhenge....) I suppose Vivek Agnihotri should read more and talk to many visioneries from present Govt and should draw the broader picture. Its high time we should praise such movies just potraying shallow image of the broader landscape. Somehow I doubt if it is done deliberately to substandard a great great picture.
