US government jolts into action to aid India after criticism of silence

被批保持沉默后，美国政府突然采取行动援助印度

WASHINGTON: The US on Monday rolled out a series of supportive measures to help India’s titanic fight against the Covid-19 upsurge, including diverting raw material to the Serum Institute of India to manufacture vaccines, and rushing oxygen-generating systems and the drug Remdesivir, even as President Biden pledged America’s full support to provide emergency assistance and resources to New Delhi.

华盛顿：周一，美国推出了一系列援助措施，帮助印度抗击新冠肺炎疫情，包括向印度血清研究所提供生产疫苗的原材料，加快生产氧气系统和药物瑞德西韦，拜登总统承诺美国将全力向新德里提供紧急援助和资源。

Senior US administration officials outlined a series of steps to aid India’s fight after Biden phoned PM Modi to express sympathy and support after nearly three days of silence on the dire situation in India. “India was there for us, and we will be there for them,” Biden said in a tweet minutes after the phone call. Officials said the US was also deploying a CDC strike team to India to help the country’s efforts.

在拜登就印度的可怕局势沉默近3天之后，美国政府高级官员向莫迪总理表示同情和支持，并概述了一系列帮助印度对抗疫情的措施。拜登在通话几分钟后发推文说：“印度支持过我们，我们也会支持他们。”有关官员表示，美国还将向印度派遣一支CDC突击小组，以帮助印度。

The US, however, will not be directly supplying its unused stockpile of AstraZeneca vaccine — at least for now. White House officials said India had not asked for the vaccine and added that the FDA was yet to complete its safety review. Once that process is complete, about 10 million vaccines will become available for foreign supply (since the US will not be using AstraZeneca) and a further 50 million vaccines will be available by June-July.

然而，美国不会直接供应其未使用的阿斯利康疫苗库存——至少目前不会。白宫官员表示，印度尚未要求提供疫苗，并补充说，FDA尚未完成其安全性审查。一旦这一过程完成，大约1000万剂疫苗可供应外国(因为美国将不再使用阿斯利康)，到6 - 7月还有5000万剂疫苗到位。

White House National Security Council officials also declined to answer questions on the Indian request for a waiver of intellectual property and patent rights in relation to the fight against Covid, while confirming Modi had raised the matter in his phone conversation with Biden. They bumped the issue across to the US trade representative’s office.

白宫国家安全委员会官员也拒绝回答有关印度要求放弃与抗击新冠肺炎有关的知识产权和专利权的问题，但证实莫迪在与拜登的电话交谈中提出了这个问题。他们把这个问题转给了美国贸易代表办公室。

Biden/Kamala have shown their humanitarian side through Biden's courtesy telephone call to Modi and promise of “oxygen-related supplies, vaccine materials, and therapeutics”. Trump with his "America First" policy would not have done this.

拜登/卡玛拉出于礼貌，给莫迪打电话，承诺提供“氧气、疫苗材料和治疗方法”，展示了他们的人道主义一面。但特朗普的“美国优先”政策不允许这么做。

Divyansh Chaudhary

We must not forget we are in the middle of a pandemic, the same pandemic that killed thousands in the so-called developed world. No system or government is perfect and never be. The need of the hour is to come together and think of the greater good. No policy or action can be effective if people are not willing to follow Covid protocols. Let's support our leadership and together we can pass this difficult time. #JaiHind

我们正处于一场大流行之中，在所谓的发达国家，同样的疫情夺去了数千人的生命。没有一个体制或政府是完美的，现在最需要的是大家携手，为大局着想。如果人们不愿意遵守新冠预防规定，任何政策或行动都不可能奏效。我们要支持我们的领导，共同度过这段艰难的时期，印度必胜！

Raj S
