Foreign conspiracy to defame India will fail

Change is the rule of the world, the American portal The New York Times has taken it so seriously that it has now become synonymous with fake news, erasing the influence of Whatsapp and Whatsapp University, to establish its hegemony in the spread of fake facts and news. Is. It has always been making its failed attempts to humiliate India. Whether it is spreading fake news during the Corona pandemic or opposing Modi, the New York Times has been at the top in all these matters. Meanwhile, this frustrated magazine once again expressed its frustration about India, on which the Union Health Ministry has imposed its Lanka.
In fact, the New York Times wrote an article titled India Is Stalling WHO’s Efforts to Make Global Covid Death Toll Public, in which it was reported that India has shared its concerns with the global health body on several occasions. Along with this, questions were also raised in that article about the figures of deaths during Kovid in India quoting the World Health Organization. It was also said in the New York Times article about India that India showed laxity in Kovid management, due to which lakhs of people died. After which now the Ministry of Health has given a befitting reply to the World Health Organization as well as the New York Times.
The Union Health Ministry on Saturday questioned the World Health Organization’s methodology for estimating the COVID-19 mortality rate in the country, saying the death figures for such a vast nation of geographic size and population could be used by using such mathematical modeling. cannot be applied to estimate. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said that India has shared concerns related to methodology with other member countries through various dialogues including letters issued to WHO.
India has raised specific questions with China, Iran, Bangladesh, Syria, Ethiopia and Egypt regarding the methodology and use of informal access to data. India has expressed its concern that how the statistical model projects estimates for India’s densely populated country, as the model fits other countries with less population, but may not apply to India with a population of 1.3 billion. Huh.
India had expressed concern about the methodology
The Union Health Ministry said that this model uses data from Tier-1 countries and when it uses unverified data from 18 Indian states, there is a significant difference in the estimates of deaths. Such a wide margin raises questions about the estimation, validity and accuracy of such models. The infection rate during testing for COVID-19 in India was not uniform across the country at any point in time. But this change in the COVID-19 infection rate within India was not noticed during the modeling. Notably, according to the Ministry of Health, India had shared its concerns regarding the methodology with other member countries, including six letters issued to the WHO (November 17, December 20, 2021; December 28, 2021; January 11). , 2022; February 12, 2022 and March 2, 2022).
Simultaneously December 16, 2021; December 28, 2021; January 6, 2022; Meetings were held on 25 February 2022 and a webinar was held on 10 February 2022 with the South-East Asia Regional Office (SEARO). The Health Ministry said, India has conducted COVID-19 testing at a much faster rate than the WHO has advised. India has retained molecular testing as the preferred testing method and has used rapid antigen only for screening purposes. Whether these factors were used in the model for India is still unanswered.
The world is trying to defame India
However, India has always been ready to cooperate with WHO as such data sets will prove helpful from the point of view of policy making. India believes that broad clarity of methodology and clear evidence of its validity are important to reassure policy makers to use such data. Surprisingly, The New York Times could have reported higher COVID-19 mortality rates with respect to India, but was ‘unable to know estimates from other countries’!!
India has insisted that if the model is accurate and reliable, it should be validated by running it for all Tier I countries and the result of such an exercise should be shared with all member states. Whereas, from India “WHO has not yet shared the confidence intervals for the current statistical models in different countries. It is worth noting that there is an organized system across the world to spread misinformation and defame against India. The combination of fake news and coalition propaganda on news is a toolkit to attack the country. New York Times is a leading international news agency in the race to spread propaganda against our country, but this time India has taken the words of New York Times including WHO.
