Coronavirus: India′s approval of local vaccines draws criticism | Asia| An in-depth look at news from across the continent | DW | 07.01.2021
Following criticism, Balram Bhargava, ICMR chief, said that Bharat Biotech’s vaccine had only been cleared in the “clinical trial mode.”
“Permission for restricted use in clinical trial mode has been allowed which means consent of participants has to be taken and there has to be a regular follow up of participants,” Bhargava said at a press conference on Tuesday.
Indian Health Minister Harsh Vardhan also clarified on Twitter that the emergency use approval for COVAXIN was “in clinical trial mode,” wherein all recipients of the vaccine would be tracked and monitored as if they are in trial.
Furthermore, the Health Ministry stressed that this is only an interim approval and the final one follows the completion of trials and the complete availability of data.
But the unusually cryptic language has left experts confused.
“They’ve introduced terminologies that are confusing,” Giridhar Babu, a professor of epidemiology at the Public Health Foundation of India, told Reuters. “The phrase ‘in clinical trial mode’ is not generally a term you will see in approvals.”
This view is shared by Srinath Reddy, president of the Public Health Foundation of India. “The regulator has not made clear what continuation in a clinical trial mode means. It is likely that this vaccine will prove to be effective, but the proof is not there yet, of a completed clinical trial. Let us hope it comes soon,” he told DW.
Army Activates DC National Guard to Capitol Building – The New York Times (Pence, not Trump asked)
The decision to mobilize the D.C. National Guard — by Secretary McCarthy and Christopher C. Miller, the acting defense secretary — came as a pro-Trump mob breached the Capitol earlier in the day.
Defense and administration officials said it was Vice President Mike Pence, not President Trump, who approved the order to deploy the D.C. National Guard. It was unclear why the president, who incited his supporters to storm the Capitol and who is still the commander in chief, did not give the order.
This View Made Me Hum
Last night while seated and sipping tea at my balcony with this view…
I started humming an old song sang by Drew Barrymore in her movie with the lines that goes something like this…
I’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I’ve been searching but I just don’t see the signs
I know that it’s out there
There’s got to be something for my soul somewhere
I guess I should stop sitting out in my balcony at dusk, this awesome view is making me mushy, sappy and crazy. Haha!
Felicidade
“The essence of life is happiness […] anyone who does not risk finding it, dies of suffering and sadness.”
“O essencial da vida é felicidade […] qualquer um que não arrisque encontrá-la, morre de sofrimento e tristeza.

BCSO investigating lieutenant who posted photos of herself among pro-Trump mob at U.S. Capitol – ExpressNews.com (Bexar County Sheriff – Texas)
“If she just stood by while first responders were assaulted, it would be more than just troubling, it would be downright infuriating,” Salazar said. “It makes you mad … if someone that wears a uniform just stood there, watched and took pictures.”
The sheriff, who is a registered Democrat, said his decision is based on discipline not on Mathai’s support of Donald Trump. If others think otherwise, Salazar said “sorry not sorry.”
Barr: Trump committed ‘betrayal of his office’ – POLITICO
Former Attorney General William Barr accused President Donald Trump on Thursday of a “betrayal of his office” — the latest rebuke of the president by a former high-ranking administration official after pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol.
“Orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress is inexcusable,” Barr said in a statement obtained by POLITICO. “The President’s conduct yesterday was a betrayal of his office and supporters.”
