On this edition of ThePrint's Off The Cuff, Prof (Dr) Balram Bhargava, Director General, ICMR, tells Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta about why he decided to write the book 'Going Viral: The Inside Story of Covaxin', documenting the challenges of developing India's indigenous Covid vaccine.
Bhargava also talks about the fascination of having isolated the virus in India for the first time, catching monkeys from forests for animal trials, and his one regret through the pandemic.

We need more people like Dr Bhargava in our country, such a good interview
th-cam.com/video/8Jqx-6CMLM4/w-d-xo.html
Such a down to earth person he is, I visited him many times while accompanying my uncle for routine consultation in AIIMS New Delhi. He was a professor in department of cardiology and regularly used to see patients in OPD. Later I came to know that he is such a big shot.
Thank you Dr Bharghava. His calm demeanor must have been a great boon to his team.Thanks to Print for the interview

Hey Shekhar, can we please do another session with the Dr post- COVID in 2024 do that we understand what we should do in the next round and what are some learnings
Brilliant this why I ❤️ The Print

Great interview! A lot to learn from people like him. When he says he should have been a better communicator during the whole process, disclosing that himself is not a public health specialist but got a great team behind and giving credits to everyone who was behind the development phase of the vaccine... How can a person be more humble Thank you so much sir
th-cam.com/video/8Jqx-6CMLM4/w-d-xo.html
Bravo!! What prowess!!!
Wow!! So much of poise &composure! Very deftly held each question. Wonderful to see you and hear your candid responses !!!

Who all are here after watching Nana Patekar as Dr. Bhargava in the vaccine war?
An excellent interview. Dr.Bhargava is a very calm and reassuring person. That’s what is needed in the current situation. He gave concise answers based on science.

Fantastic interview
th-cam.com/video/8Jqx-6CMLM4/w-d-xo.html
26:13 - 28:25 that view surprised me. Then I remembered thats how scientists are. They are humble and can say, "I dont know".
th-cam.com/video/8Jqx-6CMLM4/w-d-xo.html
My disciplined brain when i saw the lady in the middle :- Yeh konsa tariqa hai baithne ka, seedhe baitho
5 minutes in and I can tell I’m going to enjoy this conversation
Listen to harris sultan and ghalib kamal they both are rational thinkers
th-cam.com/video/8Jqx-6CMLM4/w-d-xo.html
Great Discussion. Such discussions help in building a better imagery of what goes behind the scenes and increases confidence in India's capabilities. Looking forward to reading the book now. Thank You Dr. Bhagava. Thank You Print.

Congratulations to you Sir 🙏
Harris sultan aur ghalib kamal ko suno wo real liberal aur rational thinker hai

Definitely one of the best OTC episode.Totally worth the time and Dr Bhargava was absolutely on point and precise in his answers
Great interview. Dr Bhargava gave very insightful and succinct answers. Though it looks like he would rather avoid the political questions like why ivermectin and hcq were approved by the ICMR
th-cam.com/video/8Jqx-6CMLM4/w-d-xo.html
Sir love your journalism, much better than Arnab and Ravish
What a lucid exchange of information

Who come to watch Nana vai The Vaccine war Movie
like it
Excellent interview. But Shekhar ji you have interrupted the doctor many times.
th-cam.com/video/8Jqx-6CMLM4/w-d-xo.html
Huge Respect for him and Shame on Our Indian Media specially The WIRE
🙌 to ICMR. One question that I thought could have asked was about the Efficacy of the Covid Pills recently released by Merck and Pfizer
th-cam.com/video/8Jqx-6CMLM4/w-d-xo.html
Shekhar JI , Do OTC with Aakar Patel on his latest book!
Thank you Dr Bhargava and The Print. It was a nice off the cuff.
The print I request you to do atleast one segment on Andhra politics. They stoop so low on morale someone has to speak about this at national level
I was satisfied by most of doctor's answer except the pfizer/moderna vaccine availability.
th-cam.com/video/8Jqx-6CMLM4/w-d-xo.html
It's an Akshay Kumar movie waiting to happen 😀. Great Job ICMR 👍

Can you please make a video on what has happened on the Swachh Bharat front. We are paying Swachh Bharat cess from years after Modi govt came into power and this would have run into thousands of crores of tax money collection every year. but we don't see any difference at all in out surroundings, in fact our cities are more dirtier than ever today. What is happening with this cess that is collected?
Toilets are made using that fund . Reaching almost 100%
People like Mr. Bhargava should be promoted to join politics after retiring and other things will automatically fall into place
@@AbdulSamad-jw6xq agreed, this was more of a whim to see politics being run by educated and scientific community. Very far fetched....
@@AbdulSamad-jw6xq thats sad downsides of democracies. Technocratic govt should evolve.
Listen to harris sultan and ghalib kamal they are real liberals and rational thinkers
@@AbdulSamad-jw6xq lol islamist explaining liberalism ho and check there content ABDUL
@@AbdulSamad-jw6xq Technocracy means People who are expert in their fields and solve social probs. Chck wiki. We need experts to run the govt.
Nas daily in YT would have spoken nice about what technocracy means.
Beauracracy are corrupt only because of the politicians.
The problem with democracy is if you dont have knowledge but elected by people it will have downfall.
We need people who are qualified because they are the actual backbone working for the country. Do you think Modi can derive Farm laws? No, its the IAS officers done that but there are also scientists. So Scientists can be technocrats.
Rajya sabha is a shit! No experts are taken. There are wastage of money keeping tonnes of election.
To do right thing so caste problem get solved we cant achieve through Democracy because that people will hate.. so Politicians cant get that vote. There are downsides.
We need people to run the govt who are expert.
what is ICMR ?
Harris sultan and ghalib kamal ko suno
Why not ban growing and processing tobacco
Pakistani mulhid , harris sultan , ghalib kamal ko suno they are real liberal and rational thinkers
You forgot to mention the name of CUBA. They have prepared several vaccines for SARS-COv-2. dr. akbar
Shekar Gupta is the same person who was bashing Dr Bhargav when he announced that ICMR will develop the vaccine in a short period of time.
Shekhar was the one criticising him and playing his credibility down. #Hypocrisy ki bhi seema hothi hai The Wire

Great interview. I hope you got some of your answers about why government did not give approval to modarna and pFizer vaccine for which you criticized the government gravely
th-cam.com/video/8Jqx-6CMLM4/w-d-xo.html
Why don't govt ban tobacco and alcohol
Shekhar Gupta called Covaxin a bullock cart and Covisheild a Lamborghini. Why shamelessly interviewing bullock cart makers venomous Shekhar ji 🙏
Why is Covaxin costlier than covishield if it’s frugal inventions ? Covaxin also did not submit data on time
@V B covaxin by your logic should be cheaper. If the technology is developed thru ICMR then tech fees should be lower. My guess is that Bharat Biotech has many production issues and the rate of rejection are higher- especially since the it’s a inactive virus, it needs to be ensured that it is really inactive but there could be issues of virus cultivation
@V B so why is Dr Bharghava talking about this as frugal innovation. Given our population we would need scalable production. Today about 9 percent is covaxin while 91 percent is covishield. We could have done better by ordering more covishield instead of betting on covaxin. It is surprising that after more than 7 months of EUA covaxin has not been able to scale up
The real issue is that clinicians like Dr Bhargava are taking decisions rather than epidemiology experts. Remember Bhargava kept on talking of 3 wave in august, then sept then Oct now he says it’s difficult
@V B I understand why it cannot be scaled (somewhat) but then it’s an inappropriate vaccine for india. MfG costs are high and production cannot be scaled. Indian vaccination program needs both these features. What was covaxin issue with data ? No one has clarified ?? What extra info did WHO need? Was it production related. ? Efficacy and safety had already been established !
Tobacco kills 😕
What the heck was the coronavirus image? You guys cudnt get a tiff file from ICMR for this? It's a joke on the scientists of India.
India have to move from Democracy to Technocratic government where Knowledge people will be leaders and as Knowledge people are there so we can less the Protests because of disinformation. Its sick after farm laws went wrong I feel Democracy is making development slow.
We cant Make like these wise people as Leaders because People dont vote them.
Listen to harris sultan and ghalib kamal they are true rational thinkers
@@AbdulSamad-jw6xq yaar bhaiya aap toh sach mein rational Thinker ho
@@AbdulSamad-jw6xq lol 1st go n watch their Content your religion is fake just like all other 1000 religions
This guy(the interviewer) have two sides such a shameless person, from start to till this video what ever he has done is just to pull back Indian Scientists.
Actor's , Cricketer's Are Soo Selfish , Greedy That They Can Promote Things That Are Harmful For Health .
They don't understand their social responsibility. People should educate themselves and stop getting influenced by these Entertainer's , Double Face Individuals . 😐
