　　According to local media reports, the epidemic in India has been in the losing stage. In the capital, New Delhi, almost every 300 seconds, one person will die because of COVID-19.

　　According to the analysis of many foreign media, the epidemic situation in COVID-19 in India is so serious. On the one hand, the successful research and development of various vaccines led to the relaxation of epidemic prevention in India. On the other hand, the United States, as an important importer of medical raw materials in India, started the National Defense Production Law early, and restricted the export of vaccine raw materials for a long time, which led to the lack of medical care and medicine in India.

　　India urgently needs vaccine raw materials, but the United States turns a deaf ear.

　　△ Adar Poonawalla, CEO of the Indian Serum Institute, posted a message on social media, "pleading" with US President Biden to lift the ban on the export of vaccine raw materials in India.

　　The world’s largest vaccine manufacturer — — Adar Poonawalla, CEO of India Serum Research Institute, posted a message on social media on April 16th, "pleading" Biden’s government to lift the ban on India’s export of vaccine raw materials in order to increase India’s vaccine production. Reuters also revealed earlier that the foreign ministers of India and the United States also mentioned lifting the import ban during their talks on April 19th. However, the United States has never responded to this.

　　It was not until 22nd that a reporter’s question at the White House press conference broke the silence of the United States for the first time, although the United States was still pushing each other.

　　According to the minutes of the press conference that day, US State Department spokesman Ned Price first pushed the question to the Office of the US Trade Representative in response, saying that it was within their authority. After facing the reporter’s unrelenting questioning, Price said "the truth".

　　△ US local media reported that at the press conference that day, Price once again emphasized "US priority" and refused to export vaccine raw materials to India on this ground.

　　Price first said that the United States focused on controlling the epidemic in the United States, giving priority to vaccinating the American people, and stressed that the American approach was "ambitious", "fruitful" and "successful". Later, he continued to argue: "We do this for several reasons. First, we have a special responsibility to the American people. Second, in the United States alone, more than 550,000 people have died and tens of millions have been infected. The American people have been hit harder by the epidemic than other countries in the world. " Finally, he concluded: "It is not only in the interests of the United States to vaccinate Americans, but also in the interests of other countries in the world."

　　Indian media criticized the United States for making "vague verbal promises"

　　△ "The Times of India" published an article entitled "The United States made vague verbal commitments because it was criticized for turning a deaf ear to the COVID-19 epidemic in India" on the 23rd.

　　This speech instantly detonated the anger in India. The Times of India issued a document for two consecutive days, criticizing the U.S. government for turning a deaf ear to the Indian epidemic, saying that the so-called guarantee of the United States is only a "vague verbal promise" and pointing out that the Biden administration has done almost nothing except verbal sympathy.

　　△ "The Times of India" published another article on the 24th, saying that the Biden administration was cold-hearted about India’s urgent need for COVID-19 vaccine raw materials.

　　According to a report by Washington post on the 24th, only 1.4% people in India have been vaccinated, and overcrowded hospitals are facing the problem of lack of oxygen, while the United States is enjoying a spring full of vaccines. What makes the Indian people even more angry is that the United States would rather throw the extra vaccine in the warehouse like this than export the raw materials for vaccine production to India.

　　△ The New York Times reported on March 11 that the United States is sitting on the tens of millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccine that the world urgently needs.

　　On March 11th, The New York Times quoted an official familiar with the matter as saying that more than 30 million doses of vaccine were idle in a warehouse in Ohio, USA, and no one had ever used it. The Axios News Network of the United States commented that "when billions of people around the world are anxiously waiting for vaccines, 30 million doses of vaccines are eating ash in Ohio warehouses."

　　Indian netizens accused the US of being "hypocritical", "diplomatic rhetoric" and "untrustworthy"

　　△ Indian netizens accuse the United States of selfish behavior

　　Under the video of Price’s speech, an Indian netizen commented, "History will remember that a country with a population of 1.4 billion has helped more than 90 countries, while a so-called superpower is sitting on piles of vaccines. We won’t forget it, @ President of the United States ".

　　△ Indian netizens talked about India’s previous aid to COVID-19 drugs in the United States, but now the United States has turned a blind eye to India.

　　A netizen even turned over the old account and left a message: "When India itself was experiencing a serious COVID-19 epidemic, the United States successfully obtained hydroxychloroquine from India (which was previously considered as a specific drug for treating COVID-19, but was later confirmed by WHO to be almost ineffective). Now the United States is still banning the supply of vaccine raw materials to India. Obviously, the United States has become the most untrustworthy country on earth. "

　　In the case of accusations from all sides and the growing epidemic in India, it was not until the 25th that US President Biden and Vice President Harris began to formally respond, saying that they would provide assistance to India.

　　△ The Vice President of the United States posted a message on his personal social account on 25th local time, saying that he would support India in fighting the COVID-19 epidemic.

　　However, the Indian people who have been deceived and ignored for a long time obviously don’t buy it. A large number of Indian netizens commented that this move is still "hypocritical", "diplomatic rhetoric" and "untrustworthy", and they are still full of doubts about the US statement.

　　△ Indian netizens said that Harris’s move was just diplomatic rhetoric and could not be trusted.

　　△ Indian netizens replied that we need more details. Please don’t continue to publish such diplomatic rhetoric. We need actions, not "so-called statements".

　　The epidemic situation of COVID-19 in India is getting more and more serious, but the aid of the United States is far away

　　While the Indian people are still waiting for American aid in the epidemic, the epidemic in India has developed into a frightening situation.

　　△ABC reported that the epidemic situation in India continued to intensify, and crematoriums in many places had been cremated by burning bodies in the open air.

　　According to foreign media reports, in some crematoriums in India, the metal parts began to melt because of the long running time of gas stoves and wood stoves, and cremation stoves were damaged because of too many bodies to be burned. A large number of bodies could only be burned in the most primitive way. In many hospitals in India, there have been many suffocation accidents caused by lack of oxygen recently.

　　△ CNN published on the 26 th entitled "The COVID-19 epidemic in India is more severe. Two of the US diplomats in India died and more than 100 people tested positive for COVID-19."

　　CNN quoted diplomats working in the US Embassy in India as saying: All the staff were deeply frustrated, and even the staff of the US Embassy could only get vague statements before the actual assistance from the United States arrived.
