00:01:33,003 --> 00:01:37,855
This film is dedicated to all the scientists
who have worked to save humanity.
Specially, the women scientists of India.

2
00:02:03,679 --> 00:02:04,695
Stop the bike!

3
00:02:04,775 --> 00:02:06,010
- Don't come any closer, dude!
- Stop it.

4
00:02:06,090 --> 00:02:08,707
- I said don't come any closer!
- I'm saying...

5
00:02:10,234 --> 00:02:13,023
Stop, you bloody... stop!

6
00:02:17,224 --> 00:02:18,631
Don't let him slip away.

7
00:02:18,888 --> 00:02:20,353
Stop! Stop!

8
00:02:21,054 --> 00:02:22,067
Stop I say!

9
00:02:22,350 --> 00:02:23,766
Stop! Stop! Stop!

10
00:02:26,708 --> 00:02:27,891
I'm on emergency duty.

11
00:02:27,971 --> 00:02:29,974
The whole world is in an emergency.
Turn around.

12
00:02:30,054 --> 00:02:31,979
I'm on government duty.
Look.

13
00:02:33,081 --> 00:02:33,880
What's your job?

14
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:34,874
I'm a scientist.

15
00:02:34,954 --> 00:02:35,945
Rocket scientist?

16
00:02:36,114 --> 00:02:37,512
- I'm a virologist.
- What?

17
00:02:37,708 --> 00:02:38,926
I'm a virologist.

18
00:02:39,264 --> 00:02:40,817
What kind of science is that?

19
00:02:44,220 --> 00:02:45,895
You know corona, the virus?

20
00:02:45,975 --> 00:02:47,542
We're the ones trying to find its cure.

21
00:02:48,438 --> 00:02:49,234
He's making a fool out of us.

22
00:02:49,314 --> 00:02:50,412
- What are you doing?
- Get off the bike.

23
00:02:50,803 --> 00:02:51,737
Get off it!

24
00:02:51,817 --> 00:02:53,792
Go and sit on your heels over there. Move!

25
00:02:53,872 --> 00:02:55,856
- You can't misbehave with me like that.
- Go and squat like a chicken!

26
00:02:56,014 --> 00:02:57,816
Do it now!
Didn't you hear me?

27
00:02:58,087 --> 00:02:59,041
Do it!

28
00:02:59,121 --> 00:02:59,936
Do it now!

29
00:03:00,016 --> 00:03:01,645
Listen man, I'll do it.

30
00:03:01,725 --> 00:03:03,003
Why are you getting so angry?

31
00:03:03,083 --> 00:03:04,291
Squat like a chicken!

32
00:03:04,371 --> 00:03:05,417
Squat!

33
00:03:09,485 --> 00:03:10,495
Let's go!

34
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,457
You cannot leave home means
you cannot leave home!

35
00:03:14,730 --> 00:03:16,192
Why don't you guys get it!

36
00:03:16,696 --> 00:03:18,066
We're all going to die.

37
00:03:18,665 --> 00:03:19,706
Wait and watch...

38
00:03:20,244 --> 00:03:21,491
We're all going to die.

39
00:03:37,442 --> 00:03:41,199
A True Story

40
00:03:49,591 --> 00:03:55,052
I
Patient Zero

41
00:03:59,096 --> 00:04:02,596
Good Morning,
friends, how are you doing?

42
00:04:02,676 --> 00:04:05,437
I'm Sharath from Fever FM.

43
00:04:05,517 --> 00:04:07,692
Wishing you a very happy new year.

44
00:04:07,772 --> 00:04:10,934
I hope you had a blast
at the party last night.

45
00:04:11,084 --> 00:04:13,728
Partying in the Delhi winter
Is another experience altogether.

46
00:04:13,808 --> 00:04:16,116
We'll talk more on that later,

47
00:04:16,196 --> 00:04:20,781
But first, let's see what's in store
for the country this year.

48
00:04:20,861 --> 00:04:21,777
Happy New Year, sir.

49
00:04:21,857 --> 00:04:23,371
India is going to be the IT Hub this year.

50
00:04:23,451 --> 00:04:25,679
We're already the fastest-growing economy.

51
00:04:25,799 --> 00:04:29,803
And we're going to be
self-reliant in defense too.

52
00:04:29,965 --> 00:04:32,161
This year, we're going
to leave everyone else

53
00:04:32,241 --> 00:04:34,169
Behind in one thing,

54
00:04:34,249 --> 00:04:35,693
Population.

55
00:04:35,773 --> 00:04:37,489
Yes, you heard me right.

56
00:04:37,569 --> 00:04:41,959
It's possible that our population might
hit 1.4 billion this year,

57
00:04:44,650 --> 00:04:46,670
Sir, happy new year.

58
00:04:46,984 --> 00:04:48,910
- Happy new year, sir.
- Hmm.

59
00:04:48,990 --> 00:04:51,038
The Health Ministry called.

60
00:04:51,118 --> 00:04:52,930
They want to talk to you right away.

61
00:04:53,986 --> 00:04:55,624
- Put me through.
- Yes, sir.

62
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,128
Hello?

63
00:05:01,433 --> 00:05:02,611
Okay, sir.

64
00:05:04,438 --> 00:05:05,945
Tell Nivedita to come in.

65
00:05:06,077 --> 00:05:07,621
She's taken the day off, sir.

66
00:05:07,962 --> 00:05:09,168
Doesn't matter. Call her.

67
00:05:09,248 --> 00:05:10,324
Yes, sir.

68
00:05:12,527 --> 00:05:13,645
Enna...

69
00:05:13,765 --> 00:05:14,807
Yes, sir?

70
00:05:16,065 --> 00:05:17,651
- Happy Birthday.
- Sir?

71
00:05:19,549 --> 00:05:20,825
Happy New Year.

72
00:05:20,979 --> 00:05:22,333
Thank you, sir. Same to you.

73
00:05:22,626 --> 00:05:23,705
Hmm.

74
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,682
I was on leave today sir,
I had told you about it...

75
00:05:53,762 --> 00:05:54,843
Correct.

76
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,343
Nivedita, there's been a sudden increase

77
00:05:58,764 --> 00:06:01,468
in pneumonia cases in China.

78
00:06:02,094 --> 00:06:03,045
Sit.

79
00:06:04,576 --> 00:06:08,019
They're saying it may
or may not be pneumonia.

80
00:06:08,648 --> 00:06:10,318
They're claiming it's some unknown virus

81
00:06:11,019 --> 00:06:13,248
that started at Wuhan's seafood market.

82
00:06:13,328 --> 00:06:16,430
They discover lots
of such viruses in China.

83
00:06:16,741 --> 00:06:19,022
What do you expect?
They eat too many wild animals.

84
00:06:19,401 --> 00:06:23,456
What's weird is that the authorities

85
00:06:24,076 --> 00:06:26,970
shut down the Wuhan market indefinitely.

86
00:06:28,371 --> 00:06:31,690
If the first case was found in the Wuhan
seafood market on December 1st,

87
00:06:31,770 --> 00:06:34,583
it means the person was infected
before that, in November.

88
00:06:35,063 --> 00:06:37,001
That means the virus came

89
00:06:37,081 --> 00:06:39,103
to the market from somewhere else

90
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,412
before it spread there.

91
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,043
There's another important
Question,

92
00:06:44,547 --> 00:06:46,579
If the first case was
found on December 1st,

93
00:06:46,717 --> 00:06:49,603
why was this fact kept hidden
from the world for 4 weeks?

94
00:06:51,187 --> 00:06:55,705
And let's not forget that China's
BSL4 lab is in Wuhan.

95
00:06:57,337 --> 00:06:58,768
You think it's a lab leak?

96
00:07:02,306 --> 00:07:06,160
Our Health Ministry has organized
a conference for a briefing,

97
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:09,279
and some representatives from
the WHO will be there too.

98
00:07:09,658 --> 00:07:11,583
You should represent ICMR.

99
00:07:11,717 --> 00:07:13,460
Okay.
When do I need to be there?

100
00:07:14,655 --> 00:07:15,868
At 10:00.

101
00:07:18,214 --> 00:07:19,503
It's already 11:30, sir.

102
00:07:19,583 --> 00:07:20,950
Not today, on the 7th.

103
00:07:21,104 --> 00:07:22,942
January 7th, 2020.

104
00:07:25,126 --> 00:07:26,624
- Sir, I dropped everything and--
- Huh?

105
00:07:27,152 --> 00:07:29,907
I was on leave today, sir.
I thought this was something urgent.

106
00:07:30,219 --> 00:07:32,293
You could have told me all
of this over the phone.

107
00:07:32,782 --> 00:07:33,900
You are right.

108
00:07:35,911 --> 00:07:37,832
By the way, Happy New Year.

109
00:07:39,070 --> 00:07:40,120
Happy New Year.

110
00:07:49,668 --> 00:07:53,230
On the 3rd of January,
44 cases were reported

111
00:07:53,310 --> 00:07:56,166
to the WHO by Chinese
national authorities.

112
00:07:56,628 --> 00:07:58,740
The statistics is alarming

113
00:07:58,820 --> 00:08:02,124
and a matter of concern
for the World Health Organization.

114
00:08:02,204 --> 00:08:05,316
What does your China Office
have to say about this?

115
00:08:05,448 --> 00:08:08,586
It is very likely that the virus
spread from bats.

116
00:08:09,252 --> 00:08:11,082
Sir, I have been to the Wuhan
seafood market.

117
00:08:11,162 --> 00:08:12,870
They don't sell bats there.

118
00:08:13,872 --> 00:08:16,212
- Excuse me?
- They don't sell bats there.

119
00:08:17,916 --> 00:08:20,398
Maybe it came from bat
to another animal

120
00:08:20,478 --> 00:08:22,566
and from that animal to human.

121
00:08:22,740 --> 00:08:25,270
Has anyone from the WHO China Office

122
00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:26,860
inspected the wet market?

123
00:08:27,522 --> 00:08:29,742
- No.
- Have they inspected the P4 lab?

124
00:08:29,822 --> 00:08:32,358
No, why would they visit the lab?

125
00:08:34,264 --> 00:08:37,961
Is there a remote possibility
of a virus leak from Wuhan's P4 lab?

126
00:08:38,126 --> 00:08:39,595
No, no way.

127
00:08:39,675 --> 00:08:41,642
How can you say with confidence that

128
00:08:41,722 --> 00:08:44,262
this is neither human-to-human
nor a lab leak?

129
00:08:44,475 --> 00:08:47,412
That's what Chinese Officials reported
to our office.

130
00:08:48,294 --> 00:08:50,436
You mean the People's Liberation Army?

131
00:08:52,955 --> 00:08:55,191
This raises serious security concerns.

132
00:08:55,335 --> 00:08:57,471
I propose that we form a committee

133
00:08:57,591 --> 00:08:59,977
- that will look into the various aspects...
- Look into what, sir?

134
00:09:00,730 --> 00:09:02,689
Something we don't even
have proper information about?

135
00:09:03,529 --> 00:09:05,161
Shouldn't WHO be responsible
for providing

136
00:09:05,241 --> 00:09:07,969
us with evidence-based
scientific information?

137
00:09:08,232 --> 00:09:11,093
Unless, of course, they have some special
understanding with China.

138
00:09:11,173 --> 00:09:14,069
What are you hinting at, Ms. Gupta?

139
00:09:14,149 --> 00:09:15,298
Dr. Gupta.

140
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,932
Let me ask you straight, Dr. Gupta.

141
00:09:19,460 --> 00:09:21,135
If this virus spreads

142
00:09:21,922 --> 00:09:24,035
and reaches India,

143
00:09:24,957 --> 00:09:28,881
does ICMR have the capacity to handle it?

144
00:09:28,961 --> 00:09:32,217
Sir, the Indian Council
of Medical Research

145
00:09:33,071 --> 00:09:36,772
is one of the oldest vaccine research
agencies in the world.

146
00:09:36,944 --> 00:09:40,288
Our accomplishments don't get
as much attention because we're

147
00:09:40,581 --> 00:09:44,990
Not sending rockets to Mars with their
tails on fire.

148
00:09:47,113 --> 00:09:52,580
If there's any institution in India
capable of fighting this unknown virus,

149
00:09:53,565 --> 00:09:55,094
it's ICMR.

150
00:09:55,993 --> 00:10:00,860
INDIAN COUNCIL OF MEDICAL RESEARCH

151
00:10:00,940 --> 00:10:04,596
Today, WHO shared the genome sequence
of the virus found in Wuhan, China.

152
00:10:04,676 --> 00:10:06,635
With the world's top research agencies.

153
00:10:06,715 --> 00:10:10,611
This will allow scientists around the world to
Make diagnostic kits for the virus.

154
00:10:10,769 --> 00:10:12,929
Nivedita ma'am,
could you come here, please?

155
00:10:17,383 --> 00:10:18,433
Have a look at this.

156
00:10:28,325 --> 00:10:31,059
Sir, this is the genome
we have received from China.

157
00:10:31,139 --> 00:10:33,809
It's surrounded by a protective membrane,
a protein Capsid.

158
00:10:33,889 --> 00:10:35,428
This is not Pneumonia, sir.

159
00:10:35,508 --> 00:10:36,959
It is not a DNA virus either.

160
00:10:37,039 --> 00:10:39,199
It's a Ribonucleic acid virus,
just like SARS.

161
00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:42,520
It'll spread quickly and mutate too.

162
00:10:42,669 --> 00:10:44,484
Thank God, we still don't have
any cases of it in India.

163
00:10:44,564 --> 00:10:46,230
We don't have any yet.

164
00:10:47,616 --> 00:10:52,957
Call Priya Abraham at NIV.

165
00:10:56,313 --> 00:10:57,100
Yes, Nivi ma'am?

166
00:10:57,180 --> 00:10:58,932
Connect us to Dr. Priya.
DG sir would like to talk to her.

167
00:10:59,012 --> 00:11:00,111
Okay, I'm on it.

168
00:11:00,883 --> 00:11:02,296
Give me a minute, sir.

169
00:11:11,608 --> 00:11:13,732
I think May is perfect for the wedding.

170
00:11:14,116 --> 00:11:15,544
Nah, nah Feb is too early.

171
00:11:15,624 --> 00:11:17,524
I have just joined two months ago.

172
00:11:18,502 --> 00:11:20,587
I can try March.

173
00:11:20,667 --> 00:11:23,006
Check for the availability
of Vellore Army Club.

174
00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:25,006
I've heard their AC is very strong.

175
00:11:25,396 --> 00:11:26,896
Ma'am, a call from Delhi.

176
00:11:28,108 --> 00:11:29,650
Listen, I have to go.

177
00:11:29,854 --> 00:11:33,011
But I am coming to Vellore
on the 27th for three days.

178
00:11:33,664 --> 00:11:36,292
And Merin,
I have to check your wedding gown also.

179
00:11:36,490 --> 00:11:37,439
- Bye, dear.
- Okay, bye.

180
00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:38,433
Bye, Merin.

181
00:11:38,513 --> 00:11:39,753
See you.

182
00:11:42,467 --> 00:11:43,645
DG sir.

183
00:11:43,725 --> 00:11:45,037
Oh.

184
00:11:46,636 --> 00:11:47,644
Good morning, sir.

185
00:11:47,778 --> 00:11:50,846
I am sorry, I was talking
to my family on the other line.

186
00:11:50,926 --> 00:11:52,579
Actually, my son's about
to get married...

187
00:11:52,659 --> 00:11:54,632
That's nice. Great. Congrats.

188
00:11:54,863 --> 00:11:57,109
Dr. Priya, can you check
your email real quick?

189
00:11:58,197 --> 00:12:00,739
That is the sequence
of the novel Coronavirus.

190
00:12:00,819 --> 00:12:02,509
I have a bad feeling about this.

191
00:12:03,311 --> 00:12:07,543
I think NIV should start making
its diagnostic kits right away.

192
00:12:07,623 --> 00:12:08,843
Okay, sir.

193
00:12:08,989 --> 00:12:09,952
Give us some time.

194
00:12:10,032 --> 00:12:12,253
This is not the time for some time.

195
00:12:12,378 --> 00:12:13,794
I want it right now.

196
00:12:14,096 --> 00:12:15,578
- And by right now, I mean...
- Right now, sir.

197
00:12:16,342 --> 00:12:17,294
Hello?

198
00:12:20,575 --> 00:12:22,739
Is DG sir always in such a rush?

199
00:12:25,615 --> 00:12:27,463
We have to let the BSL4 lab know.

200
00:12:27,838 --> 00:12:31,363
Order primers and probes for testing
this new strain of the virus.

201
00:12:31,443 --> 00:12:32,600
Immediately.

202
00:12:37,713 --> 00:12:38,758
Sir.

203
00:12:38,838 --> 00:12:42,427
Sir, we sent out an advisory
to all hospitals and medical centers

204
00:12:42,507 --> 00:12:46,303
that any suspected case should
be sent to NIV, Pune.

205
00:12:46,447 --> 00:12:48,195
- Okay.
- Dr. Bhargava?

206
00:12:49,063 --> 00:12:50,015
Sorry.

207
00:12:50,095 --> 00:12:51,541
Yes, Dr. Ganga?

208
00:12:51,901 --> 00:12:53,287
Anything important?

209
00:12:53,455 --> 00:12:54,301
Yes, sir.

210
00:12:54,381 --> 00:12:55,549
Dr. Nivedita?

211
00:12:56,143 --> 00:12:58,549
Sir, the health officials
in Wuhan concluded that

212
00:12:58,629 --> 00:13:01,303
this virus came from
the Wuhan seafood market.

213
00:13:01,579 --> 00:13:05,195
And one of their criteria
for diagnosing the virus is that

214
00:13:05,275 --> 00:13:07,891
the person should have visited
the seafood market in Wuhan.

215
00:13:08,419 --> 00:13:09,865
So if someone has a fever

216
00:13:09,945 --> 00:13:12,764
and their genome sequence
matches perfectly,

217
00:13:12,844 --> 00:13:15,665
but they haven't been
to the seafood market,

218
00:13:15,794 --> 00:13:17,738
then they wouldn't be considered infected.

219
00:13:17,891 --> 00:13:19,001
And what's the problem with that?

220
00:13:19,081 --> 00:13:22,769
Dr. Bhargava, out of the 41 cases
that the WHO reported,

221
00:13:23,147 --> 00:13:26,660
14 had nothing to do with
the Wuhan seafood market.

222
00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:29,844
A few days later,

223
00:13:30,017 --> 00:13:32,511
the Science Journal
published a report saying,

224
00:13:32,929 --> 00:13:36,032
"The Wuhan Seafood market
may not be the source

225
00:13:36,112 --> 00:13:38,343
for this virus spreading globally."

226
00:13:38,423 --> 00:13:39,966
After that, the Lancet published a report

227
00:13:40,046 --> 00:13:43,191
about the first patient they found
on December 1st,

228
00:13:43,271 --> 00:13:45,431
and how he had nothing
to do with the seafood market.

229
00:13:45,959 --> 00:13:47,585
I suspected this from the beginning.

230
00:13:48,719 --> 00:13:50,315
Something about this seems off.

231
00:13:50,591 --> 00:13:52,077
On January 7th,

232
00:13:52,157 --> 00:13:55,979
the National Institute of Communicable
Disease Control issued a report,

233
00:13:56,123 --> 00:13:57,862
which was published
by the Nature Journal.

234
00:13:58,270 --> 00:14:00,628
That report clearly says

235
00:14:00,708 --> 00:14:04,696
that the Wuhan Coronavirus matches
perfectly with two old viruses!

236
00:14:04,876 --> 00:14:08,092
Are you trying to explain it to me
or scold me?

237
00:14:08,776 --> 00:14:12,340
Virus SL-CoVZC45

238
00:14:12,472 --> 00:14:15,218
and virus SL-CoVZXC21.

239
00:14:15,298 --> 00:14:16,418
Okay.

240
00:14:16,498 --> 00:14:22,130
Both of these viruses were found
in bats in Zhoushan.

241
00:14:22,351 --> 00:14:24,695
Guess who found them?

242
00:14:24,775 --> 00:14:28,369
The Nanjing Military Research Institute
of the People's Liberation Army.

243
00:14:28,843 --> 00:14:30,114
Think about it, sir.

244
00:14:30,194 --> 00:14:32,138
Why a military research institute?

245
00:14:32,299 --> 00:14:34,547
And what do these similarities suggest?

246
00:14:34,627 --> 00:14:37,811
Does it mean that this virus was created
in the Wuhan lab through

247
00:14:37,891 --> 00:14:41,539
- a reverse engineering process?
- We can't say anything for sure until

248
00:14:41,821 --> 00:14:43,825
- we have evidence.
- One minute, sir.

249
00:14:44,491 --> 00:14:45,835
If this hypothesis is wrong,

250
00:14:45,915 --> 00:14:49,201
then why did the DG of the Institute
of Virology

251
00:14:49,281 --> 00:14:51,535
send an email on January 2nd
to their internal staff

252
00:14:51,615 --> 00:14:54,181
instructing them not to share any
information or data about this virus

253
00:14:54,261 --> 00:14:55,945
with anyone else?

254
00:14:56,025 --> 00:14:59,423
And, sir,
"It was prohibited with immediate effect."

255
00:14:59,503 --> 00:15:03,757
What does the Chinese Communist Party
want to keep hidden from the world?

256
00:15:03,925 --> 00:15:06,217
Sir, what if this is a cover-up
of the original source?

257
00:15:08,593 --> 00:15:09,908
Original source?

258
00:15:10,093 --> 00:15:12,374
Is this virus a natural mutation?

259
00:15:12,874 --> 00:15:15,124
Or was it created in a lab
through reverse engineering?

260
00:15:26,233 --> 00:15:29,023
I don't know if this virus
is a natural mutation

261
00:15:29,103 --> 00:15:31,693
or a result of reverse engineering.

262
00:15:33,907 --> 00:15:36,775
What's bothering me is

263
00:15:38,335 --> 00:15:40,855
why the scientific community in China

264
00:15:41,461 --> 00:15:43,129
is not saying anything...

265
00:15:51,361 --> 00:15:54,215
The Indian government made
a big decision today.

266
00:15:54,381 --> 00:15:57,942
Everyone flying in from Wuhan will have
to go through thermal screening.

267
00:16:20,464 --> 00:16:23,930
So, the first suspected case
has taken a flight

268
00:16:24,010 --> 00:16:27,297
from Wuhan, China,
and landed at Kolkata.

269
00:16:31,738 --> 00:16:32,825
From Kolkata,

270
00:16:32,905 --> 00:16:35,719
she took a train and reached Bengaluru.

271
00:16:37,195 --> 00:16:40,337
From Bengaluru,
through some local transport

272
00:16:40,417 --> 00:16:42,271
she reached Thrissur, Kerala.

273
00:16:42,409 --> 00:16:44,647
There she developed
cold and cough symptoms

274
00:16:44,727 --> 00:16:47,033
and reported the same
at a local medical center.

275
00:16:47,113 --> 00:16:48,503
We have received her samples,

276
00:16:48,583 --> 00:16:51,115
now they are with our NIV facility, Pune.

277
00:16:51,889 --> 00:16:54,516
Let's make BSL2 - Team One

278
00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:56,411
and BSL4 - Team Two.

279
00:16:56,491 --> 00:16:58,823
Until both the teams'
results don't match 100%,

280
00:16:58,903 --> 00:17:00,685
we'll not conclude anything.
Okay?

281
00:17:01,255 --> 00:17:03,275
- Ma'am?
- Yes, Sree?

282
00:17:03,355 --> 00:17:05,413
The Kerala samples have been secured.

283
00:17:05,493 --> 00:17:07,171
- Have they been checked properly?
- Yes, ma'am.

284
00:17:07,251 --> 00:17:09,133
The cold chain was maintained
and there were no leaks.

285
00:17:09,213 --> 00:17:10,772
There is a throat swab sample too.

286
00:17:10,852 --> 00:17:12,838
- What was the volume?
- 2ml, ma'am.

287
00:17:13,005 --> 00:17:14,441
Make 4 aliquots, okay?

288
00:17:14,521 --> 00:17:17,514
Send one for PCR, one for isolation,
one for sequencing,

289
00:17:17,652 --> 00:17:19,453
and save one for our balance stock.

290
00:17:20,252 --> 00:17:22,662
And Sree, please work
on these samples immediately.

291
00:17:22,742 --> 00:17:24,816
I need the results ASAP.

292
00:17:26,719 --> 00:17:27,718
What happened?

293
00:17:28,438 --> 00:17:29,970
Nothing, ma'am. Just praying.

294
00:17:32,031 --> 00:17:34,921
This is the first time I'm wishing
for negative results.

295
00:17:39,547 --> 00:17:40,834
Get going.

296
00:18:16,736 --> 00:18:17,903
What is the viral load?

297
00:18:17,983 --> 00:18:19,403
It's quite high, ma'am.

298
00:18:19,653 --> 00:18:21,358
And have you sent the samples
for sequencing?

299
00:18:21,438 --> 00:18:22,690
Yes, ma'am.

300
00:18:22,897 --> 00:18:24,928
Has anyone checked the clinical history
of the patient?

301
00:18:25,008 --> 00:18:25,911
What's the PID?

302
00:18:25,991 --> 00:18:27,946
Ma'am, Dr. Pragya will update you.

303
00:18:42,993 --> 00:18:44,719
So all the test controls
are working properly?

304
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:45,626
Yes, ma'am.

305
00:18:45,706 --> 00:18:47,339
And Team One,
Team Two results are the same?

306
00:18:47,419 --> 00:18:48,141
Yes.

307
00:18:48,221 --> 00:18:50,002
And is it matching
with the Wuhan isolate?

308
00:18:50,082 --> 00:18:51,370
Yes, ma'am. I'll show you

309
00:18:51,450 --> 00:18:54,788
the real-time PCR amplification
plots of the sample.

310
00:18:54,868 --> 00:18:58,148
Also, I have the results
of the whole genome sequencing.

311
00:18:58,906 --> 00:19:02,357
We have 99.99% genome recovery.

312
00:19:02,481 --> 00:19:07,287
And it is matching 99.98%
with the Wuhan isolate.

313
00:19:07,371 --> 00:19:11,139
Ma'am, we also have the electron
microscopy images.

314
00:19:11,219 --> 00:19:12,333
Here.

315
00:19:21,616 --> 00:19:23,652
This is such a beautiful virus.

316
00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:26,664
It's so royal.

317
00:19:27,204 --> 00:19:29,255
No, really.
Look at the crown on its head,

318
00:19:29,338 --> 00:19:30,586
it's so majestic.

319
00:19:40,642 --> 00:19:43,372
We got you now,
Your Majesty Corona.

320
00:19:49,277 --> 00:19:50,579
So girls,

321
00:19:51,479 --> 00:19:56,515
it is indeed severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2.

322
00:19:56,959 --> 00:19:58,285
Good job, everyone.

323
00:19:58,825 --> 00:20:00,055
Pragya.

324
00:20:21,272 --> 00:20:23,899
What is a scientific achievement for us

325
00:20:24,689 --> 00:20:26,522
is bad news for the world.

326
00:20:27,981 --> 00:20:30,958
We, virologists, are bad news
messengers for the world.

327
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,504
Hello sir.

328
00:20:45,738 --> 00:20:47,190
Dr. Bhargava.

329
00:20:47,382 --> 00:20:49,817
Sir, we have got our first case.

330
00:20:53,109 --> 00:20:54,734
I'll inform the PM.

331
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,692
In the meantime,
you create a WhatsApp group.

332
00:20:59,082 --> 00:21:01,440
Sir, I don't have WhatsApp.

333
00:21:01,572 --> 00:21:04,642
The whole world's dealing with a crisis
and you don't have WhatsApp?

334
00:21:04,722 --> 00:21:06,018
Are you serious?

335
00:21:16,902 --> 00:21:21,166
I'm declaring a public emergency
of international concern

336
00:21:21,832 --> 00:21:23,704
over the global outbreak
of novel coronavirus.

337
00:21:24,733 --> 00:21:26,110
Hey, focus on your food,
not your phone.

338
00:21:26,542 --> 00:21:30,656
Okay, tell me, what phone
is good enough to run WhatsApp?

339
00:21:30,890 --> 00:21:32,533
Add some ghee to this dish.

340
00:21:32,613 --> 00:21:35,983
You got to be smart to be a scientist.

341
00:21:36,905 --> 00:21:38,322
Ghee has its benefits.

342
00:21:42,794 --> 00:21:43,741
iPhone.

343
00:21:43,821 --> 00:21:45,122
Suggest something cheaper.

344
00:21:45,343 --> 00:21:46,572
You've become a big-shot
Director General,

345
00:21:46,652 --> 00:21:48,752
but you're still a miser.

346
00:21:49,015 --> 00:21:50,706
For God's sake, you still keep
patching up your old suits.

347
00:21:50,786 --> 00:21:53,072
Just because someone has
minimal needs and avoids wasting

348
00:21:53,152 --> 00:21:54,512
doesn't make them a miser.

349
00:21:55,721 --> 00:21:57,420
Why are you using a spoon to eat?

350
00:21:57,732 --> 00:21:58,971
Use your hands.

351
00:22:00,153 --> 00:22:04,426
Warm fingertips make you hungry
and enhance the taste of food.

352
00:22:04,509 --> 00:22:05,884
Give it a try.

353
00:22:05,964 --> 00:22:07,885
The elders were right,

354
00:22:07,965 --> 00:22:11,176
- "Simple living...
- High thinking.

355
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,976
What's the difference between iOS
and Android anyway?

356
00:22:16,466 --> 00:22:18,618
Not much,
except for their configuration,

357
00:22:18,698 --> 00:22:21,046
- pixel quality, and power backup.
- Fine.

358
00:22:21,224 --> 00:22:22,765
Keep on eating.

359
00:22:23,005 --> 00:22:24,861
The Prime Minister of India ordered

360
00:22:24,991 --> 00:22:27,122
- to bring back all Indians
- Go on.

361
00:22:27,202 --> 00:22:32,035
staying abroad through
the Vande Bharat program.

362
00:22:32,115 --> 00:22:37,020
The Pakistan Government asked
its students in China to stay in Wuhan

363
00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:40,205
because they can't handle
the Coronavirus.

364
00:22:40,841 --> 00:22:44,531
WHO announced that the International
Committee on Taxonomy

365
00:22:44,611 --> 00:22:47,684
has named the virus as SARS-CoV-2

366
00:22:47,767 --> 00:22:50,601
and the disease caused by the
coronavirus would be named

367
00:22:50,684 --> 00:22:51,976
COVID-19.

368
00:22:52,559 --> 00:22:54,903
Ma'am, India is ranked 57th
on the health index.

369
00:22:54,983 --> 00:22:56,226
Even behind Indonesia.

370
00:22:57,311 --> 00:22:58,445
You mean at the bottom.

371
00:22:59,905 --> 00:23:00,717
What about other data?

372
00:23:00,797 --> 00:23:02,456
Ma'am, according
to Government of India,

373
00:23:02,536 --> 00:23:04,599
there are only 8 doctors
for every 10,000 people.

374
00:23:04,783 --> 00:23:05,786
ICU beds?

375
00:23:05,916 --> 00:23:09,434
We have 6 ICU beds
for every 100,000 people.

376
00:23:09,514 --> 00:23:12,263
This is how we will become a vishwaguru.

377
00:23:12,347 --> 00:23:13,305
PPE kits?

378
00:23:13,388 --> 00:23:15,597
Ma'am, India doesn't
manufacture any PPE kits.

379
00:23:15,861 --> 00:23:18,440
And as per the Government of India,

380
00:23:18,574 --> 00:23:20,836
we have only imported 275,000 PPE kits.

381
00:23:20,916 --> 00:23:22,953
Ma'am, we don't produce masks either.

382
00:23:23,033 --> 00:23:27,494
And as of now,
we only have 335,000 N95 masks.

383
00:23:27,574 --> 00:23:28,485
Ventilators?

384
00:23:28,565 --> 00:23:30,530
There's an acute short
supply of ventilators.

385
00:23:30,610 --> 00:23:33,998
We have a total of 48,000 ventilators...

386
00:23:34,078 --> 00:23:35,101
across the country.

387
00:23:36,278 --> 00:23:40,046
A country set to become
a 5 trillion economy

388
00:23:41,159 --> 00:23:44,867
is on track to becoming
the world's largest graveyard.

389
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,512
We are a dead country.

390
00:23:52,326 --> 00:23:53,689
Can I have a moment with her, please?

391
00:23:53,769 --> 00:23:54,761
Thank you.

392
00:23:56,749 --> 00:23:58,254
Have you lost your mind, Rohini?

393
00:23:59,014 --> 00:24:00,193
How can you say this?

394
00:24:01,192 --> 00:24:04,034
Why don't you talk about China
and this virus's origin?

395
00:24:04,114 --> 00:24:05,516
Because you know we can't.

396
00:24:05,642 --> 00:24:07,994
Oh, so now you are saying
that India can't do it?

397
00:24:08,606 --> 00:24:09,751
How can we say that?

398
00:24:09,831 --> 00:24:11,244
Because it is a fact.

399
00:24:11,324 --> 00:24:13,570
No, it is your opinion.

400
00:24:15,168 --> 00:24:18,630
Okay, so we'll just say
experts believe India can't do it.

401
00:24:18,710 --> 00:24:21,610
But we have spoken
to any experts about this.

402
00:24:21,690 --> 00:24:22,613
Doesn't matter.

403
00:24:22,693 --> 00:24:25,090
This is what they will say.

404
00:24:25,580 --> 00:24:27,222
India can't do it.

405
00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:28,566
Trust me.

406
00:24:28,850 --> 00:24:31,582
You're a science editor,
not a political editor.

407
00:24:31,736 --> 00:24:33,522
Everything is politics, boss.

408
00:24:33,733 --> 00:24:35,024
Including science.

409
00:24:39,136 --> 00:24:40,981
Vaishali, are you sure this is vegan?

410
00:24:41,110 --> 00:24:42,120
Yes, ma'am.

411
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,070
Rohini, what if you're wrong?

412
00:24:53,439 --> 00:24:54,544
I'm ready to go live.

413
00:24:56,484 --> 00:24:58,347
Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen.
I'm Rohini Singh Dhulia.

414
00:24:58,427 --> 00:25:01,432
Welcome to my show.

415
00:25:01,572 --> 00:25:03,996
So, officially, there's only one
active case in India.

416
00:25:04,121 --> 00:25:06,640
But do we really have just one?

417
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:07,644
How can we be sure?

418
00:25:07,724 --> 00:25:11,072
When we don't even have labs
To test the coronavirus.

419
00:25:11,197 --> 00:25:15,621
I know you all have the same question
in your hearts and minds.

420
00:25:15,701 --> 00:25:17,447
Is India's medical infrastructure

421
00:25:17,527 --> 00:25:21,086
capable of saving the lives
of 1.3 billion people?

422
00:25:21,166 --> 00:25:23,050
According to the experts,

423
00:25:23,170 --> 00:25:25,773
there's only one answer.

424
00:25:26,482 --> 00:25:30,148
No, India can't do it.

425
00:25:31,988 --> 00:25:34,361
This is Rohini Singh Dhulia signing off.

426
00:25:34,441 --> 00:25:35,551
Good night. Sleep well.

427
00:25:35,631 --> 00:25:37,057
How do we handle this?

428
00:25:38,343 --> 00:25:39,390
Like a war.

429
00:25:46,699 --> 00:25:48,439
"India can't do it"

430
00:25:49,414 --> 00:25:52,945
If someone is not against India
Then why would they say this,

431
00:25:53,113 --> 00:25:54,577
especially during an epidemic?

432
00:25:54,811 --> 00:25:56,383
"India can't do it"

433
00:25:56,463 --> 00:25:58,921
The greatest threat to India
comes from its own people.

434
00:26:02,251 --> 00:26:04,759
We have no one else but ourselves
to blame for 1000 years of slavery, right?

435
00:26:06,343 --> 00:26:09,079
Dr. Bhargava, I have to say this again.

436
00:26:09,253 --> 00:26:11,701
This is a kind of bio-economic war,

437
00:26:11,781 --> 00:26:15,823
Where they are infecting humans
to make a vaccine

438
00:26:15,903 --> 00:26:20,600
and control the world's economy.

439
00:26:21,183 --> 00:26:22,433
Just think about it.

440
00:26:22,517 --> 00:26:26,142
Who's going to be their biggest market
if they make that vaccine?

441
00:26:27,229 --> 00:26:28,567
India!

442
00:26:28,723 --> 00:26:30,439
But the question is,

443
00:26:30,739 --> 00:26:35,671
"India can't do it"?
who's spreading this narrative

444
00:26:36,589 --> 00:26:37,613
And why?

445
00:26:37,693 --> 00:26:40,477
Because they want to strip us
of our confidence

446
00:26:40,669 --> 00:26:43,735
and make us beg
other countries for help.

447
00:26:44,947 --> 00:26:46,189
Now, we have to decide

448
00:26:46,269 --> 00:26:47,833
India can't do it

449
00:26:48,649 --> 00:26:50,635
or India can do it?

450
00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:54,055
I have decided

451
00:26:54,301 --> 00:26:55,759
We are going to make our own vaccine.

452
00:26:56,209 --> 00:26:58,153
A vaccine that is Made in India.

453
00:26:59,023 --> 00:27:02,167
No matter how many sacrifices
and hardships we have to face for it.

454
00:27:02,629 --> 00:27:05,053
We aren't ready to make a vaccine.

455
00:27:05,347 --> 00:27:07,327
We don't have the resources
or the experience.

456
00:27:07,407 --> 00:27:10,015
We should focus
on an antiviral drug instead.

457
00:27:10,095 --> 00:27:15,085
China and America have already
started working on a vaccine.

458
00:27:15,165 --> 00:27:17,047
I think India should do the same.

459
00:27:17,127 --> 00:27:19,351
No, Pragya, I don't agree with you.

460
00:27:19,567 --> 00:27:23,001
We shouldn't just follow what China
or other countries are doing,

461
00:27:23,081 --> 00:27:26,127
or treat this like a some war
and develop a vaccine.

462
00:27:26,207 --> 00:27:28,668
We need to make a vaccine because as
scientists it is our national duty.

463
00:27:28,830 --> 00:27:30,972
A vaccine takes 10-15 years to develop.

464
00:27:31,052 --> 00:27:34,451
The actual process
only takes 12-18 months.

465
00:27:34,749 --> 00:27:37,051
We waste 8-10 years
dealing with permissions,

466
00:27:37,131 --> 00:27:39,851
approvals protocols... the red tapism.

467
00:27:39,931 --> 00:27:42,102
Even if we get rid of the red tapism.

468
00:27:42,182 --> 00:27:43,984
it'll still take at least 2 years.

469
00:27:44,064 --> 00:27:45,926
And by then, we'll be too late.

470
00:27:46,006 --> 00:27:47,216
Two years?

471
00:27:47,811 --> 00:27:50,124
Why two years if we are doing it
on a war footing?

472
00:27:50,807 --> 00:27:52,999
Should we follow the process

473
00:27:53,079 --> 00:27:54,915
or should we make the process
to match the war?

474
00:27:56,485 --> 00:27:57,499
Why can't it be ready by December?

475
00:27:58,213 --> 00:27:59,332
It's impossible.

476
00:28:02,759 --> 00:28:06,332
Doctor, there are two kinds
of people in this world.

477
00:28:07,495 --> 00:28:09,578
Those who see the height
of Mount Everest

478
00:28:09,658 --> 00:28:11,806
and think it's impossible to climb.

479
00:28:14,075 --> 00:28:15,439
And those

480
00:28:16,461 --> 00:28:18,966
who say let's at least
take the first step.

481
00:28:20,421 --> 00:28:22,254
I'm the second kind.

482
00:28:34,086 --> 00:28:35,872
We are going to make a vaccine,

483
00:28:37,154 --> 00:28:38,887
and we are going to do it fast.

484
00:28:40,442 --> 00:28:42,753
Now, the question is,
what kind of vaccine do we make?

485
00:28:42,833 --> 00:28:48,886
Sir, everyone in the world...

486
00:28:49,083 --> 00:28:51,147
is working on mRNA vaccines.

487
00:28:51,227 --> 00:28:52,860
Like Pfizer, Moderna...

488
00:28:52,940 --> 00:28:54,553
But there's a problem, sir.

489
00:28:54,636 --> 00:28:56,803
mRNA isn't as stable as DNA.

490
00:28:56,936 --> 00:28:58,354
And this can prove to be risky.

491
00:28:58,434 --> 00:29:01,880
But sir, there are still global
concerns about DNA vaccines.

492
00:29:02,048 --> 00:29:04,608
We don't even have permission
to give them to kids.

493
00:29:04,688 --> 00:29:06,053
But I...

494
00:29:07,233 --> 00:29:08,452
What do you think, sir?

495
00:29:09,312 --> 00:29:12,294
My philosophy is to keep it simple.

496
00:29:12,659 --> 00:29:14,228
Do what you know best.

497
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,637
We should make a "killed virus" vaccine.

498
00:29:24,209 --> 00:29:25,956
A "killed virus" vaccine.

499
00:29:27,185 --> 00:29:28,803
That's a smart idea, sir.

500
00:29:29,740 --> 00:29:33,830
And they don't even need to be kept at
70 degrees like those mRNA vaccines, sir.

501
00:29:34,238 --> 00:29:35,942
So they are very good for India.

502
00:29:36,739 --> 00:29:41,906
We are going to keep this under wraps
until we have our own vaccine.

503
00:29:43,668 --> 00:29:46,909
It's going to be a top-secret project

504
00:29:47,088 --> 00:29:48,798
for national security purposes.

505
00:29:49,473 --> 00:29:51,018
Our motto is -

506
00:29:51,851 --> 00:29:53,966
under promise, over deliver.

507
00:29:55,331 --> 00:29:56,815
Okay then, Doctor,

508
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,880
since we've decided to make a vaccine,

509
00:30:01,839 --> 00:30:04,389
we should collaborate
with Bharat Biotech.

510
00:30:04,553 --> 00:30:08,701
I already spoke to Mr. Krishna Ella,
and he's interested.

511
00:30:08,781 --> 00:30:10,550
You have spoken to Krishna Ella?

512
00:30:10,634 --> 00:30:12,467
Why didn't you tell us?

513
00:30:12,547 --> 00:30:14,634
I do not report to you, Dr. Priya.

514
00:30:15,182 --> 00:30:18,300
Doc, this is unacceptable.
We should be working as a team, sir.

515
00:30:18,380 --> 00:30:21,179
Dr. Priya, this collaboration could result
in a unique partnership

516
00:30:21,638 --> 00:30:24,734
between the government
and the industry,

517
00:30:25,060 --> 00:30:27,571
and perhaps pave the way
for a new self-reliant India.

518
00:30:29,005 --> 00:30:31,059
Since you have already
spoken to Bharat Biotech,

519
00:30:31,999 --> 00:30:33,450
get a MoU ready.

520
00:30:35,776 --> 00:30:36,847
Wait...

521
00:30:36,927 --> 00:30:37,873
Before you leave,

522
00:30:37,953 --> 00:30:41,208
I want you all to read this statement:
"India can't do it."

523
00:30:42,505 --> 00:30:44,444
Write it on your phone, your diary,

524
00:30:44,564 --> 00:30:47,572
your bathroom wall,
everywhere you can.

525
00:30:47,822 --> 00:30:51,197
It's going to remind you all that
we have to win this war.

526
00:30:53,078 --> 00:30:55,353
From now on, our motto is going to be

527
00:30:55,666 --> 00:30:57,336
"India can do it."

528
00:30:58,349 --> 00:31:02,442
We have no choice but to win this war.

529
00:31:03,292 --> 00:31:05,528
If we are going to die,
we are going to die fighting.

530
00:31:07,256 --> 00:31:09,133
We are going to die self-reliant.

531
00:31:11,138 --> 00:31:12,866
Are you ready for this war?

532
00:31:12,946 --> 00:31:14,214
- Sir.
- Yes, sir.

533
00:31:14,294 --> 00:31:15,549
That's great.

534
00:31:16,697 --> 00:31:21,217
III
The Battle of Iran

535
00:31:22,302 --> 00:31:24,677
This week we saw the
satellite images emerge

536
00:31:24,757 --> 00:31:28,019
of what appears to be
a graveyard in the city of Qom.

537
00:31:28,099 --> 00:31:29,574
Now these satellite images
show this vast graveyard

538
00:31:29,654 --> 00:31:31,721
expanding significantly since...

539
00:31:31,801 --> 00:31:34,846
If these satellite images of
this mass graveyard are real,

540
00:31:35,933 --> 00:31:37,747
then we've got a huge
problem ahead of us.

541
00:31:38,871 --> 00:31:41,752
Dr. Bhargava,
there's a city near Tehran,

542
00:31:41,832 --> 00:31:43,693
the capital of Iran, called Qom.

543
00:31:44,081 --> 00:31:47,743
About 1100 people from
Kargil went there for Haj

544
00:31:48,021 --> 00:31:49,503
and now they're stuck over there.

545
00:31:49,583 --> 00:31:51,956
Don't people go to Mecca for Haj?

546
00:31:52,036 --> 00:31:53,530
No, Sunnis go to Mecca.

547
00:31:54,015 --> 00:31:55,661
Shias go to Qom.

548
00:31:55,741 --> 00:31:58,641
Besides that, there are around
6000 Indians living in Iran.

549
00:31:58,721 --> 00:32:01,834
If ICMR could set up a lab over there,

550
00:32:01,914 --> 00:32:03,552
things would be easier
for the evacuation...

551
00:32:03,632 --> 00:32:06,365
Establishing a lab is not a joke.

552
00:32:07,245 --> 00:32:10,121
We don't have the time
or the experience for that.

553
00:32:10,201 --> 00:32:11,565
Dr. Bhargava,

554
00:32:12,467 --> 00:32:14,910
we have Indians residing
in five cities in Iran.

555
00:32:15,118 --> 00:32:17,243
You need to send five teams

556
00:32:17,718 --> 00:32:21,368
and establish testing labs there.

557
00:32:21,895 --> 00:32:24,607
Iran is a very complex
and sensitive country.

558
00:32:25,241 --> 00:32:27,098
We have to be really careful

559
00:32:27,178 --> 00:32:29,383
and smart about testing
those 6000 Indians

560
00:32:29,463 --> 00:32:31,063
and bringing them back.

561
00:32:32,741 --> 00:32:34,810
Can ICMR do that?

562
00:32:51,552 --> 00:32:53,338
Well, if we got to do it
We got to do it.

563
00:32:59,077 --> 00:33:00,505
No, ma'am.

564
00:33:01,393 --> 00:33:02,809
I won't go to Iran.

565
00:33:02,889 --> 00:33:04,201
But why, Dr. Marudhar?

566
00:33:04,281 --> 00:33:05,965
No ma'am, not Iran.

567
00:33:06,103 --> 00:33:08,479
I am ready to go anywhere else
but Iran.

568
00:33:09,883 --> 00:33:11,110
Dr. Parmesh?

569
00:33:11,190 --> 00:33:12,181
No, ma'am.

570
00:33:13,669 --> 00:33:14,646
No, ma'am.

571
00:33:21,061 --> 00:33:23,562
- What's wrong with all of you?
- Ma'am...

572
00:33:26,580 --> 00:33:27,810
I'm ready to go to Iran.

573
00:33:27,890 --> 00:33:29,749
Reema, you can't go.

574
00:33:29,829 --> 00:33:31,057
Sit.

575
00:33:31,301 --> 00:33:32,487
Sit down, sit down.

576
00:33:36,332 --> 00:33:39,855
Ma'am, I'm ready to go.

577
00:33:40,119 --> 00:33:41,439
Ma'am, I'll go.

578
00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:42,927
Ma'am, I'll go.

579
00:33:43,007 --> 00:33:44,223
Ma'am, I'm ready to go.

580
00:33:44,303 --> 00:33:45,651
Ma'am, I'll go.

581
00:33:46,395 --> 00:33:47,953
Ma'am, I'll go.

582
00:33:52,029 --> 00:33:54,370
No, this can't happen.

583
00:33:54,915 --> 00:33:58,471
No sir, I don't think we should
be sending women over there.

584
00:33:58,551 --> 00:33:59,841
It's Iran, sir.

585
00:33:59,985 --> 00:34:02,877
I don't differentiate,

586
00:34:03,477 --> 00:34:04,909
we're all scientists here.

587
00:34:04,989 --> 00:34:07,197
But they do, sir.

588
00:34:07,737 --> 00:34:09,104
No matter how idealistic we become,

589
00:34:09,184 --> 00:34:10,799
we can't ignore some social realities.

590
00:34:10,879 --> 00:34:13,333
Listen, we've received
orders straight from the PMO.

591
00:34:13,799 --> 00:34:16,707
If they say we have to go,
then we have to go.

592
00:34:16,787 --> 00:34:18,137
Excuse me, sir,

593
00:34:18,217 --> 00:34:20,076
He doesn't understand
the challenges women face.

594
00:34:20,262 --> 00:34:22,421
We're scientists, not soldiers, sir.

595
00:34:22,501 --> 00:34:25,580
In fact, even the military doesn't send
women to dangerous zones, you know?

596
00:34:25,714 --> 00:34:27,505
Well then, send the men instead.

597
00:34:27,589 --> 00:34:29,572
The majority of the
staff at NIV are women, sir.

598
00:34:29,652 --> 00:34:31,216
There are hardly any men around here.

599
00:34:31,404 --> 00:34:32,839
And the men we do have...

600
00:34:33,386 --> 00:34:34,619
they're kids, sir.

601
00:34:34,759 --> 00:34:37,582
What do I tell their families
if something happens to them over there?

602
00:34:37,702 --> 00:34:39,003
Look, Dr. Priya,

603
00:34:39,521 --> 00:34:41,812
you have three options.

604
00:34:42,651 --> 00:34:45,469
Option One: Send your team there.

605
00:34:45,829 --> 00:34:49,794
Option Two: Write a letter
to the cabinet secretary

606
00:34:49,874 --> 00:34:51,349
refusing to send a team.

607
00:34:51,546 --> 00:34:53,284
Option Three:

608
00:34:54,110 --> 00:34:55,892
Well, there is no third option.

609
00:35:18,479 --> 00:35:20,390
DG sir isn't a fan of AC.

610
00:35:20,470 --> 00:35:22,245
He wants you to feel the heat.

611
00:35:23,258 --> 00:35:24,606
Then let's call for a heater.

612
00:35:24,686 --> 00:35:26,776
- Coffee is far superior.
- Dr. Priya, you're fired.

613
00:35:26,856 --> 00:35:28,171
Hi, sir.

614
00:35:28,251 --> 00:35:29,386
Sorry, sir?

615
00:35:29,466 --> 00:35:30,889
You're fired.

616
00:35:32,567 --> 00:35:35,692
You actually wrote a letter
to the Cabinet Secretary?

617
00:35:36,063 --> 00:35:37,234
Yes, sir.
You told me to.

618
00:35:37,317 --> 00:35:39,700
He said you're fired.
Fired!

619
00:35:51,054 --> 00:35:52,480
Don't be a quitter.

620
00:35:54,784 --> 00:35:55,936
Sit down.

621
00:35:56,016 --> 00:35:58,366
- Sir, you just said I'm fired.
- Sit down.

622
00:36:05,506 --> 00:36:07,840
You think we're planning a wedding here?

623
00:36:08,038 --> 00:36:10,719
If there is a fire
in the house do we argue

624
00:36:10,799 --> 00:36:12,616
Who will get the water,
man or woman?

625
00:36:14,221 --> 00:36:15,387
This is war!

626
00:36:16,945 --> 00:36:18,512
And we're all soldiers.

627
00:36:18,845 --> 00:36:20,078
Sit down.

628
00:36:23,768 --> 00:36:25,664
What's a soldier's number one duty?

629
00:36:25,744 --> 00:36:28,514
To protect their people.

630
00:36:30,019 --> 00:36:32,652
What's the worst that
could happen in Iran?

631
00:36:32,929 --> 00:36:34,337
We'll die, right?

632
00:36:34,417 --> 00:36:36,823
So are we going abandon 6000 Indians
abroad just to save our own lives?

633
00:36:36,958 --> 00:36:38,268
Is that what soldiers
are supposed to do?

634
00:36:41,205 --> 00:36:43,875
A soldier's supposed to take commands.

635
00:36:44,767 --> 00:36:46,025
Whose commands?

636
00:36:47,125 --> 00:36:48,396
His general's commands.

637
00:36:49,486 --> 00:36:50,878
And who's your general?

638
00:36:51,704 --> 00:36:52,779
Look at me, everybody.

639
00:36:55,284 --> 00:36:57,027
If anyone has doubts,

640
00:36:58,027 --> 00:36:59,319
you can bail right now.

641
00:37:00,823 --> 00:37:05,944
Starting today, we have to stay focused
on the eye of the fish, just like Arjun.

642
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,753
Only the eye of the fish.

643
00:37:15,394 --> 00:37:17,770
And in this war,
the eye of the fish for us

644
00:37:18,034 --> 00:37:20,612
is to protect our people.

645
00:37:21,635 --> 00:37:25,461
And that's only possible if you have
conviction and commitment.

646
00:37:26,839 --> 00:37:29,600
It doesn't matter
if you're a man or a woman.

647
00:37:30,992 --> 00:37:32,324
Is that clear?

648
00:37:33,230 --> 00:37:34,592
Is that clear?

649
00:37:36,488 --> 00:37:37,856
Have your coffee.

650
00:37:54,038 --> 00:37:55,238
I'm sorry.

651
00:37:58,652 --> 00:38:01,304
Don't worry, I'll set up a team.

652
00:38:03,956 --> 00:38:06,746
There's just one thing
I don't understand.

653
00:38:10,418 --> 00:38:11,624
What is...

654
00:38:14,606 --> 00:38:15,944
What's the story of the fish's eyes?

655
00:38:23,450 --> 00:38:26,570
Ma'am, should we just take
a U-turn and ask sir?

656
00:38:32,014 --> 00:38:33,931
We have no option but
to postpone the wedding.

657
00:38:34,562 --> 00:38:36,770
I'm going crazy with all this Iran thing.

658
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,492
I'm handling packaging, bookings,

659
00:38:39,572 --> 00:38:41,370
visas, passports, and all that.

660
00:38:41,585 --> 00:38:42,695
You're doing all that?

661
00:38:42,775 --> 00:38:43,844
Who else will do it?

662
00:38:43,924 --> 00:38:47,108
Priya, are you the Director of NIV
or an operations manager?

663
00:38:47,251 --> 00:38:49,814
Honestly, a slave.

664
00:38:50,467 --> 00:38:51,772
Okay, bye. I'll call you later.

665
00:38:51,852 --> 00:38:53,355
Make sure that everything
is absolutely perfect, okay?

666
00:38:53,435 --> 00:38:54,560
Varsha.

667
00:38:54,733 --> 00:38:56,147
- Yeah, ma'am?
- Everything going fine?

668
00:38:56,564 --> 00:38:57,855
- Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. All okay.
- You guys are packing everything up, right?

669
00:38:57,939 --> 00:39:00,227
- Yes, yes, yes.
- Did you guys eat dinner?

670
00:39:00,307 --> 00:39:01,178
Okay.

671
00:39:01,313 --> 00:39:03,265
Sadanand, let me know
if anyone wants some tea.

672
00:39:03,345 --> 00:39:05,165
- Okay, ma'am.
- Take care.

673
00:39:06,223 --> 00:39:08,671
- Check these, please.
- Okay.

674
00:39:12,235 --> 00:39:13,711
Hey, what are you doing?

675
00:39:13,791 --> 00:39:15,817
You know it's illegal
to bring children here, right?

676
00:39:15,897 --> 00:39:17,563
This is a bio-secure zone.

677
00:39:17,643 --> 00:39:19,633
Yeah, ma'am, I know.

678
00:39:19,765 --> 00:39:22,021
But we must finish the packing.

679
00:39:22,101 --> 00:39:23,881
And I can't leave her at home.

680
00:39:24,193 --> 00:39:25,633
She's too young.

681
00:39:26,785 --> 00:39:29,320
I'm a single mother.
I have to breastfeed her.

682
00:39:29,403 --> 00:39:30,278
So, I brought her along.

683
00:39:36,517 --> 00:39:37,627
What's her name?

684
00:39:37,958 --> 00:39:39,043
Aasha.

685
00:39:40,401 --> 00:39:41,547
Aasha.

686
00:39:42,402 --> 00:39:43,501
Nice name.

687
00:39:45,941 --> 00:39:48,624
Why don't you let me
take care of Aasha?

688
00:39:48,704 --> 00:39:50,188
I'll look after her.

689
00:39:50,268 --> 00:39:53,017
Come over to my place
when it's time to feed her.

690
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,446
Okay.

691
00:39:55,460 --> 00:39:58,925
Come here, my baby.

692
00:39:59,697 --> 00:40:01,550
Don't worry, I'll look after her.

693
00:40:30,194 --> 00:40:31,034
Hi, Nivi.

694
00:40:31,118 --> 00:40:33,909
Dr. Priya, our scientists headed to Iran

695
00:40:33,993 --> 00:40:36,063
had a ton of extra baggage

696
00:40:36,243 --> 00:40:37,853
but couldn't afford to pay for it,

697
00:40:37,933 --> 00:40:39,380
so they missed their flight.

698
00:40:39,460 --> 00:40:40,254
What?

699
00:40:46,052 --> 00:40:47,076
Hello, sir?

700
00:40:47,156 --> 00:40:49,206
Yes, I heard what happened.

701
00:40:50,762 --> 00:40:52,682
Why didn't anybody go
with them to the airport?

702
00:40:52,806 --> 00:40:56,175
Sir, our things were going
there on four different flights.

703
00:40:56,606 --> 00:40:58,439
Everyone was busy packing.

704
00:40:59,678 --> 00:41:02,897
Your scientists didn't
even have a hundred thousand rupees?

705
00:41:05,076 --> 00:41:06,248
Not my scientists, sir,

706
00:41:08,014 --> 00:41:09,439
India's scientists.

707
00:41:45,309 --> 00:41:48,075
The Indian Air Force plane
That took off from Tehran

708
00:41:48,155 --> 00:41:51,303
Carried swab samples of Indians
Stuck in Iran.

709
00:41:51,435 --> 00:41:54,373
These will be tested
in the labs for Coronavirus.

710
00:41:54,591 --> 00:41:57,582
All the citizens with negative reports
Will be evacuated

711
00:41:57,665 --> 00:41:59,623
And flown back home to India.

712
00:42:12,501 --> 00:42:18,139
Who would have thought we'd not only be able
to test them without any prior experience

713
00:42:18,219 --> 00:42:21,002
but also evacuate them?

714
00:42:21,285 --> 00:42:23,640
Yes.
Mission accomplished, finally.

715
00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:25,148
Yes, finally!

716
00:42:25,322 --> 00:42:27,794
Three cheers for Team ICMR!

717
00:42:27,968 --> 00:42:29,468
Three cheers!

718
00:42:32,624 --> 00:42:34,700
This is a really small victory.

719
00:42:35,222 --> 00:42:36,824
We still have a real battle ahead of us.

720
00:42:38,624 --> 00:42:40,154
Go home and get some rest.

721
00:42:40,234 --> 00:42:43,298
Spend some time with
your family for a change,

722
00:42:43,430 --> 00:42:46,170
before your kids forget
what your faces.

723
00:42:46,250 --> 00:42:47,774
For a change!

724
00:42:48,278 --> 00:42:49,382
Did you say something?

725
00:42:49,656 --> 00:42:50,738
Me, sir? Nope.

726
00:42:50,818 --> 00:42:51,662
Okay, bye.

727
00:42:54,552 --> 00:42:58,802
People thank cricketers
even if they draw a match.

728
00:42:59,490 --> 00:43:00,552
They cheer them.

729
00:43:01,223 --> 00:43:02,582
Just get used to it, Priya ma'am.

730
00:43:02,717 --> 00:43:04,009
Of course, of course.

731
00:43:04,089 --> 00:43:06,563
Whether anyone says thanks or not

732
00:43:06,646 --> 00:43:10,979
we will continue to care as mothers.

733
00:43:11,590 --> 00:43:13,193
- Good night, girls.
- Good night.

734
00:43:14,681 --> 00:43:17,923
A remarkable moment in Indian history
occurred as scientists from India

735
00:43:18,003 --> 00:43:20,547
opened their first-ever lab outside
the country, situated in a war-torn area.

736
00:43:20,696 --> 00:43:22,585
They successfully conducted tests
on more than 6000 individuals,

737
00:43:22,665 --> 00:43:24,197
making a noteworthy contribution.

738
00:43:29,175 --> 00:43:31,000
Hello friends, I am Rohini Singh Dhulia

739
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,066
Welcome to my show.

740
00:43:34,229 --> 00:43:37,390
Today, Johns Hopkins University
in America

741
00:43:37,470 --> 00:43:41,182
put out a report saying that by July,

742
00:43:41,349 --> 00:43:46,307
somewhere between 250-400 million people
in India will be infected with corona.

743
00:43:46,753 --> 00:43:48,251
400 million.

744
00:43:48,331 --> 00:43:52,063
All the top research agencies from around
the world are worried about India,

745
00:43:52,213 --> 00:43:54,607
but our own research agency,

746
00:43:54,745 --> 00:43:58,003
the Indian Council of Medical Research,
seems to be asleep.

747
00:43:58,273 --> 00:44:00,511
Because, the Government has locked up
the science department,

748
00:44:00,649 --> 00:44:04,045
probably because they're more focused
on winning the elections.

749
00:44:04,201 --> 00:44:06,307
Meanwhile, it's the regular folks,
who are really worried,

750
00:44:06,387 --> 00:44:10,582
as they don't have access to proper
medical facilities or any hope.

751
00:44:10,731 --> 00:44:13,300
This is Rohini Singh Dhulia signing off.

752
00:44:13,380 --> 00:44:14,961
Good night and sleep well.

753
00:44:21,138 --> 00:44:22,237
Nivedita.

754
00:44:23,092 --> 00:44:24,359
Sir.

755
00:44:29,274 --> 00:44:31,382
- Are you okay?
- Okay.

756
00:44:35,495 --> 00:44:36,925
Hey Nivedita,

757
00:44:37,198 --> 00:44:41,717
we totally forgot something after
the evacuation in Iran.

758
00:44:42,767 --> 00:44:46,779
How are we going to figure out
a diagnosis without the virus?

759
00:44:47,970 --> 00:44:50,283
We will need to isolate the coronavirus.

760
00:44:50,634 --> 00:44:52,924
- You mean we grow our own virus?
- Yes.

761
00:44:53,053 --> 00:44:57,220
Set up a protocol and ask NIV
to start the process.

762
00:44:57,300 --> 00:44:58,522
Okay, sir.

763
00:44:59,616 --> 00:45:00,662
Good night.

764
00:45:00,742 --> 00:45:01,651
Where are you going?

765
00:45:01,731 --> 00:45:04,037
Sir, you just told us to go home
for a change, remember?

766
00:45:04,117 --> 00:45:07,234
My bad.
Just go and tell them now, right now.

767
00:45:07,551 --> 00:45:08,609
Now?

768
00:45:08,692 --> 00:45:10,400
Yeah, right now.
Please, please.

769
00:45:11,035 --> 00:45:12,150
Please.

770
00:45:12,955 --> 00:45:14,025
Okay, sir.

771
00:45:15,158 --> 00:45:16,492
Wait...

772
00:45:16,572 --> 00:45:18,504
- Sit down. Yeah, sit down.
- Here?

773
00:45:18,998 --> 00:45:24,095
Who is this Rohini Singh Dhulia
from the The Daily Wire?

774
00:45:24,610 --> 00:45:27,932
Where do all these new news channels
keep popping up from, all the time?

775
00:45:28,458 --> 00:45:33,648
They just said that 400 million people in
India are going to get infected by July.

776
00:45:34,091 --> 00:45:38,051
She said her source was some report
from Johns Hopkins University.

777
00:45:38,517 --> 00:45:42,325
Have you come across any such report?

778
00:45:43,021 --> 00:45:44,664
Nope.

779
00:45:45,533 --> 00:45:47,213
Okay. Go.

780
00:45:47,746 --> 00:45:49,913
- Okay, sir.
- Yeah.

781
00:45:52,896 --> 00:45:54,167
- Sir.
- No, thank you.

782
00:45:54,247 --> 00:45:55,525
- Carry on.
- You sure?

783
00:45:55,608 --> 00:45:56,655
I'm okay.

784
00:46:02,900 --> 00:46:06,150
IV
Isolation

785
00:46:10,252 --> 00:46:12,760
So Team, we will begin
our isolation process now.

786
00:46:13,306 --> 00:46:16,402
As you know these samples
are very delicate.

787
00:46:16,582 --> 00:46:20,302
They were shipped here last night,
so please handle them carefully. Okay?

788
00:46:20,382 --> 00:46:21,928
- Let's begin?
- Yes, ma'am.

789
00:46:22,008 --> 00:46:23,470
All the best.

790
00:46:36,946 --> 00:46:38,163
Dr. Anita,

791
00:46:39,604 --> 00:46:41,788
- Have you checked the vero-cell confluency?
- Yes, ma'am.

792
00:46:41,868 --> 00:46:44,121
It's more than 80% confluent,
please check.

793
00:47:06,110 --> 00:47:07,358
Hi.

794
00:47:07,838 --> 00:47:09,368
Are you going to crash
there again tonight?

795
00:47:10,334 --> 00:47:12,194
- What can I do?
- You know, we have a son, right?

796
00:47:12,326 --> 00:47:14,536
And he looks quite depressed without you.

797
00:47:14,616 --> 00:47:16,453
- Talk to him.
- Where is he?

798
00:47:17,036 --> 00:47:18,661
- Call him.
- Adi.

799
00:47:19,550 --> 00:47:20,726
Hi.

800
00:47:21,158 --> 00:47:22,178
What are you doing?

801
00:47:22,472 --> 00:47:23,998
Nothing.
What about you?

802
00:47:24,428 --> 00:47:28,652
We're actually trying
to isolate the coronavirus.

803
00:47:28,826 --> 00:47:30,264
What is isolate?

804
00:47:30,344 --> 00:47:32,558
Isolate means...

805
00:47:32,786 --> 00:47:37,293
We're separating it so
we can grow it in the lab.

806
00:47:37,373 --> 00:47:39,270
In simple terms, we're going feed it
and make it grow big.

807
00:47:39,504 --> 00:47:40,883
Isn't he dangerous?

808
00:47:40,963 --> 00:47:42,612
It is dangerous. Not a "He".

809
00:47:43,061 --> 00:47:44,512
Viruses don't have a gender.

810
00:47:44,647 --> 00:47:46,461
Then why are we growing it?

811
00:47:48,865 --> 00:47:52,791
We are growing it so we can figure out
what kind of a villain it is.

812
00:47:52,871 --> 00:47:58,462
Then we will know the right
superpowers needed to kill it.

813
00:47:58,542 --> 00:48:02,575
Once we know its strengths
and weaknesses,

814
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:04,616
we can kill it.

815
00:48:05,674 --> 00:48:07,960
Just like Thanos, you know?
Like this.

816
00:48:08,704 --> 00:48:11,248
But mom, Thanos is very powerful.

817
00:48:11,392 --> 00:48:14,200
Only the Avengers can take him down.

818
00:48:14,416 --> 00:48:15,802
Well then...

819
00:48:16,048 --> 00:48:17,938
guess we'll have to become Avengers.

820
00:48:19,552 --> 00:48:21,994
Mom, are you never
going to come back home?

821
00:48:26,950 --> 00:48:28,204
Okay, good night.

822
00:48:34,264 --> 00:48:37,223
The blame gets further
and further away from China

823
00:48:37,306 --> 00:48:40,268
as opposed to calling
it the Chinese virus.

824
00:48:40,348 --> 00:48:43,288
I can name Kung Flu,

825
00:48:43,492 --> 00:48:45,472
- I can name.
- Nivedita?

826
00:48:45,646 --> 00:48:47,288
- Nivedi--
- Sorry, sir.

827
00:48:47,368 --> 00:48:49,906
No, no, no.
Please, please, please, relax, relax.

828
00:48:52,624 --> 00:48:54,016
You know her?

829
00:48:54,096 --> 00:48:56,152
Yes, sir.
China's Bat-Woman, Shi Zhengli,

830
00:48:56,232 --> 00:48:57,760
Wuhan Lab's Director.

831
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,340
So, this is a fact.

832
00:49:00,922 --> 00:49:03,370
Shi Zhengli brought the coronavirus
from a copper mine

833
00:49:03,450 --> 00:49:06,472
to her P4 Wuhan lab,

834
00:49:07,066 --> 00:49:11,554
where she did her gain
of function research on it.

835
00:49:12,532 --> 00:49:19,286
In 2015, there was a research paper
published by Shi in Nature Medicine.

836
00:49:19,366 --> 00:49:20,372
Here it is.

837
00:49:20,452 --> 00:49:23,120
"Creation of a synthetic virus

838
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,194
or a self-replicating chimeric virus."

839
00:49:27,466 --> 00:49:29,812
Shi even tested it on monkeys

840
00:49:30,934 --> 00:49:36,466
to see how it would infect humans.

841
00:49:37,372 --> 00:49:40,144
This means this virus was made in a lab!

842
00:49:42,070 --> 00:49:44,590
Until yesterday,
all the scientists across the world

843
00:49:44,670 --> 00:49:48,214
Were calling it a lab
leak or a manufactured virus,

844
00:49:48,478 --> 00:49:51,058
but as soon as Trump
called it a Chinese virus,

845
00:49:51,138 --> 00:49:53,384
everyone shut up.

846
00:49:54,593 --> 00:49:56,009
Pretty wild, right?

847
00:49:56,866 --> 00:49:58,926
But that doesn't mean this--

848
00:50:04,972 --> 00:50:07,822
When it comes time to hear the truth,
Everyone fell asleep.

849
00:50:13,702 --> 00:50:15,910
Remember, virus doesn't sleep.

850
00:50:29,932 --> 00:50:31,360
How many samples do we have?

851
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,034
We have three samples, ma'am.

852
00:50:33,166 --> 00:50:34,252
What is CT value?

853
00:50:34,332 --> 00:50:36,532
Sample one has a CT of 26.

854
00:50:36,612 --> 00:50:40,196
Sample two has 27
and Sample three has 29.

855
00:50:40,276 --> 00:50:41,638
Great.

856
00:50:41,830 --> 00:50:43,780
Please handle them very carefully.

857
00:50:44,218 --> 00:50:47,554
It is extremely important
for India to isolate this virus.

858
00:50:48,478 --> 00:50:51,130
Yes, ma'am. I'll do my best.

859
00:50:52,858 --> 00:50:54,201
Thank you.

860
00:51:00,472 --> 00:51:01,954
Hello, Dr. Priya.

861
00:51:02,350 --> 00:51:03,482
Where is the problem?

862
00:51:03,562 --> 00:51:08,290
Well, sir, our virus samples mostly
come from asymptomatic cases,

863
00:51:08,590 --> 00:51:10,312
so they aren't strong enough
to take the load.

864
00:51:10,392 --> 00:51:11,920
Then why don't we reach out
to other countries for samples?

865
00:51:12,052 --> 00:51:15,226
I've already requested all
the international agencies, sir.

866
00:51:15,306 --> 00:51:16,720
They all said no.

867
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,000
Well then,
maybe your specifications were off.

868
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,136
My specifications, sir?

869
00:51:22,540 --> 00:51:25,558
- What about checking with the WHO?
- I already did, sir.

870
00:51:25,720 --> 00:51:27,346
They are showing helplessness.

871
00:51:28,378 --> 00:51:31,132
So we're just going do nothing
because they won't help?

872
00:51:31,212 --> 00:51:33,532
I've been saying since day
one that this is a conspiracy.

873
00:51:33,612 --> 00:51:36,178
We'll deal with the
conspiracy later, Doctor.

874
00:51:36,258 --> 00:51:38,770
Dr. Priya, can we
isolate the virus or not?

875
00:51:38,850 --> 00:51:42,358
Absolutely,
sir, we can if you only listen to me.

876
00:51:42,438 --> 00:51:44,824
The viruses we receive
are stored in the labs

877
00:51:45,082 --> 00:51:49,058
and transported to us at 4 degrees,

878
00:51:49,246 --> 00:51:50,849
so they're weak by the time we get them.

879
00:51:50,933 --> 00:51:53,210
That's why we're having
trouble isolating them.

880
00:51:53,290 --> 00:51:56,504
Dr. Priya,
why do you always focus on the problem?

881
00:51:56,584 --> 00:51:58,252
I want a solution.

882
00:51:59,254 --> 00:52:01,120
Sir, I was just coming
to the solution,

883
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:02,866
but I have to explain the problem
to you first.

884
00:52:02,946 --> 00:52:06,285
- Sir, can I suggest something?
- Go ahead, Pragya.

885
00:52:06,681 --> 00:52:11,197
If we can get these
samples directly at BSL4,

886
00:52:11,418 --> 00:52:13,331
the viral load will be high,

887
00:52:13,411 --> 00:52:17,553
and we'll be able
to isolate it before it dies.

888
00:52:17,771 --> 00:52:20,508
That's it!
That's the solution, sir.

889
00:52:20,650 --> 00:52:23,396
Dr. Nivedita,
send a circular about this immediately.

890
00:52:23,479 --> 00:52:24,562
Yes, sir.

891
00:52:26,963 --> 00:52:27,941
Thank you.

892
00:52:37,739 --> 00:52:41,039
What's interesting is that
the world is struggling

893
00:52:41,119 --> 00:52:43,241
to find ways to kill this virus,

894
00:52:44,561 --> 00:52:47,453
And we're struggling to keep it alive.

895
00:52:54,378 --> 00:52:57,613
15 Italian tourists who
were quarantined in India

896
00:52:57,693 --> 00:52:59,454
have tested positive for coronavirus.

897
00:52:59,534 --> 00:53:02,846
Their samples are sent over to NIV, Pune.

898
00:53:42,437 --> 00:53:43,687
Ma'am!

899
00:53:43,767 --> 00:53:45,077
Ma'am!

900
00:53:48,407 --> 00:53:50,552
- Yes, Anita?
- Ma'am, there is some change...

901
00:53:50,632 --> 00:53:51,465
in cell morphology.

902
00:53:51,545 --> 00:53:52,641
Please check.

903
00:54:15,975 --> 00:54:18,749
Team, we've succeeded
in isolating the virus.

904
00:54:19,655 --> 00:54:21,771
- What?
- Congratulations.

905
00:54:23,030 --> 00:54:27,365
- I think there is a Wi-Fi connection issue.
- Can you hear us? Hello?

906
00:54:27,445 --> 00:54:29,949
We're trying to figure it out.
Check the connection.

907
00:54:30,029 --> 00:54:32,349
Ma'am, sound now.
One second, check.

908
00:54:32,487 --> 00:54:34,676
- Can you check the wires over there?
- I fail to understand modern technology.

909
00:54:34,822 --> 00:54:36,176
Can you hear us?

910
00:54:36,260 --> 00:54:37,385
- Yes, yes. Yes, we can hear you.
- Okay.

911
00:54:37,468 --> 00:54:38,307
Yes, we can hear you.

912
00:54:38,387 --> 00:54:39,213
Where's sir?

913
00:54:39,293 --> 00:54:41,676
Tell me, Dr. Priya,
what's the problem today?

914
00:54:42,878 --> 00:54:44,885
For a change, there is good news, sir.

915
00:54:45,385 --> 00:54:50,821
We have isolated the coronavirus.

916
00:54:51,497 --> 00:54:53,314
- Really?
- Yes!

917
00:54:53,394 --> 00:54:57,091
And with this India is the fifth country
in the world

918
00:54:57,171 --> 00:55:00,310
to isolate the virus successfully.

919
00:55:02,651 --> 00:55:04,305
Congratulations.

920
00:55:04,385 --> 00:55:06,561
Good job, both of you.

921
00:55:07,347 --> 00:55:10,138
Sir, did you hear that?

922
00:55:11,709 --> 00:55:15,351
Success isn't just about
finding Ravan,

923
00:55:15,795 --> 00:55:17,847
it's about killing him.

924
00:55:18,285 --> 00:55:20,103
Alright, you guys get some rest

925
00:55:20,913 --> 00:55:24,657
and while you're at it, brainstorm on
how to kill Ravan.

926
00:55:25,995 --> 00:55:27,237
Good night.

927
00:55:35,043 --> 00:55:36,369
Amazing.

928
00:55:51,897 --> 00:55:54,111
Sir lacks in the human
relations department.

929
00:55:55,827 --> 00:55:58,143
He'll rarely use words
like sorry and please.

930
00:55:58,785 --> 00:56:00,391
He's not expressive either.

931
00:56:01,016 --> 00:56:02,367
But he's a good man.

932
00:56:05,325 --> 00:56:06,453
I know.

933
00:56:09,801 --> 00:56:13,215
My family is always telling me,

934
00:56:14,631 --> 00:56:16,533
"Mom, you get too emotional."

935
00:56:17,013 --> 00:56:19,383
"Your emotions are written
all over your face."

936
00:56:20,349 --> 00:56:21,855
"You need to be more practical."

937
00:56:22,659 --> 00:56:25,389
That's why I came here,

938
00:56:26,319 --> 00:56:28,845
away from my family,
on a sabbatical.

939
00:56:30,537 --> 00:56:35,724
I thought working a government job
would make me more practical, but...

940
00:56:38,383 --> 00:56:40,089
I've clearly failed.

941
00:56:43,252 --> 00:56:44,464
I'm sorry.

942
00:56:47,349 --> 00:56:49,699
Hey Nivedita, you're still here?

943
00:56:49,779 --> 00:56:51,009
Yeah sir, I stuck around.

944
00:56:51,501 --> 00:56:53,199
We never know when
you might change your mind.

945
00:56:54,891 --> 00:56:57,359
If you talk to the NIV team,

946
00:56:59,091 --> 00:57:01,431
thank them on my behalf, will you?

947
00:57:02,979 --> 00:57:04,713
For doing such an awesome job.

948
00:57:35,663 --> 00:57:39,388
V The Lockdown

949
00:57:39,531 --> 00:57:41,420
In the past two weeks,

950
00:57:41,572 --> 00:57:48,262
the number of cases of COVID-19
outside China has increased 13-fold.

951
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:51,893
We have therefore made the assessment

952
00:57:51,973 --> 00:57:57,391
that COVID-19 can be characterized
as a pandemic.

953
00:57:58,313 --> 00:58:01,155
Pandemic is not...

954
00:58:04,748 --> 00:58:06,232
You didn't go home?

955
00:58:06,312 --> 00:58:07,911
You didn't go either, sir.

956
00:58:10,146 --> 00:58:12,066
- What is your name?
- Bahadur, sir.

957
00:58:13,468 --> 00:58:14,765
Nice name.

958
00:58:20,327 --> 00:58:24,305
Today, the European Union has gone ahead
and banned international flights and travel.

959
00:58:24,385 --> 00:58:28,301
Today, the Prime Minister has called
for a high-level meeting,

960
00:58:28,381 --> 00:58:31,913
where the Cabinet Secretary
and the topmost scientists of our country

961
00:58:32,045 --> 00:58:33,896
will fill him in on what necessary moves
the Indian government needs to make

962
00:58:33,980 --> 00:58:36,269
in order to keep India safe from COVID.

963
00:59:04,848 --> 00:59:06,737
Are you all ready to brief the PM?

964
00:59:06,817 --> 00:59:08,103
Yes, sir.

965
00:59:09,115 --> 00:59:10,180
Dr. Bhargava.

966
00:59:16,144 --> 00:59:19,882
Look, jargons won't
impress the Prime Minister.

967
00:59:20,602 --> 00:59:22,060
He means business.

968
00:59:22,654 --> 00:59:25,000
He only wants a result-oriented solution.

969
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:26,128
Okay.

970
00:59:26,208 --> 00:59:27,959
If you'd like to quickly jot down
some key points

971
00:59:28,098 --> 00:59:29,533
on a piece of paper, feel free to do so.

972
00:59:29,613 --> 00:59:30,936
I've already taken care of that.

973
00:59:43,493 --> 00:59:45,052
You have got a lot clarity in your mind.

974
00:59:45,643 --> 00:59:46,829
Just two points?

975
00:59:47,163 --> 00:59:48,246
Yes.

976
00:59:49,420 --> 00:59:52,413
Scientists should always
Have clarity.

977
00:59:54,527 --> 00:59:58,024
First, ban all international flights.

978
00:59:58,606 --> 01:00:00,070
Second,

979
01:00:01,570 --> 01:00:03,604
Impose nationwide lockdown.

980
01:00:06,025 --> 01:00:08,839
You recommended a nationwide lockdown?

981
01:00:08,919 --> 01:00:13,278
Dr. Bhargava, a total lockdown in our
Country is just not feasible.

982
01:00:13,358 --> 01:00:15,964
I totally agree with sir.
Total lockdown is a must.

983
01:00:16,135 --> 01:00:18,065
I also agree with him, Dr. Panda,

984
01:00:18,145 --> 01:00:20,681
but can the government do it?

985
01:00:21,029 --> 01:00:23,345
I mean no one opposed it?

986
01:00:23,591 --> 01:00:25,901
A senior officer was sitting next to me.

987
01:00:25,984 --> 01:00:27,109
Who, sir?

988
01:00:27,359 --> 01:00:28,609
Don't ask his name.

989
01:00:28,961 --> 01:00:31,403
He said all his relatives are in the US.

990
01:00:31,535 --> 01:00:33,587
So we shouldn't ban flights to the US.

991
01:00:35,519 --> 01:00:37,241
So typical of them.

992
01:00:38,765 --> 01:00:40,871
But what was the final decision, sir?

993
01:00:40,951 --> 01:00:45,215
PM said we can win this
war only through science.

994
01:00:45,491 --> 01:00:48,917
Many people will approach you with
different quick fixes and stuff like that,

995
01:00:49,115 --> 01:00:53,021
but all your decisions should be
based on science.

996
01:00:53,747 --> 01:00:55,577
Don't stray away from science.

997
01:00:55,823 --> 01:00:57,383
The PM actually said that?

998
01:00:58,523 --> 01:00:59,933
Yes.

999
01:01:01,673 --> 01:01:04,123
He said only science must prevail.

1000
01:01:04,601 --> 01:01:05,748
Yes.

1001
01:01:05,921 --> 01:01:07,123
Amazing.

1002
01:01:07,337 --> 01:01:09,437
I have been a scientist for
so many years,

1003
01:01:10,748 --> 01:01:12,786
but today, for the first time, I feel that

1004
01:01:13,853 --> 01:01:15,456
we too have someone backing us.

1005
01:01:18,881 --> 01:01:21,131
Going forward, our mantra will be...

1006
01:01:22,091 --> 01:01:24,737
Only science can win this war.

1007
01:01:26,483 --> 01:01:28,463
Are we on the same page?

1008
01:01:28,543 --> 01:01:32,183
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

1009
01:01:36,780 --> 01:01:45,137
"In the beginning, there was neither
existence nor non-existence."

01:01:45,217 --> 01:01:52,866
"Neither galaxies nor any space."

1011
01:01:52,946 --> 01:01:59,784
"What was hidden,
where and who hid it?"

1012
01:01:59,864 --> 01:02:07,806
"At that time,
there was no definite water mass either."

nor immortality."

"There was neither night nor day."

01:02:37,516 --> 01:02:45,080
"Something was breathing on its own,

but with no one and nothing around ."

1018

No one in the outside world knows
that you caged little thing

1019
01:02:56,640 --> 01:03:00,417
are making such a big contribution
in saving humanity.

1020
01:03:01,032 --> 01:03:03,740
Come, let's make a great vaccine.

"In the enlightened mind
a seed came to life, "

1022

"The seers, searching
in their hearts with wisdom,"

1024
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,944
We will start with the
Group One animal immunization.

1025
01:03:26,024 --> 01:03:27,966
Now we are going
to start the inoculation.

1026
01:03:33,042 --> 01:03:36,196
I'm giving the vaccine candidate BBV152B.

1027
01:03:36,276 --> 01:03:37,540
Okay ma'am.

1028
01:03:37,620 --> 01:03:38,910
Please hold the animal.

1029
01:03:39,054 --> 01:03:40,722
Give me one spirit swab.

1030
01:03:41,844 --> 01:03:43,746
Okay, I'm going to do the injection.

1031
01:03:45,450 --> 01:03:46,308
Okay, we are done.

1032
01:03:46,428 --> 01:03:49,433
Okay, load the virus.
We'll do the intranasal.

1033
01:03:58,049 --> 01:04:00,209
Please put the animal back to the cage.

1034
01:04:17,376 --> 01:04:18,908
- Hi, Varsha.
- Hello.

1035
01:04:21,951 --> 01:04:23,506
- Ma'am!
- Hmm?

1036
01:04:23,678 --> 01:04:25,930
- Oh, there she is.
- Hi, ma'am.

1037
01:04:26,010 --> 01:04:27,072
Come in, Pragya.

1038
01:04:27,254 --> 01:04:28,535
We have good news, ma'am.

1039
01:04:28,698 --> 01:04:31,602
The hamsters have produced
a significant amount of antibodies,

1040
01:04:31,682 --> 01:04:34,671
neutralizing the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

1041
01:04:36,529 --> 01:04:40,204
And has the vaccine cleared the virus
from the lower respiratory tract?

1042
01:04:40,284 --> 01:04:41,392
Yes, ma'am.

1043
01:04:41,512 --> 01:04:45,381
In fact, it has reduced the viral load
in the upper respiratory tract too.

1044
01:04:47,538 --> 01:04:49,578
That's good. Show me.

1045
01:04:50,118 --> 01:04:51,438
This is all clear.

1046
01:04:51,518 --> 01:04:53,790
And the animal's lungs
are absolutely unaffected.

1047
01:04:53,870 --> 01:04:55,002
Exactly.

1048
01:04:55,082 --> 01:04:57,432
And which of the three
is the best candidate?

1049
01:04:57,512 --> 01:05:00,245
Ma'am, BBV152B.

1050
01:05:00,328 --> 01:05:01,495
Just give us one minute.

1051
01:05:01,578 --> 01:05:02,870
That's a clear winner.

1052
01:05:02,953 --> 01:05:03,911
A champion.

1053
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:05,578
I knew it.

1054
01:05:20,940 --> 01:05:22,248
Hi, George.

1055
01:05:22,764 --> 01:05:23,658
What happened?

1056
01:05:23,738 --> 01:05:28,626
Rohini, the ICMR has completed
small animal trials, successfully.

1057
01:05:29,058 --> 01:05:31,080
Now they are starting monkey trials.

1058
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:32,058
So?

1059
01:05:32,138 --> 01:05:34,968
So, it means they're very close
to having a vaccine.

1060
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:36,536
How do you know?

1061
01:05:36,703 --> 01:05:39,453
The question is how do you not know?

1062
01:05:39,744 --> 01:05:42,396
Because no one in this
government talks to journalists.

1063
01:05:42,540 --> 01:05:45,508
Look, even if they're
able to make a vaccine,

1064
01:05:45,588 --> 01:05:47,386
it's going be an inferior one.

1065
01:05:47,466 --> 01:05:52,062
There's no way they have the capacity
to vaccinate 1.3 billion people.

1066
01:05:52,776 --> 01:05:56,386
The only thing that can
save India is our vaccine.

1067
01:05:56,466 --> 01:05:58,476
So, what do you want me to do?

1068
01:05:58,608 --> 01:06:02,532
Create a narrative that
this vaccine is substandard

1069
01:06:02,718 --> 01:06:05,730
and make a case for our vaccine.

1070
01:06:07,116 --> 01:06:09,390
Check your mail,
I've sent you a toolkit.

1071
01:06:09,470 --> 01:06:11,046
It's all in there.

1072
01:06:11,126 --> 01:06:12,852
Just follow it.

1073
01:06:31,873 --> 01:06:36,819
VII Finding monkeys

1074
01:06:44,019 --> 01:06:45,512
What's the problem, Dr. Priya?

1075
01:06:45,592 --> 01:06:49,710
Sir, we'll have to suspend
non-human primate trials.

1076
01:06:49,882 --> 01:06:51,509
We don't have monkeys.

1077
01:06:51,589 --> 01:06:53,616
How can you even say that?

1078
01:06:53,696 --> 01:06:55,921
Sir, the monkeys we have are old.

1079
01:06:56,053 --> 01:06:57,433
They are not fit for the trials.

1080
01:06:57,513 --> 01:06:59,263
Then ask BSL3 to send you some.

1081
01:06:59,419 --> 01:07:01,381
Sir, we require pathogen-free monkeys.

1082
01:07:01,461 --> 01:07:03,577
And none of the agencies have them.

1083
01:07:03,657 --> 01:07:04,817
Then get them from China.

1084
01:07:04,897 --> 01:07:09,104
Sir, it's strange, but China banned monkey
exports when the pandemic started.

1085
01:07:09,184 --> 01:07:10,741
Then get them from the zoos instead.

1086
01:07:10,821 --> 01:07:13,560
No, sir, we need Rhesus macaque monkeys.

1087
01:07:13,731 --> 01:07:15,000
You can't find those in zoos.

1088
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:16,372
So then go and get them from the jungle!

1089
01:07:16,502 --> 01:07:18,249
- The jungle?
- How, sir?

1090
01:07:18,403 --> 01:07:20,492
Why? What do you mean?

1091
01:07:20,572 --> 01:07:23,178
I mean we have to get a bunch
of permissions for that, sir.

1092
01:07:23,461 --> 01:07:26,750
The forest department,
animal ethics committee, CCSEA...

1093
01:07:26,830 --> 01:07:29,010
Sir, it takes time
to get these permissions.

1094
01:07:29,090 --> 01:07:31,044
If we want to keep going
with the vaccine trials,

1095
01:07:31,124 --> 01:07:34,199
we need to get the permissions
at lightning speed.

1096
01:07:34,405 --> 01:07:35,456
But this government...

1097
01:07:35,580 --> 01:07:37,476
Don't worry about the government,
I'll handle them.

1098
01:07:37,556 --> 01:07:38,763
How long will it take?

1099
01:07:40,098 --> 01:07:42,551
We just have to go and get them.

1100
01:07:42,925 --> 01:07:43,799
So, three-four days?

1101
01:07:43,879 --> 01:07:45,578
I'll give you two. Start right away.

1102
01:08:12,582 --> 01:08:14,444
- The monkeys you've been looking for
- Yes.

1103
01:08:14,524 --> 01:08:15,761
This is where you are going to find them.

1104
01:08:15,841 --> 01:08:17,235
You are going to be the
one catching them, right?

1105
01:08:17,315 --> 01:08:18,569
I'm a Forest Ranger.

1106
01:08:18,649 --> 01:08:19,836
You didn't bring a
monkey catcher with you?

1107
01:08:19,916 --> 01:08:21,157
They're fasting for Ramadan.

1108
01:08:21,237 --> 01:08:22,424
Then who's going to catch them?

1109
01:08:24,613 --> 01:08:25,863
You want to catch monkeys?

1110
01:08:26,975 --> 01:08:28,821
They are in the deep forest.

1111
01:08:31,218 --> 01:08:36,287
If you are scared of the jungle
how with you find monkeys?

1112
01:09:04,794 --> 01:09:06,167
Scaredy-cat.

1113
01:09:08,448 --> 01:09:09,865
- I'll call you back!
- No! No way!

1114
01:09:09,945 --> 01:09:11,076
- No, you listen to me.
- Hello?

1115
01:09:11,156 --> 01:09:12,948
- They are my scientists. I care for them.
- Yes, yes.

1116
01:09:13,031 --> 01:09:14,323
Ma'am.

1117
01:09:14,487 --> 01:09:15,990
- DG sir.
- Yeah.

1118
01:09:16,714 --> 01:09:18,274
Okay, I'll call you back.

1119
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:21,855
- Hello, sir?
- Dr. Priya, do you even realize

1120
01:09:21,935 --> 01:09:24,072
it's been 8 whole days and
you still haven't gotten those monkeys?

1121
01:09:24,231 --> 01:09:26,150
Have they gone to catch monkeys
Or a dinosaur?

1122
01:09:26,655 --> 01:09:27,951
Sir, I...

1123
01:09:28,109 --> 01:09:30,519
I am unable to contact my team.

1124
01:09:30,648 --> 01:09:33,360
It seems they are in some
very deep region of the jungle, sir.

1125
01:09:33,440 --> 01:09:35,161
Do whatever it takes.

1126
01:09:35,241 --> 01:09:38,727
I'm not going to waste my life
just waiting around for some monkeys.

1127
01:09:43,230 --> 01:09:45,126
I'm not the one causing
this delay, damn it!

1128
01:09:46,101 --> 01:09:47,464
Now does he want me
to turn into a monkey or something?

1129
01:09:52,532 --> 01:09:54,356
We are scientists, sir.

1130
01:09:55,987 --> 01:09:58,045
It's not our job to catch monkeys,
you know.

1131
01:09:58,285 --> 01:09:59,371
We want to get back home.

1132
01:09:59,509 --> 01:10:01,603
Our country has high hopes for us.

1133
01:10:02,257 --> 01:10:03,275
How are we going

1134
01:10:03,355 --> 01:10:04,835
to make that vaccine
without those monkeys?

1135
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:13,125
Take it.

1136
01:10:13,567 --> 01:10:16,791
If you don't embrace the jungle,
you will naver find the monkeys.

1137
01:10:19,666 --> 01:10:24,005
"How was this nature formed?
What are its origins?

1138
01:10:24,085 --> 01:10:26,735
Where was it born?"

1139
01:10:26,951 --> 01:10:31,844
"Who really knows?"

1140
01:10:32,222 --> 01:10:38,904
"Even the Gods came
after its emergence."

1141
01:10:39,271 --> 01:10:42,831
"Who designed the nature?"

1142
01:10:42,911 --> 01:10:46,178
"Who really knows the creator?"

1143
01:10:50,941 --> 01:10:52,344
Pull your mask up, Krishna.

1144
01:10:53,794 --> 01:10:55,114
Good.

1145
01:10:57,280 --> 01:10:59,638
- Hello?
- Ma'am, we found the monkeys.

1146
01:11:00,646 --> 01:11:02,512
- When!
- This morning.

1147
01:11:02,896 --> 01:11:04,246
Oh, that's wonderful!

1148
01:11:04,894 --> 01:11:06,292
Yes, I'll inform DG sir.

1149
01:11:06,372 --> 01:11:07,480
Bye.

1150
01:11:08,818 --> 01:11:10,624
Send Varsha to my office.

1151
01:11:41,752 --> 01:11:43,440
Where were you, Varsha?

1152
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:45,645
A journalist wants to meet you.

1153
01:11:45,725 --> 01:11:47,369
Let her go to hell.
Look at this.

1154
01:11:48,405 --> 01:11:51,751
How did Ms. Maneka Gandhi and Peta
find out about our monkey trials?

1155
01:11:51,931 --> 01:11:54,842
Because Dhulia wrote a
story about our monkey trials.

1156
01:11:54,922 --> 01:11:56,456
But how did Dhulia find out about it?

1157
01:11:56,673 --> 01:11:58,634
We have published a
paper in the science journal

1158
01:11:58,714 --> 01:12:00,248
that we will trial on monkeys.

1159
01:12:00,328 --> 01:12:01,934
We as in?

1160
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:03,752
Pragya ma'am.

1161
01:12:07,415 --> 01:12:08,870
Who did you say is waiting outside?

1162
01:12:09,698 --> 01:12:12,602
Rohini Singh Dhulia
from The Daily Wire.

1163
01:12:19,262 --> 01:12:20,618
You have a question for me?

1164
01:12:22,778 --> 01:12:25,868
Hi, I am Rohini Singh Dhulia,
Science Editor from the Daily Wire.

1165
01:12:26,234 --> 01:12:27,314
I know.

1166
01:12:27,836 --> 01:12:28,964
But why are you here?

1167
01:12:29,606 --> 01:12:30,854
You know this is not allowed.

1168
01:12:31,436 --> 01:12:32,966
Because you don't answer your phone

1169
01:12:33,098 --> 01:12:34,844
and this is a matter
of national importance.

1170
01:12:34,924 --> 01:12:36,332
Oh.

1171
01:12:36,412 --> 01:12:39,819
So, that's why you spread
misinformation like this?

1172
01:12:40,514 --> 01:12:42,528
Dr. Abraham, tell me something,

1173
01:12:43,028 --> 01:12:45,378
why are you testing
the vaccine on monkeys?

1174
01:12:45,458 --> 01:12:47,106
You know it's illegal in India, right?

1175
01:12:47,186 --> 01:12:48,252
No, no, no.

1176
01:12:48,332 --> 01:12:50,252
That was the earlier protocol.

1177
01:12:50,978 --> 01:12:54,950
ICDO came out with these
new worldwide guidelines after COVID,

1178
01:12:55,094 --> 01:12:59,072
where they made trials on non-human
primates, like monkeys mandatory.

1179
01:12:59,882 --> 01:13:01,352
And we have all the necessary permissions,

1180
01:13:01,432 --> 01:13:03,692
if you want Dr. Potdar
can mail them to you.

1181
01:13:04,334 --> 01:13:07,382
Why are we even bothering
with these experiments

1182
01:13:07,462 --> 01:13:09,848
when other countries already
have world-class vaccines in the works?

1183
01:13:10,052 --> 01:13:13,490
You know India has
never made its own vaccine.

1184
01:13:13,570 --> 01:13:15,506
Especially not
in such a crisis like this.

1185
01:13:15,586 --> 01:13:18,296
So why such a wastage of public funds?

1186
01:13:18,968 --> 01:13:20,254
Yeah,

1187
01:13:21,046 --> 01:13:24,500
we've always imported vaccine
technology from other countries.

1188
01:13:25,814 --> 01:13:27,992
And this is the first
time we're trying it ourselves.

1189
01:13:28,448 --> 01:13:29,928
But let me tell you something,

1190
01:13:30,008 --> 01:13:34,632
the Hepatitis B vaccine was
available around the world in 1982.

1191
01:13:35,336 --> 01:13:37,388
Whereas India...
When did India get it?

1192
01:13:37,916 --> 01:13:39,038
2002.

1193
01:13:39,716 --> 01:13:41,006
20 years late.

1194
01:13:42,074 --> 01:13:46,400
India got the Polio
vaccine after 22 years.

1195
01:13:46,796 --> 01:13:52,248
India got the tetanus vaccine
for mass inoculation after 30 years.

1196
01:13:52,450 --> 01:13:54,111
Ever since we got independence,

1197
01:13:54,191 --> 01:13:58,191
those International Pharma
Lobbies have been arm-twisting.

1198
01:13:58,323 --> 01:14:01,077
They kept blackmailing us and
we had no choice but to go along with it.

1199
01:14:01,157 --> 01:14:05,427
This is the first time India
is going to make its own vaccine,

1200
01:14:05,577 --> 01:14:07,431
is trying to be self-reliant.

1201
01:14:07,689 --> 01:14:09,651
Why don't you want that to happen?

1202
01:14:09,731 --> 01:14:11,001
It's not about me.

1203
01:14:11,610 --> 01:14:15,651
Why don't we just import this technology
from other countries like we usually do?

1204
01:14:15,987 --> 01:14:17,365
Just think about it.

1205
01:14:17,445 --> 01:14:18,481
It's been 70 years.

1206
01:14:18,561 --> 01:14:21,105
Why haven't we ever made
our own vaccine?

1207
01:14:21,375 --> 01:14:25,089
It's because we don't have the capability
to make world-class vaccines.

1208
01:14:25,169 --> 01:14:27,327
Ms. Dhulia, you are so wrong.

1209
01:14:27,681 --> 01:14:29,901
We've always had the capability.

1210
01:14:29,981 --> 01:14:34,191
But nobody has ever
trusted Indian scientists.

1211
01:14:37,389 --> 01:14:40,769
Dr. Abraham, please accept it.

1212
01:14:40,917 --> 01:14:45,269
We need the foreign vaccines
because we can't do it.

1213
01:14:47,523 --> 01:14:48,924
- Ma'am...
- That's what you always say.

1214
01:14:49,004 --> 01:14:49,797
- Ma'am...
- You always spread negativity.

1215
01:14:49,877 --> 01:14:51,144
DG sir is on the line for you, ma'am.

1216
01:14:51,427 --> 01:14:53,827
- Let me tell you something...
- Ma'am, now please.

1217
01:14:54,253 --> 01:14:55,412
- But I'm talking to her.
- Ma'am...

1218
01:14:55,492 --> 01:14:57,251
- She's spreading rubbish.
- DG sir is on the line for you.

1219
01:14:57,331 --> 01:14:59,107
It's urgent. Please, now.

1220
01:15:05,632 --> 01:15:08,160
Excuse me,
I have to get back to my work.

1221
01:15:09,315 --> 01:15:12,623
I have 1.3 billion
lives to save, you see.

1222
01:15:13,417 --> 01:15:15,142
Including all of yours.

1223
01:15:16,236 --> 01:15:17,756
Dr. Abraham,

1224
01:15:18,703 --> 01:15:20,256
what if you fail?

1225
01:15:30,506 --> 01:15:31,506
Yes, sir?

1226
01:15:31,589 --> 01:15:35,631
How many times do I have to
tell you not to talk to the media?

1227
01:15:36,485 --> 01:15:38,049
What am I supposed to do, sir?

1228
01:15:38,129 --> 01:15:39,465
They just showed up in my office.

1229
01:15:39,545 --> 01:15:40,987
But I specifically told you not to, right?

1230
01:15:41,067 --> 01:15:43,698
How could you not follow my orders?

1231
01:15:43,871 --> 01:15:45,426
No, no, sir.

1232
01:15:45,551 --> 01:15:47,692
They are spreading misinformation.

1233
01:15:47,772 --> 01:15:49,281
It is my responsibility to stop them.

1234
01:15:49,361 --> 01:15:50,501
Shut up.

1235
01:15:52,099 --> 01:15:53,462
Just shut up.

1236
01:15:55,555 --> 01:15:58,067
We're not supposed to talk
to the media and that's final.

1237
01:15:58,147 --> 01:15:59,785
No matter how much they lie?

1238
01:15:59,865 --> 01:16:00,899
Yes!

1239
01:16:01,408 --> 01:16:04,345
Learn to keep your mouth shut,
Dr. Abraham!

1240
01:16:05,511 --> 01:16:08,775
Never wrestle with a pig
Because you get dirty.

1241
01:16:08,962 --> 01:16:10,484
And the pig enjoys it.

1242
01:16:11,627 --> 01:16:12,963
We don't want to be a part of this fight.

1243
01:16:13,043 --> 01:16:14,896
We're fighting the virus.

1244
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:18,146
If you don't understand
then you can resign.

1245
01:16:22,293 --> 01:16:23,715
Anything else?

1246
01:16:24,213 --> 01:16:25,413
Yes, sir.

1247
01:16:26,859 --> 01:16:28,251
We got the monkeys.

1248
01:16:29,583 --> 01:16:31,437
Not just one, but 28.

1249
01:16:32,343 --> 01:16:34,065
They'll be at NIV by tomorrow evening.

1250
01:16:34,449 --> 01:16:36,069
Start the trial immediately.

1251
01:16:36,149 --> 01:16:37,335
Immediately.

1252
01:16:37,989 --> 01:16:39,975
How can I start immediately, sir?

1253
01:16:40,203 --> 01:16:42,875
We have to quarantine the monkeys first.

1254
01:16:42,958 --> 01:16:46,167
Then do hematology
and biochemistry tests on them.

1255
01:16:46,473 --> 01:16:48,021
We have to test them for TB.

1256
01:16:48,165 --> 01:16:50,283
Do x-rays and ultrasounds on them.

1257
01:16:50,415 --> 01:16:52,800
Do pathogen tests.

1258
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:54,589
Do bacteria cultures.

1259
01:16:54,669 --> 01:16:57,343
It'll take time, sir.
How can I start immediately?

1260
01:16:57,803 --> 01:17:00,323
These are delay tactics.

1261
01:17:00,847 --> 01:17:04,759
You told me you needed permission
to catch the monkeys within 24 hours.

1262
01:17:04,839 --> 01:17:06,276
We never told you,

1263
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:08,243
"How is that possible, ma'am?"

1264
01:17:09,260 --> 01:17:12,972
Lightning speed doesn't work one way!

1265
01:17:22,518 --> 01:17:24,282
Oh, my God!

1266
01:17:26,460 --> 01:17:29,584
I got him not just one but 28 monkeys,

1267
01:17:29,664 --> 01:17:32,022
and he didn't say a
single word of appreciation.

1268
01:17:32,466 --> 01:17:34,182
There is only one solution for everything!

1269
01:17:34,262 --> 01:17:36,474
You resign Priya! Fire Priya!

1270
01:17:37,002 --> 01:17:38,031
And lightning speed!

1271
01:17:38,111 --> 01:17:40,138
He's talking to me about lightning speed?

1272
01:17:40,494 --> 01:17:42,675
How can we do all this
at lightning speed?

1273
01:17:42,758 --> 01:17:44,925
How can do so many
tests at lightning speed?

1274
01:17:45,008 --> 01:17:46,175
Is it possible!

1275
01:17:46,922 --> 01:17:47,958
What is it?

1276
01:18:27,612 --> 01:18:29,370
I won't lose.

1277
01:18:49,495 --> 01:18:50,683
Dr. Bhargava.

1278
01:18:52,093 --> 01:18:54,295
Oh, Doc! Please,
please, please come in.

1279
01:18:56,041 --> 01:18:57,817
I came to say goodbye.

1280
01:18:58,909 --> 01:19:01,735
I'm retiring from ICMR today.

1281
01:19:02,161 --> 01:19:03,583
How could I forget that?

1282
01:19:04,405 --> 01:19:05,406
You can't retire.

1283
01:19:05,486 --> 01:19:08,153
I already approved
a year's extension for you.

1284
01:19:08,233 --> 01:19:11,394
No, no, sir,
I've made up my mind to leave.

1285
01:19:12,545 --> 01:19:14,909
I haven't taken a single
day off in the past 10 years.

1286
01:19:15,468 --> 01:19:19,001
I haven't been able to see my wife
in Pune since the lockdown.

1287
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,358
She fell down last month
and broke her leg.

1288
01:19:22,438 --> 01:19:23,619
How is she doing now?

1289
01:19:23,998 --> 01:19:25,673
- She's better now. Thank you.
- That's nice.

1290
01:19:28,125 --> 01:19:29,556
If this is what you want.

1291
01:19:30,731 --> 01:19:33,630
You are one of the
top scientists in India.

1292
01:19:33,985 --> 01:19:39,649
ICMR will always be proud
of you and your contributions.

1293
01:19:40,789 --> 01:19:42,091
- Thank you.
- Please come.

1294
01:19:43,441 --> 01:19:45,140
All the very best to you and your team.

1295
01:19:45,220 --> 01:19:46,724
Thank you.
Thank you very much.

1296
01:19:49,038 --> 01:19:50,974
But sir, please be careful.

1297
01:19:51,057 --> 01:19:53,057
The path to developing
the vaccine won't be an easy one.

1298
01:19:53,265 --> 01:19:55,849
Even the origins of
this virus is unclear.

1299
01:19:56,551 --> 01:19:59,384
If we don't know where it came from,

1300
01:19:59,516 --> 01:20:01,576
how can we find the perfect cure?

1301
01:20:02,661 --> 01:20:05,076
You still have doubts?

1302
01:20:05,647 --> 01:20:09,075
A good scientist always
has doubts, right?

1303
01:20:12,765 --> 01:20:16,557
The only difference is that no one
questions it openly anymore.

1304
01:20:16,637 --> 01:20:18,483
Those who do it,

1305
01:20:18,855 --> 01:20:21,651
do it behind closed doors,
like me, in whispers.

1306
01:20:22,143 --> 01:20:24,063
So, no one else hears it.

1307
01:20:24,143 --> 01:20:25,527
Hmm.

1308
01:20:25,695 --> 01:20:28,581
Now, whether it's on Google, Instagram,

1309
01:20:28,661 --> 01:20:31,670
Twitter, YouTube, Facebook...

1310
01:20:32,259 --> 01:20:35,857
If you ask any COVID-related questions,

1311
01:20:35,937 --> 01:20:37,632
you'll get banned.

1312
01:20:37,983 --> 01:20:42,093
Freedom of expression,
of speech is a bloody joke.

1313
01:20:43,233 --> 01:20:46,701
All the scientists
who asked questions at the Wuhan lab

1314
01:20:46,989 --> 01:20:48,471
just disappeared.

1315
01:20:48,993 --> 01:20:52,725
Do you still believe
this isn't a bio-war?

1316
01:20:55,774 --> 01:20:58,685
Here's a little gift from me.

1317
01:20:58,857 --> 01:21:01,475
It's a biography of Swami Vivekananda.

1318
01:21:02,330 --> 01:21:03,867
It'll come in handy after you retire.

1319
01:21:03,947 --> 01:21:05,655
Thank you.
Thank you so much.

1320
01:21:06,327 --> 01:21:08,889
Let's catch up later, okay?

1321
01:21:08,969 --> 01:21:11,061
Doc... Dr. Bhargava,

1322
01:21:11,193 --> 01:21:14,259
I just want us to make the best vaccine.

1323
01:21:14,339 --> 01:21:15,777
Of course, we will.

1324
01:21:15,975 --> 01:21:18,339
It won't be easy, though.

1325
01:21:18,885 --> 01:21:21,789
They'll do their best
to make sure we don't succeed.

1326
01:21:21,869 --> 01:21:23,427
And even if we do,

1327
01:21:24,081 --> 01:21:25,845
they'll block
international approvals.

1328
01:21:26,001 --> 01:21:27,945
Even on your retirement day,

1329
01:21:28,075 --> 01:21:31,281
you still have a strong
connection to this institution.

1330
01:21:31,539 --> 01:21:34,867
We're lucky to have had
the chance to work with you.

1331
01:21:36,159 --> 01:21:37,323
Dr. Bhargava,

1332
01:21:38,697 --> 01:21:40,383
This is my research.

1333
01:21:40,685 --> 01:21:41,466
Okay.

1334
01:21:41,546 --> 01:21:45,105
WHO will definitely
go to China to investigate.

1335
01:21:45,185 --> 01:21:46,776
If my theory is wrong,

1336
01:21:47,352 --> 01:21:48,456
then you can burn it.

1337
01:21:50,893 --> 01:21:51,985
Thank you.

1338
01:21:52,502 --> 01:21:56,985
What do you think
WHO will conclude?

1339
01:21:59,449 --> 01:22:01,825
Neither this nor that.

1340
01:22:03,140 --> 01:22:05,233
Neti-Neti.

1341
01:22:08,157 --> 01:22:10,269
We won't need to burn this.

1342
01:22:13,885 --> 01:22:18,367
VII
Non-Human Primate Trials

1343
01:22:20,713 --> 01:22:22,471
- Put the oxygen mask.
- Yes, ma'am.

1344
01:22:24,703 --> 01:22:26,377
Get the pulse oximeter.

1345
01:22:27,013 --> 01:22:28,183
Check the saturation.

1346
01:22:28,465 --> 01:22:29,373
95%.

1347
01:22:29,453 --> 01:22:31,749
Okay, now we'll start the inoculation.

1348
01:22:31,829 --> 01:22:33,344
First intranasal and then intratracheal.

1349
01:22:33,424 --> 01:22:35,355
- Okay, ma'am.
- Load the virus.

1350
01:22:37,641 --> 01:22:39,201
We can't do it, Dr. Lekshmy.

1351
01:22:39,345 --> 01:22:40,262
We can't.

1352
01:22:40,953 --> 01:22:42,613
We don't have the expertise.

1353
01:22:43,103 --> 01:22:44,279
We have failed again.

1354
01:22:52,955 --> 01:22:54,299
Dr. Lekshmy?

1355
01:23:01,876 --> 01:23:04,209
Ma'am, you didn't have
to come, we were...

1356
01:23:04,330 --> 01:23:06,404
No, no, this was rather important.

1357
01:23:06,484 --> 01:23:09,408
What is the status on the
Non-Human Primate Trials?

1358
01:23:09,715 --> 01:23:13,339
We have analyzed the vaccine
Candidates on the monkeys.

1359
01:23:13,527 --> 01:23:16,378
So, what's the delay?

1360
01:23:17,265 --> 01:23:19,166
Ma'am, no one has gone home for 20 days.

1361
01:23:19,246 --> 01:23:20,625
We are low on staff.

1362
01:23:20,705 --> 01:23:23,852
Dr. Sreelekshmy hasn't slept for 3 nights.

1363
01:23:24,019 --> 01:23:26,436
She has the rest of her
life to catch up on her sleep.

1364
01:23:28,299 --> 01:23:32,644
We need to complete the monkey
trial protocols immediately.

1365
01:23:33,195 --> 01:23:34,567
Yeah ma'am, but we're trying our best.

1366
01:23:34,647 --> 01:23:37,345
No buts, Dr. Pragya.
This is a crisis situation.

1367
01:23:37,425 --> 01:23:39,411
Immediately means immediately.

1368
01:23:44,655 --> 01:23:46,725
As if I don't understand it's a crisis.

1369
01:23:47,247 --> 01:23:49,617
Get cracking, I'll join you in a moment.

1370
01:24:14,790 --> 01:24:16,000
Sree?

1371
01:24:17,598 --> 01:24:18,726
Sree?

1372
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:21,084
Create.

1373
01:24:22,422 --> 01:24:23,628
Destroy.

1374
01:24:25,704 --> 01:24:27,138
Sree?

1375
01:24:27,828 --> 01:24:28,932
Create.

1376
01:24:30,462 --> 01:24:31,806
Destroy.

1377
01:24:34,728 --> 01:24:35,970
Sree!

1378
01:24:36,216 --> 01:24:38,004
I've been looking for you, Sree.

1379
01:24:39,394 --> 01:24:40,402
We got results from the lab.

1380
01:24:40,482 --> 01:24:42,926
We need to analyze them
and you're sitting here?

1381
01:24:43,646 --> 01:24:47,135
Ma'am, the problem is that
our suit has 4 BARS of pressure

1382
01:24:47,218 --> 01:24:49,398
and our atmosphere has high pressure.

1383
01:24:49,478 --> 01:24:50,828
Yeah, so?

1384
01:24:50,908 --> 01:24:55,010
The monkeys we're testing have
to be anesthetized, then examined.

1385
01:24:55,093 --> 01:24:58,246
We take x-rays, do a bronchoscopy
on their four lungs, and then...

1386
01:24:58,326 --> 01:25:00,124
We also have to collect swab samples.

1387
01:25:00,243 --> 01:25:03,243
You're wasting my time
explaining the whole process.

1388
01:25:03,656 --> 01:25:05,442
What's your problem, Sree?

1389
01:25:05,595 --> 01:25:09,843
Ma'am, the problem is that we have to
do all this on 20 monkeys every other day,

1390
01:25:09,923 --> 01:25:11,840
and we don't have
the expertise to do it.

1391
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,620
But Sree, you are the best
laboratory animal scientist.

1392
01:25:17,601 --> 01:25:18,671
No.

1393
01:25:19,108 --> 01:25:20,356
No, I'm not.

1394
01:25:20,659 --> 01:25:21,946
I failed everybody.

1395
01:25:22,252 --> 01:25:23,988
I failed NIV, I failed you.

1396
01:25:24,154 --> 01:25:26,112
Sree, you didn't.
Sree...

1397
01:25:26,303 --> 01:25:27,404
you didn't, Sree.

1398
01:25:28,333 --> 01:25:29,446
Ma'am?

1399
01:25:29,725 --> 01:25:30,946
I have a solution, ma'am.

1400
01:25:32,581 --> 01:25:36,206
We need a doctor who knows how
to do precision bronchoscopy.

1401
01:25:36,782 --> 01:25:37,943
What are you doing here, Anita?

1402
01:25:38,023 --> 01:25:39,560
Wasn't your mother-in-law sick?

1403
01:25:40,876 --> 01:25:42,839
Ma'am, she died in the morning.

1404
01:25:44,971 --> 01:25:46,257
I'm sorry.

1405
01:25:47,189 --> 01:25:48,941
But then what are you doing here?

1406
01:25:49,401 --> 01:25:52,904
Ma'am, we anyway can't
go to dead bodies now.

1407
01:25:52,984 --> 01:25:54,137
It's better I work.

1408
01:25:54,977 --> 01:25:57,683
This will be a great tribute to her,
by making the vaccine.

1409
01:26:01,644 --> 01:26:02,644
What are we doing!

1410
01:26:02,972 --> 01:26:03,935
What are we doing!

1411
01:26:04,682 --> 01:26:06,866
I know we're all going to die!

1412
01:26:06,946 --> 01:26:09,035
We are all going to die, I know!

1413
01:26:09,179 --> 01:26:11,473
We're all going to die!

1414
01:26:12,985 --> 01:26:15,207
Sree? Sree, calm down.

1415
01:26:16,743 --> 01:26:17,901
Look at me.

1416
01:26:19,604 --> 01:26:20,814
Come here.

1417
01:26:21,808 --> 01:26:22,970
Come here.

1418
01:26:29,365 --> 01:26:31,235
It's okay.

1419
01:26:33,990 --> 01:26:36,066
We're not going to die, girls.

1420
01:26:37,990 --> 01:26:39,532
We're scientists.

1421
01:26:43,032 --> 01:26:44,615
We fight.

1422
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:48,999
We're brave.

1423
01:26:50,865 --> 01:26:52,443
We can make it.

1424
01:26:57,039 --> 01:27:01,485
You know why we have
so many women in our lab?

1425
01:27:03,381 --> 01:27:05,179
Because we are brave.

1426
01:27:05,259 --> 01:27:06,618
We can do it.

1427
01:27:07,905 --> 01:27:09,363
And we can fix a good meal!

1428
01:27:09,495 --> 01:27:12,099
I'm hungry. Come on, let's eat.

1429
01:27:14,275 --> 01:27:16,775
Oh Sree, you made me walk so far.

1430
01:27:20,019 --> 01:27:22,641
Pragya, I told you to leave it,
I'll wash them.

1431
01:27:25,431 --> 01:27:27,639
Why do you never listen to me, Pragya?

1432
01:27:29,877 --> 01:27:32,109
Anu, stop your mom
from doing the chores.

1433
01:27:33,729 --> 01:27:36,033
You only come home for a few hours

1434
01:27:36,537 --> 01:27:38,109
and you're already
busy with all this stuff.

1435
01:27:41,805 --> 01:27:43,659
This is too much. Stop it now!

1436
01:27:43,821 --> 01:27:45,225
Stop what?

1437
01:27:45,411 --> 01:27:47,823
I have this under control.
I don't need your help here.

1438
01:27:48,015 --> 01:27:49,611
I can handle your work too.

1439
01:27:50,091 --> 01:27:51,485
Sanjay, I...

1440
01:27:51,565 --> 01:27:53,781
I need your help making the vaccine.

1441
01:27:53,925 --> 01:27:55,193
Vaccine! Vaccine! Vaccine!

1442
01:27:55,318 --> 01:27:56,695
There is life other than
The vaccine, you know?

1443
01:27:56,775 --> 01:27:58,809
There won't be any life
if there is no vaccine!

1444
01:28:09,717 --> 01:28:10,875
I'm sorry.

1445
01:28:12,147 --> 01:28:15,969
Sanjay, we're stuck
with the monkey trials.

1446
01:28:16,551 --> 01:28:19,683
We need a neurosurgeon
who can give anesthesia

1447
01:28:19,763 --> 01:28:21,519
and do the whole process in 20 minutes.

1448
01:28:23,739 --> 01:28:24,927
Will you help us?

1449
01:28:33,938 --> 01:28:36,537
You haven't worn any lipstick
in the past six months, not even once.

1450
01:28:36,617 --> 01:28:38,091
Come on, Sanjay.

1451
01:28:38,241 --> 01:28:39,897
And the perfume I got
you for our anniversary?

1452
01:28:39,980 --> 01:28:43,605
I still haven't unpacked it.
I didn't have time.

1453
01:28:53,385 --> 01:28:54,609
Careful.

1454
01:28:55,437 --> 01:28:56,856
Yeah, move slowly.

1455
01:28:57,064 --> 01:28:58,356
Lock the table.

1456
01:29:01,803 --> 01:29:03,265
Put the oxygen mask.

1457
01:29:03,345 --> 01:29:05,275
Yeah, now put the pulse oximeter.

1458
01:29:05,355 --> 01:29:06,689
Check the saturation and breathing.

1459
01:29:07,203 --> 01:29:08,252
What's the reading?

1460
01:29:08,414 --> 01:29:09,373
98.

1461
01:29:09,453 --> 01:29:12,448
So firstly,
we'll go for intranasal inoculation.

1462
01:29:13,129 --> 01:29:14,719
Give me 1ml of the virus.

1463
01:29:22,055 --> 01:29:23,717
Check the pulse oximeter again.

1464
01:29:24,203 --> 01:29:26,927
So now, next we'll do
the intratracheal inoculation.

1465
01:29:27,083 --> 01:29:28,463
Give me the laryngoscope.

1466
01:29:29,645 --> 01:29:31,013
Get the laryngoscope.

1467
01:29:38,375 --> 01:29:39,971
Give me the intratracheal tube.

1468
01:29:44,552 --> 01:29:46,179
Give me 1ml of the virus.

1469
01:29:56,206 --> 01:29:57,656
Now put the animal
in the recovery room.

1470
01:29:57,736 --> 01:29:58,684
Okay.

1471
01:30:02,428 --> 01:30:03,347
- Dr. Prithvi.
- Yes, ma'am?

1472
01:30:03,427 --> 01:30:05,334
- The tests have to be accurate.
- Okay.

1473
01:30:07,436 --> 01:30:08,588
How are the monkeys doing?

1474
01:30:08,668 --> 01:30:09,677
All good.

1475
01:30:11,021 --> 01:30:14,707
Dr. Pragya needs the
result to be accurate.

1476
01:30:14,787 --> 01:30:16,277
We're doing our best, ma'am.

1477
01:30:16,357 --> 01:30:17,493
Yes.

1478
01:30:21,508 --> 01:30:25,394
Observation Day 1

1479
01:30:28,389 --> 01:30:29,576
What's the body temperature?

1480
01:30:29,656 --> 01:30:31,192
It's 38.2.

1481
01:30:37,346 --> 01:30:38,570
How's the food intake?

1482
01:30:38,650 --> 01:30:39,770
It's good, quite normal.

1483
01:30:39,850 --> 01:30:40,869
And the water intake?

1484
01:30:40,949 --> 01:30:41,911
Also normal.

1485
01:30:41,991 --> 01:30:43,716
- Any fecal matter?
- No.

1486
01:30:43,796 --> 01:30:46,792
Mom, have you ever heard the
story of Thor Ragnarok?

1487
01:30:47,421 --> 01:30:48,727
Are you even paying attention to me?

1488
01:30:49,135 --> 01:30:50,604
Yeah, of course I am.

1489
01:30:51,002 --> 01:30:52,937
Then repeat to me what I just said.

1490
01:31:00,453 --> 01:31:01,891
Did you put your eye drops?

1491
01:31:01,971 --> 01:31:03,206
Yep, I did.

1492
01:31:03,286 --> 01:31:04,712
Put on your glasses, okay?

1493
01:31:09,436 --> 01:31:11,632
- There is any food left over?
- He ate it all.

1494
01:31:11,712 --> 01:31:13,621
Did you collect fecal samples?

1495
01:31:13,804 --> 01:31:14,840
Yes.

1496
01:31:35,129 --> 01:31:37,121
Please come to my house immediately.

1497
01:31:45,748 --> 01:31:47,001
What's the body temperature?

1498
01:31:47,081 --> 01:31:48,416
38.2.

1499
01:31:48,496 --> 01:31:49,569
And what's the body weight?

1500
01:31:49,649 --> 01:31:50,606
5kgs.

1501
01:31:50,686 --> 01:31:51,806
How's the activity?

1502
01:31:51,886 --> 01:31:52,771
Normal.

1503
01:31:52,891 --> 01:31:54,154
Food and water intake?

1504
01:31:54,237 --> 01:31:55,070
Normal.

1505
01:31:55,154 --> 01:31:56,630
- Fecal matter?
- Okay.

1506
01:31:56,765 --> 01:31:58,358
- Urine?
- Okay.

1507
01:31:58,934 --> 01:32:01,349
I'm sorry if I have done anything
to hurt you.

1508
01:32:01,726 --> 01:32:02,768
But because of your help,

1509
01:32:02,848 --> 01:32:04,717
there's going to be
a great vaccine one day.

1510
01:32:04,797 --> 01:32:07,367
And a lot of lives are going
to be saved.

1511
01:32:25,351 --> 01:32:27,097
- Ma'am...
- Filter coffee.

1512
01:32:37,717 --> 01:32:38,779
Tell me.

1513
01:32:40,969 --> 01:32:42,619
Ma'am, the macaques...

1514
01:32:44,851 --> 01:32:47,461
they have shown strong
immune response to our vaccine.

1515
01:32:47,863 --> 01:32:53,053
The vaccinated family, unlike subjects
in the placebo group,

1516
01:32:53,599 --> 01:32:55,189
did not develop pneumonia.

1517
01:32:55,615 --> 01:32:59,569
his vaccine has shown
tremendous immunogenicity

1518
01:32:59,649 --> 01:33:01,495
and protective efficacy.

1519
01:33:01,575 --> 01:33:04,183
If it is safe for monkeys

1520
01:33:04,789 --> 01:33:07,411
then it is has
to be safe in humans, 100%.

1521
01:33:08,815 --> 01:33:10,509
We're just this close, ma'am.

1522
01:33:11,077 --> 01:33:12,919
Just this close.

1523
01:33:14,715 --> 01:33:17,007
Ma'am, our vaccine is ready.

1524
01:33:17,569 --> 01:33:18,655
Almost.

1525
01:33:29,833 --> 01:33:31,297
- Here.
- Ma'am?

1526
01:33:31,951 --> 01:33:33,445
This is Mysore Pak.

1527
01:33:33,583 --> 01:33:34,987
Have it, have it.
You'll like it.

1528
01:33:35,203 --> 01:33:36,372
Thanks, ma'am.

1529
01:33:38,221 --> 01:33:39,455
Pragya...

1530
01:33:43,027 --> 01:33:44,729
I'm sorry about the other day.

1531
01:33:44,809 --> 01:33:46,057
Ma'am, no.

1532
01:33:46,189 --> 01:33:47,413
I mean it.

1533
01:33:47,683 --> 01:33:48,895
Ma'am, please.

1534
01:33:49,057 --> 01:33:51,385
We're all working under a lot of stress.

1535
01:33:52,363 --> 01:33:53,581
That's true.

1536
01:33:54,571 --> 01:33:57,635
Wasn't your daughter
dealing with an eye infection?

1537
01:33:57,715 --> 01:33:59,431
How's she holding up these days?

1538
01:34:01,567 --> 01:34:07,305
Well, Sanjay and I got caught
up with all the vaccine trials,

1539
01:34:07,385 --> 01:34:10,387
so, we had to reschedule
her surgery, ma'am.

1540
01:34:10,467 --> 01:34:11,137
Oh.

1541
01:34:11,217 --> 01:34:14,719
The infection has actually spread in size,
but she's a brave child.

1542
01:34:14,835 --> 01:34:18,099
I told her today that I'd swing by

1543
01:34:18,648 --> 01:34:20,657
and take her in for the surgery.

1544
01:34:20,737 --> 01:34:22,618
And she told me, "Mom,

1545
01:34:23,535 --> 01:34:25,952
I don't really care
if you come home or not,

1546
01:34:29,150 --> 01:34:34,577
but you better get
that vaccine ready soon."

1547
01:34:42,327 --> 01:34:43,210
Sorry, ma'am.

1548
01:34:43,290 --> 01:34:44,202
No.

1549
01:34:45,314 --> 01:34:46,888
Our children don't deserve this.

1550
01:34:46,968 --> 01:34:48,175
No, they don't.

1551
01:34:49,442 --> 01:34:50,969
You've been very brave.

1552
01:34:53,426 --> 01:34:54,829
Thank you, ma'am.

1553
01:35:22,672 --> 01:35:27,082
IX 15 August

1554
01:35:30,875 --> 01:35:36,537
"Sing a sweet song to me."

1555
01:35:39,491 --> 01:35:45,191
"What happened?
Don't worry what will happen!"

1556
01:35:46,016 --> 01:35:50,208
"This time is all we have
Live a little. "

1557
01:35:50,288 --> 01:35:54,405
"Love you, life. "

1558
01:35:54,485 --> 01:35:58,769
"This time is all we have
Live a little. "

1559
01:35:58,849 --> 01:36:03,019
"Love you, life!"

1560
01:36:03,099 --> 01:36:08,532
"This time is all we have
Live a little."

1561
01:36:10,884 --> 01:36:12,774
How are you feeling today?
Dr. Bhargava?

1562
01:36:12,917 --> 01:36:14,228
Better.

1563
01:36:15,474 --> 01:36:17,528
There's a huge amount
of patients out there.

1564
01:36:17,881 --> 01:36:20,214
So why do they only have
two doctors and two nurses?

1565
01:36:20,904 --> 01:36:22,277
Can't do much about it, sir.

1566
01:36:22,794 --> 01:36:25,388
Seventy percent of our
staff has come down with COVID.

1567
01:36:25,468 --> 01:36:27,818
Guess you didn't take
the necessary precautions.

1568
01:36:27,898 --> 01:36:30,669
We're following all the
necessary precautions, but...

1569
01:36:31,283 --> 01:36:33,563
This PPE kit is so stuffy,

1570
01:36:33,705 --> 01:36:36,210
yet we're wearing it all day and night.

1571
01:36:36,290 --> 01:36:38,557
We can't even take
a quick break to eat, sir.

1572
01:36:39,735 --> 01:36:42,946
Sir, the medical staff's
immunity is so weak

1573
01:36:43,110 --> 01:36:46,201
that it'll be a miracle
if we make it through this.

1574
01:36:47,273 --> 01:36:49,689
When was the last time you went home?

1575
01:36:50,041 --> 01:36:51,510
It's been 22 days, sir.

1576
01:36:52,368 --> 01:36:53,802
I father had passed away.

1577
01:36:54,270 --> 01:36:55,722
He had comorbidity.

1578
01:36:57,408 --> 01:36:59,628
If only we had a vaccine, maybe...

1579
01:37:02,004 --> 01:37:03,462
And yet you're dancing?

1580
01:37:05,676 --> 01:37:07,350
Sir, you see that girl over there?

1581
01:37:08,220 --> 01:37:11,010
She just had a baby a few days ago.

1582
01:37:11,574 --> 01:37:12,630
Okay.

1583
01:37:12,710 --> 01:37:15,852
She's on a ventilator,
but she's still hopeful.

1584
01:37:17,634 --> 01:37:19,434
That hope is her vaccine, sir.

1585
01:37:21,366 --> 01:37:23,673
We'll get a vaccine...

1586
01:37:24,450 --> 01:37:28,048
Soon enough.
Just keep that hope alive.

1587
01:37:29,430 --> 01:37:31,752
The vaccine will come
when it's ready, Doctor,

1588
01:37:32,820 --> 01:37:36,468
but I don't think we'll
still be alive to take it.

1589
01:37:38,196 --> 01:37:39,642
You'll stay alive.

1590
01:37:40,230 --> 01:37:41,808
You have to.

1591
01:37:41,888 --> 01:37:43,380
Hmm?

1592
01:38:41,050 --> 01:38:43,357
Hello, Priya.

1593
01:38:43,544 --> 01:38:45,260
Hi, Nivedita.

1594
01:38:45,949 --> 01:38:49,517
Sir, our vaccine candidates
are absolutely safe in animals.

1595
01:38:50,041 --> 01:38:52,153
It's time to ask Bharat Biotech to move

1596
01:38:52,233 --> 01:38:54,685
quickly with the Drugs
Controller General of India

1597
01:38:54,765 --> 01:38:57,919
and secure permission for
Phase I and Phase II human trials.

1598
01:38:58,447 --> 01:39:00,145
It's July 2nd already,

1599
01:39:01,483 --> 01:39:07,116
can we get the Phase I human
trials data by the 15th of August?

1600
01:39:07,241 --> 01:39:09,450
We still haven't picked
the sites yet, sir.

1601
01:39:10,213 --> 01:39:13,812
Choosing and preparing
over 100 human candidates

1602
01:39:13,892 --> 01:39:14,950
is going to take some time, sir.

1603
01:39:15,033 --> 01:39:16,548
It's not going to be that easy.

1604
01:39:16,773 --> 01:39:17,955
Yeah.

1605
01:39:18,406 --> 01:39:21,684
I have always seen the
Patient from the top.

1606
01:39:23,138 --> 01:39:26,366
I see the fear of death in their eyes.

1607
01:39:26,446 --> 01:39:29,418
But the doctors,
they have hope shining in their eyes.

1608
01:39:30,205 --> 01:39:31,987
Today, for the first time,

1609
01:39:32,070 --> 01:39:34,064
I had to lie down as a patient

1610
01:39:34,592 --> 01:39:36,338
and had a doctor staring down at me.

1611
01:39:36,418 --> 01:39:41,146
And there was fear of death
in both our eyes.

1612
01:39:42,699 --> 01:39:46,330
That last bit of hope will die too,
Nivedita,

1613
01:39:47,013 --> 01:39:51,279
if we don't roll out
our vaccine real soon.

1614
01:39:53,456 --> 01:39:57,926
Tell all the agencies
to have it done by August 15th.

1615
01:39:58,670 --> 01:40:00,680
Are you sure about
the 15th August deadline?

1616
01:40:02,083 --> 01:40:03,830
It's just 43 days away.

1617
01:40:04,871 --> 01:40:09,194
We determine the time,
the time doesn't determine us.

1618
01:40:09,850 --> 01:40:12,872
Draft a letter,
send it to me for signature.

1619
01:40:13,352 --> 01:40:14,582
August 15th.

1620
01:40:28,695 --> 01:40:30,316
Yes!

1621
01:40:30,609 --> 01:40:32,192
Yes! Yes! Yes!

1622
01:40:32,272 --> 01:40:33,294
What is it, ma'am?

1623
01:40:35,311 --> 01:40:40,718
They're going to roll out their vaccine
on August 15th,

1624
01:40:40,798 --> 01:40:42,416
but we got them!

1625
01:40:42,496 --> 01:40:43,856
Yes!

1626
01:40:43,936 --> 01:40:47,228
This is "The End" of Vishwaguru!

1627
01:40:47,444 --> 01:40:51,680
But ma'am,
releasing the vaccine early is good news.

1628
01:40:51,824 --> 01:40:53,030
What's the problem with that?

1629
01:40:53,110 --> 01:40:55,328
Come on over, Auntie.
I'll fill you in.

1630
01:40:57,715 --> 01:40:59,299
They aren't releasing the vaccine early.

1631
01:40:59,382 --> 01:41:01,215
They are rushing it.

1632
01:41:01,562 --> 01:41:03,452
They picked August 15th as the big day.

1633
01:41:03,890 --> 01:41:05,256
Do the math, Auntie.

1634
01:41:05,336 --> 01:41:07,676
That's why they're
breaking all the protocols.

1635
01:41:08,744 --> 01:41:12,272
Ma'am, I know you're
not a fan of this Government,

1636
01:41:12,776 --> 01:41:15,080
but why are you taking
it out on the vaccine?

1637
01:41:15,692 --> 01:41:17,948
This vaccine is supposed
to help the poor, right?

1638
01:41:19,394 --> 01:41:22,754
Auntie, you still don't get me.

1639
01:41:23,360 --> 01:41:26,210
Ever hear the tale of a king
who couldn't die?

1640
01:41:27,050 --> 01:41:29,642
No matter what you did,
he'd never die.

1641
01:41:30,314 --> 01:41:36,260
Then a scholar figured out
his life was stuck in a parrot's neck.

1642
01:41:36,974 --> 01:41:41,468
He snapped the parrot's neck
and the king died.

1643
01:41:43,832 --> 01:41:47,807
Our King's life
Is stuck in the vaccine.

1644
01:42:05,266 --> 01:42:08,364
Why aren't you answering the media?

1645
01:42:08,444 --> 01:42:11,321
- Do you not have any answers for us?
- Let's go, sir. Come.

1646
01:42:14,687 --> 01:42:16,187
Dr. Balram Bhargava!

1647
01:42:16,267 --> 01:42:18,527
Can you enlighten us on how
you went from being a scientist

1648
01:42:18,607 --> 01:42:21,683
to being the government's puppet?

1649
01:42:25,457 --> 01:42:29,681
ICMR and Bharat Biotech have
wrapped up the animal studies.

1650
01:42:29,825 --> 01:42:31,901
Now it's time for the Phase I trials,

1651
01:42:32,075 --> 01:42:34,997
where they'll test this vaccine on humans.

1652
01:42:35,171 --> 01:42:38,039
ICMR set a deadline of August 15th,

1653
01:42:38,177 --> 01:42:41,182
so, the investigators get just 38 days

1654
01:42:41,266 --> 01:42:43,557
to find volunteers and test the vaccine.

1655
01:42:43,721 --> 01:42:47,909
Would you be willing
to give this vaccine,

1656
01:42:48,119 --> 01:42:51,395
made in just 38 days,
to your kids, family, or parents?

1657
01:42:51,545 --> 01:42:54,227
Something that's not backed
by any logic or science,

1658
01:42:54,803 --> 01:42:59,339
and is just a sham to score political
points for the upcoming elections?

1659
01:42:59,777 --> 01:43:02,385
This is Rohini Singh Dhulia signing off.

1660
01:43:02,465 --> 01:43:04,727
Good night, sleep well.

1661
01:43:09,023 --> 01:43:10,673
Everything will be okay.

1662
01:43:12,005 --> 01:43:13,211
Don't worry.

1663
01:43:14,039 --> 01:43:16,013
Everything will be okay.

1664
01:43:18,269 --> 01:43:20,537
Yes, everything will be okay.

1665
01:43:36,809 --> 01:43:38,387
This is not right, sir.

1666
01:43:39,575 --> 01:43:41,729
Our internal letter got leaked.

1667
01:43:43,019 --> 01:43:47,427
All we wanted was
to streamline the system so,

1668
01:43:47,511 --> 01:43:51,161
we could cut through the red tape and

1669
01:43:53,333 --> 01:43:55,073
get those trials done fast.

1670
01:43:56,603 --> 01:43:59,201
My actions made the government look bad.

1671
01:43:59,969 --> 01:44:01,835
I take full responsibility for it.

1672
01:44:04,127 --> 01:44:05,447
Here's my resignation letter.

1673
01:44:08,015 --> 01:44:09,827
I didn't take you to be a quitter, Balram.

1674
01:44:11,878 --> 01:44:15,011
You dived to look for a pearl,

1675
01:44:15,641 --> 01:44:17,117
but you got scared of the waves?

1676
01:44:17,801 --> 01:44:20,663
Pearls are always found
in deep waters.

1677
01:44:21,425 --> 01:44:23,969
Failure is just a stepping
stone toward success.

1678
01:44:25,415 --> 01:44:29,261
It's time to fix the mistakes,

1679
01:44:30,533 --> 01:44:31,829
not give up.

1680
01:44:34,583 --> 01:44:36,491
So, tell me, are we still moving forward
with making that vaccine, or what?

1681
01:44:38,237 --> 01:44:39,827
You bet we are, sir.

1682
01:44:42,599 --> 01:44:44,993
We've got three phases
of human trials to go through.

1683
01:44:45,073 --> 01:44:46,889
Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III.

1684
01:44:46,969 --> 01:44:49,601
After that, we have to manufacture
it and then distribute it.

1685
01:44:49,681 --> 01:44:51,683
This is going to take a while.

1686
01:44:52,283 --> 01:44:56,543
But if we do the trials simultaneously
instead of one after the other,

1687
01:44:57,263 --> 01:44:59,615
we can speed up the vaccine rollout.

1688
01:45:01,181 --> 01:45:02,661
So, what's the problem?

1689
01:45:02,828 --> 01:45:05,469
We can run Phase I and
Phase II at the same time,

1690
01:45:05,549 --> 01:45:10,379
but we can't start Phase III
until we get approval.

1691
01:45:10,871 --> 01:45:12,419
We are stuck there.

1692
01:45:20,841 --> 01:45:22,723
My boss always says

1693
01:45:22,803 --> 01:45:25,542
that destiny will have your back

1694
01:45:26,690 --> 01:45:28,580
if you have good intentions.

1695
01:45:29,729 --> 01:45:31,334
Take a look at this, Dr. Bhargava.

1696
01:45:31,829 --> 01:45:38,198
The drug controller published
a gazette notice on March 19th, 2019,

1697
01:45:38,686 --> 01:45:40,485
a year before COVID hit,

1698
01:45:40,565 --> 01:45:45,923
which states that if a drug
or vaccine passes Phase II successfully,

1699
01:45:46,055 --> 01:45:51,251
emergency authorization can be given
in national interest after Phase II.

1700
01:45:51,953 --> 01:45:55,739
Basically, the vaccination process
can start before Phase III even happens.

1701
01:45:58,775 --> 01:46:00,557
So, when are we rolling out the vaccine?

1702
01:46:02,711 --> 01:46:04,265
Very soon, sir.

1703
01:46:04,345 --> 01:46:05,433
We'll be the fastest ones
to make it.

1704
01:46:05,513 --> 01:46:07,684
And it will be the safest.

1705
01:46:08,668 --> 01:46:11,741
India's only indigenous vaccine.

1706
01:46:12,183 --> 01:46:13,681
India's very own vaccine.

1707
01:46:15,435 --> 01:46:16,727
Then go and make it.

1708
01:46:16,935 --> 01:46:18,060
Sir.

1709
01:46:19,993 --> 01:46:21,102
Thank you, sir.

1710
01:46:26,275 --> 01:46:29,035
You don't get anything
without working towards it.

1711
01:46:29,875 --> 01:46:32,054
Those who dare to win, never lose.

1712
01:46:34,437 --> 01:46:39,068
X
The Roll-out

1713
01:46:45,091 --> 01:46:47,228
I'm Sharath from Fever FM.

1714
01:46:47,308 --> 01:46:52,177
I won't ask you how your year was.

1715
01:46:52,335 --> 01:46:55,597
We know how it was.

1716
01:46:55,677 --> 01:46:58,567
I don't want to remind you
Of the bad memories of last year.

1717
01:46:58,647 --> 01:47:02,460
Instead I want to give you a good news

1718
01:47:02,544 --> 01:47:04,710
That we have all been waiting for.

1719
01:47:04,794 --> 01:47:11,204
CDSCO gave Covaxin the green
light for restricted emergency use today.

1720
01:47:11,284 --> 01:47:14,076
This will give the whole
country a renewed sense of hope.

1721
01:47:14,233 --> 01:47:21,057
Just so you know, Covaxin is
India's very first indigenous vaccine,

1722
01:47:21,137 --> 01:47:27,409
created by ICMR and NIV scientists working
in collaboration with Bharat Biotech.

1723
01:47:27,489 --> 01:47:30,199
It's being called a huge
Victory for Indian scientists,

1724
01:47:30,279 --> 01:47:33,042
who didn't take help
from other countries

1725
01:47:33,122 --> 01:47:37,340
and made India even more self-reliant.

1726
01:47:37,420 --> 01:47:40,677
So, friends, let's begin
This year with a bang.

1727
01:48:01,941 --> 01:48:05,032
Now the media will be silenced!

1728
01:48:10,226 --> 01:48:11,768
Yes!

1729
01:48:13,280 --> 01:48:14,918
Yes!

1730
01:48:18,794 --> 01:48:21,380
Yes! Yes!

1731
01:48:45,776 --> 01:48:46,940
Thank you, sir.

1732
01:48:53,018 --> 01:48:55,550
And finally, the big day is here.

1733
01:48:55,630 --> 01:48:59,260
India has kicked off
its mega vaccination drive.

1734
01:48:59,343 --> 01:49:01,082
3 crore frontline workers will be

1735
01:49:01,214 --> 01:49:04,712
the first people
to be administered the vaccine.

1736
01:49:08,522 --> 01:49:12,093
The first healthcare worker
in the country has been administered

1737
01:49:12,177 --> 01:49:14,690
the very first dose
of the vaccine.

1738
01:49:14,834 --> 01:49:19,052
This marks the first step in humanity's
Fight against the virus.

1739
01:49:39,503 --> 01:49:44,029
Okay, so you take care
of the politicians.

1740
01:49:44,109 --> 01:49:45,123
Sure.

1741
01:49:47,248 --> 01:49:48,899
You take care of the celebs.

1742
01:49:49,053 --> 01:49:50,136
Sure.

1743
01:50:40,838 --> 01:50:44,625
What's with the
sudden drop in vaccination numbers?

1744
01:50:45,760 --> 01:50:48,113
People are scared
to take the vaccine, sir.

1745
01:50:49,714 --> 01:50:52,032
In some small town in
Uttar Pradesh called Barabanki,

1746
01:50:52,227 --> 01:50:55,617
people straight up jumped into
a river to avoid getting vaccinated.

1747
01:50:56,072 --> 01:50:58,287
And in Kerala, people are climbing
up trees to dodge the vaccine.

1748
01:50:58,449 --> 01:51:02,221
The Vice Chancellor of
Aligarh Muslim University said

1749
01:51:02,301 --> 01:51:06,699
that 18 of their professors died because
they were hesitant to get vaccinated.

1750
01:51:07,197 --> 01:51:09,051
And sir, I have a report here...

1751
01:51:10,497 --> 01:51:12,105
Here. Here's the report.

1752
01:51:12,447 --> 01:51:17,817
This report says that health workers
in India get attacked the most worldwide.

1753
01:51:19,983 --> 01:51:21,921
So, what's the bottom line here?

1754
01:51:22,167 --> 01:51:24,873
Well, I have emailed you 14 articles.

1755
01:51:24,953 --> 01:51:26,595
And I have them right here.

1756
01:51:27,243 --> 01:51:30,573
All of them are from The Daily Wire.

1757
01:51:30,819 --> 01:51:34,359
And I have crossed verified
the data with all scientific bodies.

1758
01:51:34,442 --> 01:51:39,234
Turns out, these articles were written
to make people doubt the vaccine.

1759
01:51:39,771 --> 01:51:43,431
All 100% fake articles
with malicious intentions.

1760
01:51:43,605 --> 01:51:45,705
What should be our course of action?

1761
01:51:46,005 --> 01:51:47,175
Expose them, sir.

1762
01:51:48,171 --> 01:51:50,073
Do a press conference and expose them.

1763
01:51:50,349 --> 01:51:51,699
That won't do much good.

1764
01:51:52,773 --> 01:51:55,341
They'll just publish
a tiny blurb on page 5 or 7

1765
01:51:55,421 --> 01:51:57,939
and keep writing their fake articles.

1766
01:51:58,095 --> 01:52:01,419
Instead, you should
talk to Krishna Ella's team.

1767
01:52:02,229 --> 01:52:06,411
Tell Bharat Biotech
to file a court case against them.

1768
01:52:07,101 --> 01:52:08,453
A court case, sir?

1769
01:52:11,203 --> 01:52:13,629
Do people in India ever win these cases?

1770
01:52:14,031 --> 01:52:15,687
Well, that's what our
courts are for, right?

1771
01:52:16,821 --> 01:52:17,961
Even I don't know.

1772
01:52:20,175 --> 01:52:21,951
This is a media trial, sir.

1773
01:52:22,995 --> 01:52:24,981
We'll have to fight
back through the media.

1774
01:52:25,359 --> 01:52:26,883
No, Dr. Priya.

1775
01:52:27,867 --> 01:52:31,563
We're all about following the Constitution
and the law of the land.

1776
01:52:32,019 --> 01:52:35,895
We have to handle this
in the right way.

1777
01:52:36,099 --> 01:52:40,185
Even if it results in unconstitutional
and inhumane deaths?

1778
01:52:40,335 --> 01:52:42,387
Let the courts decide it.

1779
01:52:46,030 --> 01:52:48,468
Was this your "the eye of the fish", sir?

1780
01:52:54,938 --> 01:52:56,564
Good night.

1781
01:53:12,385 --> 01:53:13,739
You wrote this article.

1782
01:53:14,781 --> 01:53:16,014
You wrote this one too.

1783
01:53:16,643 --> 01:53:17,830
And this one.

1784
01:53:17,910 --> 01:53:19,002
And this one.

1785
01:53:19,082 --> 01:53:20,005
And this.

1786
01:53:20,085 --> 01:53:21,299
You wrote all of these!

1787
01:53:24,179 --> 01:53:25,105
Yeah, so?

1788
01:53:25,185 --> 01:53:26,713
What are they based on, huh?

1789
01:53:26,958 --> 01:53:28,120
What's going on here?

1790
01:53:28,754 --> 01:53:30,289
What are you doing, Rohini?

1791
01:53:30,481 --> 01:53:31,470
What do you mean?

1792
01:53:31,778 --> 01:53:34,182
I'm just reporting the truth.

1793
01:53:34,262 --> 01:53:35,296
The truth?

1794
01:53:35,657 --> 01:53:37,576
Do you even know that
Bharat Biotech has filed

1795
01:53:37,656 --> 01:53:41,291
a 1 billion rupee defamation lawsuit
against us for spreading fake news?

1796
01:53:41,588 --> 01:53:43,196
Are you even aware of that?

1797
01:53:43,872 --> 01:53:46,166
You must be... kidding!

1798
01:53:47,208 --> 01:53:49,766
- These are all facts!
- Oh, come on, Rohini!

1799
01:53:49,846 --> 01:53:51,253
These are not facts!

1800
01:53:51,579 --> 01:53:52,851
This is targeting!

1801
01:53:53,091 --> 01:53:54,877
You're doing a hit job
on the government!

1802
01:53:55,602 --> 01:53:58,664
Rohini, it's okay to
criticize the government.

1803
01:53:58,799 --> 01:54:02,682
But what's your problem with
our country developing its own vaccine?

1804
01:54:03,086 --> 01:54:04,576
They made a vaccine...

1805
01:54:04,752 --> 01:54:06,606
but this is a substandard vaccine.

1806
01:54:06,686 --> 01:54:09,542
We don't have the world-class
infrastructure to produce it.

1807
01:54:10,027 --> 01:54:12,170
That's what the Johns Hopkins
report said too.

1808
01:54:12,254 --> 01:54:13,504
And I reported on that.

1809
01:54:13,584 --> 01:54:15,428
Oh, my God!

1810
01:54:16,321 --> 01:54:21,779
Later on, John Hopkins said
that their report was fake news.

1811
01:54:22,004 --> 01:54:23,909
Does it even matter?

1812
01:54:25,043 --> 01:54:28,757
Rohini, I may be against this government,

1813
01:54:29,534 --> 01:54:31,522
but I still support our country.

1814
01:54:36,122 --> 01:54:37,634
I think we should...

1815
01:54:38,696 --> 01:54:39,938
part ways.

1816
01:54:51,999 --> 01:54:53,289
You can't sack me.

1817
01:54:54,315 --> 01:54:57,165
If I go down, even you go down.

1818
01:54:58,233 --> 01:55:00,657
Who brought in all the funding?

1819
01:55:01,023 --> 01:55:02,319
I did.

1820
01:55:02,643 --> 01:55:05,031
This office is also because of me.

1821
01:55:06,063 --> 01:55:09,327
You have an international
network because of me.

1822
01:55:11,271 --> 01:55:12,950
And tell me something honestly,

1823
01:55:14,091 --> 01:55:15,742
which vaccine would you rather take?

1824
01:55:16,917 --> 01:55:20,043
A tried, tested,
reliable foreign vaccine

1825
01:55:20,445 --> 01:55:22,491
or a substandard Indian vaccine?

1826
01:55:24,111 --> 01:55:26,925
I mean, who knows,
it could be water.

1827
01:55:28,443 --> 01:55:30,231
Don't look at me like that.

1828
01:55:30,963 --> 01:55:32,361
You know them.

1829
01:55:34,845 --> 01:55:36,405
And chill, boss.

1830
01:55:36,933 --> 01:55:40,713
I've seen plenty of court cases
like this one.

1831
01:55:46,461 --> 01:55:49,551
Now go home and sleep well.

1832
01:55:55,727 --> 01:55:57,768
Despite the scientists' warnings,

1833
01:55:57,852 --> 01:55:59,197
the farmers continued to protest,

1834
01:55:59,277 --> 01:56:00,618
the elections took place in Bengal,

1835
01:56:00,698 --> 01:56:01,842
and they even went
ahead with the Kumbh fair.

1836
01:56:01,922 --> 01:56:06,325
Both the government and the people
totally ignored all COVID protocols.

1837
01:56:07,223 --> 01:56:11,491
XI
A nation on Fire

1838
01:56:15,401 --> 01:56:16,530
Mom!

1839
01:56:16,610 --> 01:56:18,037
Mom!

1840
01:56:18,849 --> 01:56:19,939
Mom!

1841
01:56:20,019 --> 01:56:21,152
How's my boy Elon Musk doing?

1842
01:56:21,232 --> 01:56:22,605
I'm doing good.
What about you?

1843
01:56:22,685 --> 01:56:24,291
- I'm good.
- Look who's here?

1844
01:56:24,587 --> 01:56:27,290
Nivi, you know
Adi wrote a poem for you?

1845
01:56:27,370 --> 01:56:28,370
- No way!
- Yep, Mom.

1846
01:56:28,450 --> 01:56:29,858
A really awesome poem.

1847
01:56:29,973 --> 01:56:31,010
That's amazing!

1848
01:56:31,813 --> 01:56:34,870
- Adi...
- Come over here.

1849
01:56:35,068 --> 01:56:36,709
Did you write a poem for me?

1850
01:56:37,271 --> 01:56:38,657
Won't you say it to me?

1851
01:56:39,862 --> 01:56:40,851
Go get your poem.

1852
01:56:40,931 --> 01:56:42,348
- Go, Adi.
- Ask your brother to get it.

1853
01:56:42,583 --> 01:56:45,088
- Go bring that poem you wrote for your mom.
- Adi, go get the poem.

1854
01:56:49,013 --> 01:56:50,083
How's he doing?

1855
01:56:51,058 --> 01:56:52,105
He's coping.

1856
01:56:52,326 --> 01:56:53,255
I'll take care of it.

1857
01:57:04,013 --> 01:57:06,134
- Yes, sir?
- Where are you?

1858
01:57:06,622 --> 01:57:08,144
Just got home, sir.

1859
01:57:09,037 --> 01:57:10,824
I'm sorry, but please come back.

1860
01:57:10,904 --> 01:57:11,855
Right now?

1861
01:57:13,132 --> 01:57:14,889
Yes.
Right now means right now.

1862
01:57:15,365 --> 01:57:16,983
- Okay, sir.
- Okay thank you.

1863
01:57:17,122 --> 01:57:18,389
Mom, my poem.

1864
01:57:23,792 --> 01:57:25,281
I'm so sorry.

1865
01:57:25,529 --> 01:57:27,019
I'll come back and listen to it,
alright?

1866
01:57:27,099 --> 01:57:29,329
I promise.
I promise.

1867
01:57:29,512 --> 01:57:30,966
Mom, please don't leave!

1868
01:57:31,086 --> 01:57:32,475
No, Mom, please!

1869
01:57:32,555 --> 01:57:34,345
- Please! Please!
- I'll be back soon.

1870
01:57:34,425 --> 01:57:36,234
It's been like forever since
we've talked!

1871
01:57:36,314 --> 01:57:38,028
Mom, please don't go.

1872
01:57:38,108 --> 01:57:39,294
- Please!
- Adi,

1873
01:57:39,428 --> 01:57:42,178
- your mom needs to get back to work.
- I haven't talked to you in 20 days!

1874
01:57:42,258 --> 01:57:43,743
- Please, Mom.
- Let her go.

1875
01:57:43,823 --> 01:57:46,115
- No! No! No, please!
- I'll handle him. I'll take care of him.

1876
01:57:46,195 --> 01:57:47,728
- Please, Mom!
- Hey! Adi!

1877
01:57:47,853 --> 01:57:49,627
- Hey! Adi!
- No! No! No, please!

1878
01:57:49,711 --> 01:57:52,836
- You go. Please go.
- No, Mom! No! No, please!

1879
01:57:52,919 --> 01:57:55,461
- Mom! Mom, please!
- Adi! Adi!

1880
01:57:55,798 --> 01:57:57,711
It's okay. She'll come back.

1881
01:57:57,794 --> 01:57:59,792
You shouldn't react like that, Adi.

1882
01:58:08,568 --> 01:58:10,548
It's okay, Adi.

1883
01:58:11,338 --> 01:58:12,924
Why don't we read the poem instead?

1884
01:58:13,146 --> 01:58:14,656
We'll read your brother's poem, alright?

1885
01:58:15,031 --> 01:58:16,451
Can I see it?

1886
01:58:21,990 --> 01:58:24,348
Locks all around,

1887
01:58:26,100 --> 01:58:28,044
the black sky surrounds.

1888
01:58:36,294 --> 01:58:39,180
The Maharashtra government
has imposed a lockdown.

1889
01:58:39,396 --> 01:58:45,258
This new variant is more contagious
than the previous ones

1890
01:58:45,338 --> 01:58:47,484
21 cases of this variant

1891
01:58:47,634 --> 01:58:51,636
considered To be highly infectious
have been found in Maharashtra

1892
01:58:51,716 --> 01:58:56,225
This new variant has been formed
due to a mutation in the delta variant.

1893
01:58:56,309 --> 01:58:58,126
Restrictions in place.

1894
01:58:58,206 --> 01:59:00,642
Families have no time for mourning.

1895
01:59:00,810 --> 01:59:05,256
I am not letting anyone go!

1896
01:59:15,364 --> 01:59:20,473
He has been pushing his kids
in a cart for four days straight

1897
01:59:20,553 --> 01:59:23,503
because he couldn't find them a bed.

1898
01:59:23,583 --> 01:59:25,097
Today, they passed away.

1899
01:59:25,177 --> 01:59:28,502
And now they are taking them
to the cremation ground in that same cart.

1900
01:59:28,652 --> 01:59:33,188
All I can see are funeral pyres,
as far as I can tell.

1901
01:59:33,362 --> 01:59:36,812
Will we ever really know
how many people died waiting

1902
01:59:36,892 --> 01:59:38,264
for oxygen in this pandemic?

1903
01:59:38,344 --> 01:59:42,146
Today, India has turned into
a living breathing funeral ground.

1904
01:59:42,226 --> 01:59:45,734
These are the images
that India will never ever...

1905
01:59:45,878 --> 01:59:48,836
Ever forget.

1906
02:00:12,170 --> 02:00:13,220
Sir.

1907
02:00:14,614 --> 02:00:15,462
Where is everybody?

1908
02:00:15,542 --> 02:00:18,111
Sir, 18 people staying
at our guesthouse caught COVID.

1909
02:00:18,491 --> 02:00:19,466
So?

1910
02:00:19,882 --> 02:00:22,090
There are no hospital beds available.

1911
02:00:22,295 --> 02:00:23,858
It's the same thing everywhere.

1912
02:00:23,973 --> 02:00:26,270
40 people got infected
at the Gorakhpur center.

1913
02:00:26,350 --> 02:00:27,488
And six of them are in a critical...

1914
02:00:27,568 --> 02:00:30,624
So, they got infected
and everyone else died?

1915
02:00:30,758 --> 02:00:32,212
They aren't going to come to office?!

1916
02:00:35,362 --> 02:00:37,009
They think it's all a joke.

1917
02:00:40,024 --> 02:00:41,387
Where's my peon, Bahadur?

1918
02:00:43,624 --> 02:00:45,208
Where is Bahadur?

1919
02:03:05,980 --> 02:03:07,396
Yes, Abhinandan.

1920
02:03:07,605 --> 02:03:12,354
See, our photos are selling
for 250$ and video footage for 400$.

1921
02:03:13,373 --> 02:03:15,486
Do you want the Ganga ones?
They are cheaper.

1922
02:03:16,272 --> 02:03:17,418
Okay, I'm sending you all the links.

1923
02:03:17,498 --> 02:03:20,556
Just select and let me know,
but the price is non-negotiable.

1924
02:03:21,070 --> 02:03:22,049
Okay.

1925
02:03:24,056 --> 02:03:25,391
Your kaadha.

1926
02:03:25,471 --> 02:03:26,470
Thank you.

1927
02:03:29,033 --> 02:03:30,757
Why are you doing this, ma'am?

1928
02:03:32,259 --> 02:03:33,387
Because it's happening.

1929
02:03:33,517 --> 02:03:35,878
And it's my job
to report what's going on.

1930
02:03:35,958 --> 02:03:37,126
Take a look.

1931
02:03:43,049 --> 02:03:45,035
But people are dying in Italy too.

1932
02:03:45,531 --> 02:03:46,640
I have seen it.

1933
02:03:47,351 --> 02:03:49,262
They buried thousands of them together.

1934
02:03:50,347 --> 02:03:54,878
Bodies from the first wave are
still rotting in trucks in America.

1935
02:03:56,429 --> 02:03:58,041
Why aren't you reporting that?

1936
02:03:59,951 --> 02:04:04,281
Instead, you're selling pictures
of our own people getting cremated

1937
02:04:04,482 --> 02:04:07,305
to foreigners for a few bucks.

1938
02:04:08,651 --> 02:04:10,403
What are you doing?

1939
02:04:10,483 --> 02:04:12,333
This is needed.

1940
02:04:12,501 --> 02:04:15,872
Otherwise,
the government will keep sleeping.

1941
02:04:17,974 --> 02:04:21,680
So, for you,
India only means the government.

1942
02:04:23,486 --> 02:04:24,633
People don't matter?

1943
02:04:25,205 --> 02:04:28,439
The feelings of the
family members don't matter?

1944
02:04:30,334 --> 02:04:33,156
We can't even give them beds
in the hospital.

1945
02:04:33,236 --> 02:04:34,980
We can't even give them oxygen.

1946
02:04:36,171 --> 02:04:39,614
Can't we at least give them
Some dignity in death?

1947
02:04:42,282 --> 02:04:44,231
You think I enjoy doing all this?

1948
02:04:45,041 --> 02:04:46,860
You think I don't feel the pain?

1949
02:04:47,647 --> 02:04:50,839
But it's my duty to bring
the truth to the people.

1950
02:04:52,530 --> 02:04:53,897
The truth.

1951
02:04:55,428 --> 02:04:59,369
So, the truth is only people
from one religion are dying

1952
02:05:00,833 --> 02:05:01,850
and nobody else is dying?

1953
02:05:10,732 --> 02:05:14,046
You keep trashing
the vaccine made in India.

1954
02:05:15,014 --> 02:05:17,478
And yet, you were one of the first ones
to stand in line and get the vaccine.

1955
02:05:17,558 --> 02:05:18,563
Why'd you do it?

1956
02:05:21,881 --> 02:05:24,727
Sorry, but I can't
keep doing this anymore.

1957
02:05:25,893 --> 02:05:27,097
I can't keep doing this anymore.

1958
02:05:30,084 --> 02:05:31,167
Auntie!

1959
02:05:34,997 --> 02:05:37,613
XII
The Final Battle

1960
02:05:42,510 --> 02:05:45,865
Today, all countries in Europe and the US
have lifted the ban on international flights.

1961
02:05:45,945 --> 02:05:46,852
By tomorrow, latest.

1962
02:05:46,932 --> 02:05:53,701
On the flip side, WHO and CDC
still haven't approved Covaxin for travel.

1963
02:05:53,833 --> 02:05:58,801
This once again proves that Covaxin
isn't up to international standards.

1964
02:05:58,881 --> 02:06:03,406
Now how are those ICMR scientists going

1965
02:06:03,486 --> 02:06:06,527
to face all those students

1966
02:06:06,607 --> 02:06:08,536
Whose only problem was that they took

1967
02:06:08,616 --> 02:06:10,298
- And when are you streaming that?
- A substandard vaccine...

1968
02:06:10,711 --> 02:06:13,155
Yeah, do let me know
before you do so, alright?

1969
02:06:13,918 --> 02:06:16,216
Yeah. I'm all ears for the news.

1970
02:06:16,296 --> 02:06:17,819
Speak to you some other time.

1971
02:06:18,011 --> 02:06:19,432
Thank you, bye.

1972
02:06:24,916 --> 02:06:26,096
Thanks.

1973
02:06:27,032 --> 02:06:28,116
Cheers.

1974
02:06:32,282 --> 02:06:33,353
What's the occasion?

1975
02:06:34,658 --> 02:06:37,731
I have fantastic news for you.

1976
02:06:40,929 --> 02:06:46,090
India's substandard vaccine
didn't get approved internationally.

1977
02:06:46,782 --> 02:06:50,975
Now you see the power of networking
on a global scale, huh?

1978
02:06:51,612 --> 02:06:54,482
We won the war, boss.

1979
02:06:54,885 --> 02:06:56,617
And the government lost.

1980
02:07:04,982 --> 02:07:06,200
The government didn't lose,

1981
02:07:08,006 --> 02:07:09,200
India lost.

1982
02:07:12,560 --> 02:07:13,982
What's the difference between the two?

1983
02:07:16,076 --> 02:07:19,448
The same difference we have forgotten.

1984
02:07:30,050 --> 02:07:31,868
Don't forget to burn the toolkit.

1985
02:07:34,412 --> 02:07:35,948
And sleep well.

1986
02:08:02,090 --> 02:08:03,704
What could be the reason?

1987
02:08:05,204 --> 02:08:11,624
Our vaccine's data shows
that it's safe and effective.

1988
02:08:12,170 --> 02:08:14,528
But WHO won't give us the approval.

1989
02:08:14,936 --> 02:08:15,974
Why not?

1990
02:08:17,438 --> 02:08:19,802
Sir, vaccines have turned
into a politics now.

1991
02:08:19,882 --> 02:08:21,886
- Politics?
- What else?

1992
02:08:22,154 --> 02:08:26,168
WHO approved China's vaccine months ago,

1993
02:08:26,890 --> 02:08:29,088
but they have kept us occupied with
tiny, petty things.

1994
02:08:29,168 --> 02:08:32,570
"Send this data, send that data."

1995
02:08:33,926 --> 02:08:35,408
We're scientists, sir.

1996
02:08:35,774 --> 02:08:40,508
And yet, we can see that there's deliberate
discrimination against our vaccine.

1997
02:08:41,078 --> 02:08:43,284
Excuses, excuses, excuses.

1998
02:08:43,364 --> 02:08:45,656
No sir, these aren't just excuses.

1999
02:08:46,274 --> 02:08:49,244
This is an orchestrated
campaign against India,

2000
02:08:49,490 --> 02:08:53,876
all because we didn't
approve their foreign vaccines.

2001
02:08:54,476 --> 02:08:56,018
Sir, check this out.

2002
02:08:58,091 --> 02:09:01,716
Look at these articles.
They are all written one after another.

2003
02:09:02,192 --> 02:09:04,208
What's interesting is that
they're all the same,

2004
02:09:04,400 --> 02:09:06,984
almost as if someone wrote
one article and it got circulated

2005
02:09:07,064 --> 02:09:09,632
with people changing the headlines
and reprinting them.

2006
02:09:10,760 --> 02:09:11,972
And watch this video too, sir.

2007
02:09:13,184 --> 02:09:17,528
I have 100s of tweets
and articles from various authors,

2008
02:09:17,608 --> 02:09:21,210
celebrities, influencers,
and journalists asking

2009
02:09:21,290 --> 02:09:25,208
why isn't India saving its people
by allowing foreign vaccines?

2010
02:09:25,370 --> 02:09:27,680
Who is playing with our lives?

2011
02:09:27,760 --> 02:09:29,588
Who is answerable?

2012
02:09:29,798 --> 02:09:33,998
India wants to know
and India must know.

2013
02:09:35,654 --> 02:09:39,218
These tweets from authors,
columnists, influencers, and celebrities

2014
02:09:39,298 --> 02:09:42,545
all show up on the same day,
around the same time,

2015
02:09:42,628 --> 02:09:44,420
and say almost the exact same thing.

2016
02:09:44,587 --> 02:09:45,974
Isn't that strange?

2017
02:09:46,106 --> 02:09:48,128
Like someone was giving them a dictation.

2018
02:09:48,656 --> 02:09:52,458
Sir, we have a smart vaccine
But they have a smart strategy.

2019
02:09:52,538 --> 02:09:56,210
You mean they're so powerful that
they're defeating our scientific evidence.

2020
02:09:56,390 --> 02:09:59,624
Sir, they're not powerful,
their masters are.

2021
02:09:59,704 --> 02:10:02,468
The Pharma lobbies
who fund the media.

2022
02:10:03,788 --> 02:10:05,306
Let me explain how.

2023
02:10:06,386 --> 02:10:11,024
First, they finance websites
like The Daily Wire.

2024
02:10:11,162 --> 02:10:15,931
Then Science Editors like
Rohini Singh Dhulia write fake articles.

2025
02:10:16,014 --> 02:10:20,976
Then some influencers pop up,
repost them, and sow doubt.

2026
02:10:21,056 --> 02:10:25,154
Then their so-called "fact checkers"
show up and confirm the news.

2027
02:10:25,706 --> 02:10:30,402
Then this whole ecosystem
spreads the news overnight.

2028
02:10:30,482 --> 02:10:34,226
And just like that,
they turn a lie into the truth.

2029
02:10:35,078 --> 02:10:36,902
This is all a network.

2030
02:10:37,952 --> 02:10:40,106
Who they are, where they come from,

2031
02:10:40,186 --> 02:10:43,904
where they go,
who they work for, no one knows.

2032
02:10:44,414 --> 02:10:46,382
They probably don't even know themselves.

2033
02:10:46,772 --> 02:10:50,209
This is clearly not a science war, sir.

2034
02:10:50,726 --> 02:10:52,400
This is an info war.

2035
02:10:53,102 --> 02:10:55,751
And the only way to
win is with information.

2036
02:10:56,846 --> 02:11:01,076
But we have a problem
we can't talk to anyone,

2037
02:11:01,382 --> 02:11:04,544
and they take advantage
of that weakness.

2038
02:11:05,960 --> 02:11:07,908
I think we should hold
a press conference

2039
02:11:07,988 --> 02:11:11,576
and present our points
to the media and the public.

2040
02:11:11,656 --> 02:11:13,472
No press conference.

2041
02:11:14,198 --> 02:11:16,226
That goes against my principles.

2042
02:11:16,550 --> 02:11:21,164
It's not about your principles anymore,
Dr. Balram Bhargava.

2043
02:11:23,168 --> 02:11:27,326
There are thousands of
scientists at ICMR and NIV.

2044
02:11:28,250 --> 02:11:32,243
This is about their
self-esteem and reputation.

2045
02:11:32,636 --> 02:11:37,576
It's our responsibility to bring
this truth to the media on their behalf.

2046
02:11:39,284 --> 02:11:40,868
What do the others think about this?

2047
02:11:41,159 --> 02:11:44,150
Sir, I agree with Dr. Abraham.

2048
02:11:44,288 --> 02:11:45,182
I also agree, sir.

2049
02:11:45,320 --> 02:11:46,472
I too agree, sir.

2050
02:11:48,002 --> 02:11:49,292
I think we should do it, sir.

2051
02:11:52,964 --> 02:11:55,214
Then you guys go ahead
and hold the press conference.

2052
02:11:56,618 --> 02:11:59,240
I won't talk to the media.

2053
02:12:14,678 --> 02:12:18,475
Why don't we approve foreign vaccines?

2054
02:12:38,896 --> 02:12:41,521
During the second wave,
when things were really bad,

2055
02:12:42,911 --> 02:12:44,187
I kept thinking about one thing,

2056
02:12:44,267 --> 02:12:47,099
when all other civilizations have fallen,

2057
02:12:48,473 --> 02:12:53,900
what made India survive,
despite all odds?

2058
02:12:55,333 --> 02:12:58,276
It was probably because
we see the universe as one.

2059
02:12:58,665 --> 02:13:02,532
We don't try to divide
or break things.

2060
02:13:03,370 --> 02:13:04,938
We always have faith in ourselves.

2061
02:13:05,937 --> 02:13:08,314
And that belief is timeless.

2062
02:13:09,199 --> 02:13:13,189
Today, once again, as many
powers are trying to tear India apart,

2063
02:13:13,269 --> 02:13:14,479
we need to decide

2064
02:13:15,907 --> 02:13:17,977
whether we let ourselves be blackmailed

2065
02:13:18,787 --> 02:13:23,053
or believe in ourselves
and become self-reliant.

2066
02:13:41,191 --> 02:13:45,619
And now you understand
why we didn't approve foreign vaccines.

2067
02:13:48,307 --> 02:13:50,395
So, think about it and
tell me what we should do.

2068
02:13:54,589 --> 02:13:55,921
What's there to think about?

2069
02:13:58,657 --> 02:14:00,217
If we got to do it, we got to do it.

2070
02:14:18,658 --> 02:14:20,290
Good morning, everyone.

2071
02:14:21,696 --> 02:14:27,068
A lot of fake news has been spread
regarding India's indigenous vaccine.

2072
02:14:27,195 --> 02:14:30,750
We are going through a
series of compliances to obtain

2073
02:14:30,893 --> 02:14:33,707
approval from WHO as we speak.

2074
02:14:33,787 --> 02:14:38,101
We have a bunch
of expert scientists here.

2075
02:14:38,226 --> 02:14:44,837
You can ask your questions and
they'll answer based on their expertise.

2076
02:14:44,981 --> 02:14:46,309
Thank you.

2077
02:14:47,897 --> 02:14:49,785
I'm Rooprashmi from the Daily News.

2078
02:14:49,865 --> 02:14:51,323
My question is,

2079
02:14:52,097 --> 02:14:54,263
more people died in the second
wave compared to the first wave,

2080
02:14:54,983 --> 02:14:58,217
despite the vaccines already
being rolled out during the second wave.

2081
02:14:58,349 --> 02:14:59,507
So, who is to blame?

2082
02:14:59,687 --> 02:15:01,673
Were you sleeping or
was the government sleeping?

2083
02:15:03,173 --> 02:15:05,411
Or both?

2084
02:15:05,621 --> 02:15:07,241
Nobody was sleeping.

2085
02:15:07,679 --> 02:15:08,753
They were sleeping.

2086
02:15:08,833 --> 02:15:09,767
Nobody was sleeping.

2087
02:15:09,847 --> 02:15:13,163
You know very well that we've
never faced anything like this before.

2088
02:15:13,313 --> 02:15:17,975
Nobody could have predicted a deadly wave
that would defy all scientific projections.

2089
02:15:18,055 --> 02:15:21,089
But there should have been oxygen.
Why wasn't that thought of?

2090
02:15:21,228 --> 02:15:23,816
Do you know many politicians

2091
02:15:24,147 --> 02:15:26,828
Were hoarding oxygen in the
Name of social service

2092
02:15:26,908 --> 02:15:29,367
And later they were selling it in black.

2093
02:15:29,447 --> 02:15:30,951
How pathetic is that?

2094
02:15:31,031 --> 02:15:34,108
Are you trying to blame
others for your failures?

2095
02:15:36,835 --> 02:15:40,857
If you read the supreme court's
Audit report, it says

2096
02:15:41,068 --> 02:15:43,612
That the Delhi government

2097
02:15:43,692 --> 02:15:45,148
Demanded 4 times more oxygen

2098
02:15:45,228 --> 02:15:46,517
Than it actually needed.

2099
02:15:47,151 --> 02:15:50,467
You cannot blame others for your mistake.

2100
02:15:51,581 --> 02:15:53,896
Excuse me! Excuse me!

2101
02:15:53,980 --> 02:15:56,172
Please, let's all stay calm.

2102
02:15:56,252 --> 02:15:58,536
This press conference
is about the vaccine,

2103
02:15:58,656 --> 02:16:01,205
so let's stick to questions
about the vaccine, okay?

2104
02:16:01,983 --> 02:16:04,651
The Government will address
all other questions.

2105
02:16:04,785 --> 02:16:07,391
Is it true that your vaccine
is substandard?

2106
02:16:09,211 --> 02:16:11,467
Hold on, who's asking the question?

2107
02:16:11,547 --> 02:16:13,219
- I can't...
- Ma'am...

2108
02:16:14,381 --> 02:16:16,130
Rohini Singh Dhulia,

2109
02:16:16,210 --> 02:16:18,111
Science Editor from the Daily Wire.

2110
02:16:19,210 --> 02:16:20,594
I'd just like to know,

2111
02:16:20,677 --> 02:16:26,011
is it true that Covaxin was tested
on humans without Phase III trials?

2112
02:16:26,311 --> 02:16:31,115
No one knows if your vaccine
is safe and effective or not.

2113
02:16:31,195 --> 02:16:34,327
Hold on, what do you
mean by 'your' vaccine?

2114
02:16:35,791 --> 02:16:37,321
It's India's vaccine.

2115
02:16:38,047 --> 02:16:40,507
It's mine, yours, our vaccine.

2116
02:16:40,587 --> 02:16:44,671
Okay, is India's vaccine safe
or not safe?

2117
02:16:45,463 --> 02:16:47,380
It doesn't matter what I say anyway.

2118
02:16:47,460 --> 02:16:50,100
She already has the headline ready.

2119
02:16:50,311 --> 02:16:52,865
Don't try these political
gimmicks with me, Dr. Abraham.

2120
02:16:53,005 --> 02:16:55,490
You're a scientist
and I'm a science editor.

2121
02:16:55,643 --> 02:16:58,731
So it's better
if you give me a scientific answer.

2122
02:17:00,799 --> 02:17:02,081
Okay.

2123
02:17:05,959 --> 02:17:07,481
Let's talk science.

2124
02:17:07,841 --> 02:17:11,854
Covaxin is made using the
tried and tested Whole-Virion

2125
02:17:11,934 --> 02:17:13,803
Inactivated Vero Cell method.

2126
02:17:14,704 --> 02:17:19,836
The efficacy of Covaxin
against severe disease is 93.4%

2127
02:17:20,018 --> 02:17:26,145
and an overall efficacy of
77.8% against symptomatic infections.

2128
02:17:26,393 --> 02:17:31,424
Against asymptomatic COVID-19,
the efficacy is 63.6%.

2129
02:17:32,197 --> 02:17:38,571
The vaccine also conferred 65.2%
protection against the Delta variant.

2130
02:17:39,793 --> 02:17:43,490
Now let's check out all the
other vaccines WHO has approved.

2131
02:17:44,270 --> 02:17:45,831
Pfizer, Moderna,

2132
02:17:46,640 --> 02:17:49,409
and that Chinese vaccine CanSinoBIO...

2133
02:17:50,152 --> 02:17:55,291
All these vaccines have been
made using new, untested technology,

2134
02:17:55,371 --> 02:17:58,266
yet WHO approved them,

2135
02:17:58,349 --> 02:18:01,057
but they are finding it
difficult to approve Covaxin

2136
02:18:01,141 --> 02:18:03,993
which is based on a
proven 70 years technology.

2137
02:18:04,073 --> 02:18:07,645
But to even think that Covaxin
is not safe or not effective

2138
02:18:07,725 --> 02:18:11,152
is not just illogical but it's hilarious.

2139
02:18:16,321 --> 02:18:18,607
Lots of companies making
vaccines from other countries

2140
02:18:18,687 --> 02:18:21,893
approached the Indian
government for approval,

2141
02:18:21,973 --> 02:18:23,566
people were dying,

2142
02:18:23,646 --> 02:18:25,883
but you didn't give the approval to them,

2143
02:18:25,963 --> 02:18:32,949
just to prove that India has become
a self-reliant country by making Covaxin.

2144
02:18:33,150 --> 02:18:36,511
Just so that they can brag
about it during the next election.

2145
02:18:36,591 --> 02:18:38,036
Ma'am, do you even know

2146
02:18:38,116 --> 02:18:40,586
why those foreign vaccines
weren't approved?

2147
02:18:41,042 --> 02:18:43,796
No, please tell us.

2148
02:18:43,876 --> 02:18:45,572
We would all like to know that.

2149
02:18:49,772 --> 02:18:51,308
Please tell us.

2150
02:18:51,428 --> 02:18:52,925
But somebody has to answer.

2151
02:18:53,005 --> 02:18:54,117
Excuse me.

2152
02:18:54,201 --> 02:18:56,213
- Actually, actually, we are...
- Please...

2153
02:18:56,293 --> 02:18:57,951
- We are...
- Okay, okay.

2154
02:18:58,034 --> 02:18:59,121
Calm down.

2155
02:19:00,117 --> 02:19:03,159
Give them a chance to reply.

2156
02:19:03,937 --> 02:19:06,198
Dr. Abraham, we are waiting.

2157
02:19:08,103 --> 02:19:09,898
This is... this is classified information.

2158
02:19:10,028 --> 02:19:12,088
We are not authorized to talk about it.

2159
02:19:12,168 --> 02:19:13,743
Excuse me, one minute...

2160
02:19:13,823 --> 02:19:15,496
Please, tell us.

2161
02:19:15,576 --> 02:19:17,310
Please, please calm down.

2162
02:19:17,390 --> 02:19:20,382
You'll get all your answers.
Please, please calm down.

2163
02:19:24,966 --> 02:19:26,628
I'll answer that question.

2164
02:19:30,180 --> 02:19:32,154
I'll answer that question.

2165
02:19:34,551 --> 02:19:36,385
I'm sorry, I'm a bit late.

2166
02:19:37,200 --> 02:19:38,748
Please, please, please.

2167
02:19:46,710 --> 02:19:48,360
Hello, Ms. Rohini.

2168
02:19:49,308 --> 02:19:51,462
We finally meet.

2169
02:19:51,906 --> 02:19:55,746
All those foreign vaccines
you keep talking about,

2170
02:19:55,826 --> 02:19:59,880
it's not like the Indian government
said no to approving them.

2171
02:20:00,312 --> 02:20:03,426
They had long talks, negotiations,

2172
02:20:04,686 --> 02:20:07,026
but the deal didn't
work out in India's favor.

2173
02:20:08,244 --> 02:20:10,086
They were trying to blackmail us.

2174
02:20:10,656 --> 02:20:12,828
So we only had two choices.

2175
02:20:13,170 --> 02:20:17,370
Either, like always,
we give up and accept their deal,

2176
02:20:18,300 --> 02:20:20,760
or we treat this crisis as a challenge

2177
02:20:20,994 --> 02:20:23,150
and try to be self-reliant.

2178
02:20:24,246 --> 02:20:26,984
We went with the second
option and it worked.

2179
02:20:28,404 --> 02:20:33,588
This whole "self-reliant"
thing is just an excuse

2180
02:20:34,098 --> 02:20:36,522
to avoid all the technical facts.

2181
02:20:36,852 --> 02:20:41,736
If your government thinks those
foreign vaccines are blackmailing them,

2182
02:20:41,928 --> 02:20:46,764
then why are you scared to tell the truth
and share the technical facts with the world?

2183
02:20:47,562 --> 02:20:50,874
You want to know the technical facts?

2184
02:20:50,954 --> 02:20:52,536
Yes, of course.

2185
02:20:54,456 --> 02:20:55,770
Dr. Panda?

2186
02:20:55,850 --> 02:20:57,096
Yes, sir?

2187
02:20:57,176 --> 02:20:59,538
Give her the technical facts.

2188
02:20:59,618 --> 02:21:00,531
Go ahead, please.

2189
02:21:00,611 --> 02:21:04,332
mRNA vaccines need to
be stored at -70 degrees.

2190
02:21:04,412 --> 02:21:06,655
Then they have
to be diluted with saline.

2191
02:21:06,876 --> 02:21:09,632
And those foreign vaccines weren't
ready to provide us with that saline.

2192
02:21:09,712 --> 02:21:12,779
Those vaccines also
require a special syringe.

2193
02:21:12,862 --> 02:21:15,633
And those syringes are always
in short supply.

2194
02:21:15,713 --> 02:21:19,299
That's why millions of doses went
to waste in the US and Japan.

2195
02:21:19,577 --> 02:21:23,416
Now just tell me, what would have happened
if that vaccine came to India?

2196
02:21:23,613 --> 02:21:25,370
Our country has a protocol that says

2197
02:21:25,797 --> 02:21:29,254
if you want your vaccine
to be given to our people,

2198
02:21:29,460 --> 02:21:32,364
you have to test it on our people first.

2199
02:21:32,499 --> 02:21:34,548
They didn't agree to that.

2200
02:21:35,427 --> 02:21:38,325
But you didn't question that.

2201
02:21:38,728 --> 02:21:41,022
And you didn't spread
this news to the people.

2202
02:21:41,102 --> 02:21:45,186
We consider Covishield as our own
because they followed the protocol.

2203
02:21:46,628 --> 02:21:48,956
You are sitting here and
pushing for foreign vaccines.

2204
02:21:49,036 --> 02:21:53,208
Do you even know how many
conditions they put on us?

2205
02:21:54,288 --> 02:21:56,304
Are you guys going to say anything
or am I supposed to do all the talking?

2206
02:21:57,114 --> 02:21:58,272
Dr. Nivedita?

2207
02:21:59,358 --> 02:22:02,190
The first thing these
foreign vaccines demanded was

2208
02:22:02,270 --> 02:22:07,194
the ability to change their timeline
and dosage whenever they felt like it.

2209
02:22:07,274 --> 02:22:08,658
And not only that,

2210
02:22:08,738 --> 02:22:12,864
they wanted the Indian Government
to give them billions of rupees upfront.

2211
02:22:13,230 --> 02:22:15,708
And if they don't deliver the vaccines,

2212
02:22:15,990 --> 02:22:18,108
we won't get our money back either.

2213
02:22:18,336 --> 02:22:20,504
If there's any dispute,

2214
02:22:20,584 --> 02:22:22,709
we'd have to go to New York to fight it.

2215
02:22:22,986 --> 02:22:26,208
Their vaccine,
their courts,

2216
02:22:27,006 --> 02:22:28,614
their trials...

2217
02:22:29,154 --> 02:22:30,810
Do we even stand a
chance of winning there?

2218
02:22:32,994 --> 02:22:34,770
They had another condition too.

2219
02:22:34,908 --> 02:22:38,292
If anyone dies in India
after taking their vaccine,

2220
02:22:38,372 --> 02:22:40,668
they won't take any responsibility for it.

2221
02:22:41,292 --> 02:22:44,970
We're not saying those
vaccines are bad or anything.

2222
02:22:45,690 --> 02:22:49,884
Why don't you like the vaccine
that we developed ourselves?

2223
02:22:51,744 --> 02:22:55,317
I'm sure you've heard
of TB Macaulay, right?

2224
02:22:56,352 --> 02:22:58,938
He was the one who formulated
India's education policy.

2225
02:23:00,567 --> 02:23:04,317
He believed that if Britain
wanted to rule India,

2226
02:23:04,938 --> 02:23:08,316
they should make Indians
feel inferior through education.

2227
02:23:09,630 --> 02:23:12,342
Indians are inferior while foreigners,

2228
02:23:12,900 --> 02:23:16,086
especially Westerners, are superior

2229
02:23:16,890 --> 02:23:20,448
If ICMR didn't have "Indian" in its name

2230
02:23:20,922 --> 02:23:25,426
and if Bharat Biotech had a Western
country's name instead of "Bharat,"

2231
02:23:25,506 --> 02:23:28,056
you wouldn't have doubted our vaccine.

2232
02:23:28,734 --> 02:23:31,338
That's exactly what Macaulay wanted.

2233
02:23:32,574 --> 02:23:33,600
You know what?

2234
02:23:33,730 --> 02:23:36,806
We didn't patent our vaccine candidates.

2235
02:23:36,889 --> 02:23:38,681
Any idea why?
Tell them.

2236
02:23:40,347 --> 02:23:42,847
It's because patents mean profits.

2237
02:23:44,727 --> 02:23:48,431
Almost every country
in the world patents its vaccines,

2238
02:23:49,397 --> 02:23:50,543
but we chose not to.

2239
02:23:50,899 --> 02:23:52,411
Because we firmly believe

2240
02:23:52,771 --> 02:23:56,491
that innovations and knowledge
meant for public service

2241
02:23:57,057 --> 02:23:58,550
belong to the people.

2242
02:23:59,179 --> 02:24:01,649
Who are we?
What's our identity?

2243
02:24:01,729 --> 02:24:05,794
Nobody cares about our religion
or caste when we travel abroad.

2244
02:24:06,904 --> 02:24:08,326
They just want to know where we are from.

2245
02:24:09,868 --> 02:24:12,238
Indians, from India, "Bharatiya".

2246
02:24:13,306 --> 02:24:16,006
I think that should be our last name.

2247
02:24:16,528 --> 02:24:20,740
You can have Abraham, Rehman, Ram,
or Rohini in front of that.

2248
02:24:21,136 --> 02:24:26,603
Rohini Bharatiya.
Sounds pretty good, don't you think?

2249
02:24:27,520 --> 02:24:29,888
Nowadays, scientific research

2250
02:24:29,968 --> 02:24:32,603
and development is the biggest market
in the world.

2251
02:24:33,502 --> 02:24:37,462
And everyone knows that
if India decides to join in,

2252
02:24:37,542 --> 02:24:39,460
there's no stopping us.

2253
02:24:40,732 --> 02:24:44,152
Because we have plenty
of bright minds in science.

2254
02:24:46,246 --> 02:24:48,898
We admit we may have
been weak in the past,

2255
02:24:49,372 --> 02:24:51,448
but we aren't what we used to be.

2256
02:24:52,912 --> 02:24:55,834
The underdog is now racing alongside them.

2257
02:24:56,044 --> 02:24:59,050
And who knows,
Might even surpass them.

2258
02:25:00,322 --> 02:25:02,386
I don't know much about world politics.

2259
02:25:02,466 --> 02:25:04,180
All I know is that

2260
02:25:05,038 --> 02:25:07,426
this is a war against India.

2261
02:25:07,506 --> 02:25:12,885
But Covaxin is our greatest
victory in this war.

2262
02:25:17,085 --> 02:25:19,780
The enemies of humanity
want to hold us back,

2263
02:25:19,860 --> 02:25:22,912
and you're helping them do just that.

2264
02:25:24,456 --> 02:25:27,374
Dr. Bhargava,
you're trying to divert the blame on us

2265
02:25:27,454 --> 02:25:31,221
and cover up your own failures.
Isn't it?

2266
02:25:31,723 --> 02:25:33,252
Our failures?

2267
02:25:33,403 --> 02:25:35,429
Can you shed some light on our failures?

2268
02:25:35,509 --> 02:25:38,249
Our biggest failure is that India

2269
02:25:38,429 --> 02:25:42,233
made the fastest Indigenous vaccine
in the world in just 7 months.

2270
02:25:42,313 --> 02:25:44,747
India has given out about
a billion vaccines already.

2271
02:25:44,827 --> 02:25:48,527
And we're going to reach our goal of
2.5 billion in the next couple of months.

2272
02:25:48,607 --> 02:25:52,169
And this is the world's
fastest vaccination drive.

2273
02:25:52,249 --> 02:25:53,555
It's like three times more than the USA,

2274
02:25:53,635 --> 02:25:54,866
seven times more than Japan,

2275
02:25:54,946 --> 02:25:56,401
11 times more than Germany,

2276
02:25:56,484 --> 02:25:58,068
and 14 times more than France.

2277
02:25:58,151 --> 02:26:01,821
India even gave out 250
million vaccines in a single day.

2278
02:26:01,989 --> 02:26:04,401
And this is again a world record.

2279
02:26:07,834 --> 02:26:09,502
Thank you, thank you.

2280
02:26:09,688 --> 02:26:13,648
Back in March 2020, we only
had one COVID testing lab in India.

2281
02:26:13,864 --> 02:26:17,218
But by the end of the year,
we had 3390 labs.

2282
02:26:17,298 --> 02:26:21,322
In March 2020,
we only had 500 oxygen plants in India.

2283
02:26:21,670 --> 02:26:25,072
But in just 112 days,
we boosted it up to 2500 plants.

2284
02:26:29,872 --> 02:26:33,034
When the lockdown hit,
we didn't have any PPE kits

2285
02:26:33,114 --> 02:26:35,272
because no one used to make them here.

2286
02:26:35,352 --> 02:26:39,569
But nowadays, India is the second
largest exporter of PPE in the world.

2287
02:26:39,652 --> 02:26:40,861
And same goes with masks.

2288
02:26:40,944 --> 02:26:43,198
Under our Vaccine Maitri program,

2289
02:26:43,348 --> 02:26:47,110
India provided 240 million made-in-India
vaccines to 100 countries,

2290
02:26:47,190 --> 02:26:50,542
and that is the reason
a lot of the countries had to say

2291
02:26:50,622 --> 02:26:52,990
India's help was godsend to them.

2292
02:26:53,362 --> 02:26:57,436
India was the fifth country in this world
to isolate the coronavirus.

2293
02:27:01,660 --> 02:27:05,428
Your track record just shows that your
journalism isn't about telling the truth.

2294
02:27:05,584 --> 02:27:08,428
It's all about spreading fake news.

2295
02:27:12,592 --> 02:27:14,320
This is a good strategy -

2296
02:27:14,494 --> 02:27:16,462
when you don't have
answers to the question,

2297
02:27:16,618 --> 02:27:18,772
just point the finger at the journalist.

2298
02:27:19,024 --> 02:27:20,308
Journalist?

2299
02:27:27,484 --> 02:27:29,470
Ms. Rohini, who is a journalist?

2300
02:27:31,798 --> 02:27:37,393
A journalist asks tough
questions to uncover the truth,

2301
02:27:38,764 --> 02:27:42,022
and does not undermine
what others believe.

2302
02:27:42,670 --> 02:27:44,643
Today, when India is about to triumph,

2303
02:27:44,727 --> 02:27:48,172
you're talking like those
who want India to fail.

2304
02:27:50,218 --> 02:27:52,750
Does journalism just mean blaming someone,

2305
02:27:53,032 --> 02:27:56,192
defaming someone without evidence,
or without following the law?

2306
02:27:56,272 --> 02:27:58,996
Hit and run! Hit and run! Hit and run!

2307
02:28:00,334 --> 02:28:02,314
That's what terrorists do.

2308
02:28:04,168 --> 02:28:08,980
You wrote an article
based on Johns Hopkins' report.

2309
02:28:09,808 --> 02:28:12,646
"400 million Indians will get infected!"

2310
02:28:12,796 --> 02:28:17,530
You didn't inform the people
when that report was discarded.

2311
02:28:17,770 --> 02:28:21,382
Because your job was done,
spreading fear like an enemy would.

2312
02:28:21,465 --> 02:28:22,882
And you succeeded.

2313
02:28:23,536 --> 02:28:25,465
Your truth isn't really true.

2314
02:28:25,549 --> 02:28:27,148
It's only half-truth.

2315
02:28:27,280 --> 02:28:29,446
That's why it's even worse than a lie.

2316
02:28:29,794 --> 02:28:32,668
Your so-called facts
are actually selective facts.

2317
02:28:33,868 --> 02:28:36,626
Ms. Rohini, it seems like you haven't
taken a good look at yourself in a while.

2318
02:28:36,706 --> 02:28:39,496
You should go home and look in the mirror,
and then you'll know

2319
02:28:39,814 --> 02:28:41,980
what a journalist shouldn't be.

2320
02:28:43,240 --> 02:28:45,016
Excuse me, Dr. Bhargava,

2321
02:28:45,154 --> 02:28:47,368
I think you're getting personal right now.

2322
02:28:48,040 --> 02:28:50,386
You can't make accusations
like that against me.

2323
02:28:51,382 --> 02:28:53,488
I don't need to make any accusations.

2324
02:28:53,662 --> 02:28:54,898
That's what the court said.

2325
02:28:56,194 --> 02:28:58,600
Today, you are the accused.

2326
02:28:59,098 --> 02:29:02,234
The court has issued
an order against you.

2327
02:29:04,090 --> 02:29:07,844
The court has ordered you
to remove 14 articles you wrote

2328
02:29:07,924 --> 02:29:12,808
about Covaxin from your websites
because they were deemed fake news.

2329
02:29:18,472 --> 02:29:19,912
That's impossible!

2330
02:29:19,992 --> 02:29:23,272
And you're also prohibited from publishing

2331
02:29:23,352 --> 02:29:26,866
any defamatory articles
about Covaxin from now on.

2332
02:29:27,382 --> 02:29:28,907
Fantastic!

2333
02:29:29,170 --> 02:29:31,484
You're lying!
Don't believe him!

2334
02:29:31,564 --> 02:29:34,978
This is a conspiracy!
I know you and I know your government.

2335
02:29:35,254 --> 02:29:37,060
We can't respond to that.

2336
02:29:37,720 --> 02:29:40,606
You should take it up with the court.
We're just scientists.

2337
02:29:44,284 --> 02:29:47,416
So, all the best,
Ms. Rohini Singh Dhulia.

2338
02:29:56,320 --> 02:29:59,422
Over the past two years,
there's something else I've learnt.

2339
02:30:01,690 --> 02:30:06,760
India is great,
and its people are amazing.

2340
02:30:06,892 --> 02:30:09,034
Especially our women.

2341
02:30:11,230 --> 02:30:12,938
Maybe the rest of
the world won't ever know,

2342
02:30:13,018 --> 02:30:14,914
but you should know,

2343
02:30:16,828 --> 02:30:19,300
the vaccine you got was made

2344
02:30:19,380 --> 02:30:24,058
70% by of the ladies at ICMR and NIV.

2345
02:30:27,724 --> 02:30:29,302
They were doing all sorts of things
like cleaning up after dirty dishes,

2346
02:30:29,382 --> 02:30:31,912
putting up with their husband's demands,

2347
02:30:34,376 --> 02:30:38,824
taking care of the kids
and the elderly at home,

2348
02:30:39,676 --> 02:30:43,048
wiping away tears,
mixing up kaadha,

2349
02:30:46,282 --> 02:30:49,090
and even dealing with
stubborn bosses like me.

2350
02:30:52,324 --> 02:30:54,604
But they stayed strong
and kept working on the vaccine.

2351
02:30:58,720 --> 02:31:02,144
If India is a vaccine superpower today,

2352
02:31:02,224 --> 02:31:04,204
it's all thanks to these women.

2353
02:31:10,438 --> 02:31:13,852
We're standing here today,

2354
02:31:14,626 --> 02:31:19,117
mask-less and fearless,
all because of them.

2355
02:31:21,508 --> 02:31:23,566
They are the epitome
of being self-reliant.

2356
02:31:28,150 --> 02:31:32,652
I want to dedicate this incredible achievement
in India to all the women in India.

2357
02:31:33,976 --> 02:31:37,972
Because it's all the result
of their hard work and sacrifices.

2358
02:31:38,380 --> 02:31:40,300
After this, nobody will ever say -

2359
02:31:41,554 --> 02:31:43,402
India can't do it.

2360
02:31:45,388 --> 02:31:46,996
India Can Do It.

2361
02:31:53,608 --> 02:31:55,204
India can do it.

2362
02:31:56,860 --> 02:31:59,470
Yes, India can Do It.

2363
02:32:01,468 --> 02:32:02,800
Yes.

2364
02:32:04,132 --> 02:32:05,968
India can do it.

2365
02:32:08,626 --> 02:32:10,564
India can do it.

2366
02:33:04,711 --> 02:33:09,551
Some time later...

2367
02:33:10,735 --> 02:33:13,747
I sent your son to see a counselor.

2368
02:33:14,063 --> 02:33:18,295
She said his nightmares and symptoms

2369
02:33:18,431 --> 02:33:24,197
are like what soldier families
go through during the war.

2370
02:33:24,786 --> 02:33:28,947
I told her well he
is the son of a soldier.

2371
02:33:31,573 --> 02:33:32,989
How's my Thor doing?

2372
02:33:35,167 --> 02:33:36,457
Ma'am...

2373
02:33:38,641 --> 02:33:40,303
Thank you for the vaccine!

2374
02:33:40,597 --> 02:33:43,711
Thank you for the vaccine!

2375
02:33:54,005 --> 02:33:58,641
Our maid is back and you're
still doing all the chores all day.

2376
02:33:59,228 --> 02:34:00,803
You like doing them or something?

2377
02:34:01,298 --> 02:34:03,330
Yeah, kind of.

2378
02:34:03,591 --> 02:34:05,047
What are you going to do about it?

2379
02:34:05,415 --> 02:34:07,956
I'll do whatever you want,
I just won't operate on monkeys again.

2380
02:34:08,842 --> 02:34:10,054
Nice lipstick.

2381
02:34:13,816 --> 02:34:19,505
INDIAN COUNCIL OF MEDICAL RESEARCH

2382
02:34:19,673 --> 02:34:20,977
Dr. Priya.

2383
02:34:26,236 --> 02:34:28,455
This is an advance copy of my book.

2384
02:34:28,815 --> 02:34:30,819
I got it, especially for you.

2385
02:34:31,867 --> 02:34:32,977
Oh thank you, sir.

2386
02:34:33,115 --> 02:34:34,075
Take care.
