The Vaccine War

2023 · TheQuint · Sep 2023

For a film, and a filmmaker, that claims to bring into focus the uncelebrated heroes of India's war against the COVID-19 pandemic and the misinformation that surrounded the making of the country's first indigenous vaccine, The Vaccine War is more opinion than fact. Actually, scratch that. It's just propaganda. The Vaccine War is not that story. If anything, it's science wrapped in nationalistic jingoism.
