Priyanka Chopra Pleads US President Joe Biden To Support India To Fight With Covid-19

Global diva Priyanka Chopra who carved her niche with her ace acting skills rose to Hollywood proving her mettle worldwide. Although she is staying in the US with her husband Nick Jonas, she showers her love for India every now and then. She also stays active on social media and treats her fans with her frequent updates. Well, today she pleased US President Joe Biden to help India to fight with the deadly Covid-19 disease.

Through her Twitter post, she thanked the US for committing to support India in the time of need.

This note reads, "The scale of the COVID crisis in India is devastating and has accelerated so quickly even over just this past week. We see the steep and alarming spike in cases, and none of us have seen anything like it, even in this pandemic. I'm thankful that in the past few days the US and other countries have answered the call of India to send urgent medical assistance and lift measures preventing Indian vaccine producers from accessing the materials they need to make doses. I was also relieved to hear that the US will share up to 60 million AstraZeneca doses with countries in need. This is a crucial step".

She further added, "My concern was the US had not yet said when and where they'll actually be delivered. I am heartened by President Biden's additional comments yesterday that he intends to send vaccines to India in the near future. So far the US has confirmed, pending FDA approval, that 10 million doses could be shared within the next few weeks. However, it could take months before the remaining 50 million are delivered."

"We need to do everything possible to help stop the spread of the virus in India, and that requires more ready-made doses for the country's 1.4 billion people. While India is the world's biggest vaccine producer, so far according to Our World in Data it has only been able to provide doses for under 10% of its population, with only 1.6% being fully vaccinated with 2 doses. Meanwhile, the US has ordered more than 550 million doses beyond the needs of its population. This is why I strongly believe that the US and other wealthy nations should share doses as soon as possible with those in urgent need, including India, and why I'm supporting Global Citizen's Vax Live campaign and so can you".

"Beyond sharing vaccines, we also need the pharmaceutical industry to act. While some vaccine manufacturers have made vaccines available to the global vaccine sharing program COVAX and developing countries at not for profit prices, others like Moderna have yet to make this commitment. At the very least, they should agree to provide doses to vaccinate community health workers in the worst-hit countries immediately through COVAX at a significantly discounted price. More vaccines for COVAX will not just help India but many countries around the world. Please use your voice to demand these vaccines be sent out as soon as possible. As President Macron — who has already shared 100,000 vaccine doses with Africa this month — has said, 'The time has come to share".

Along with sharing this note, she also wrote, "I've been reading some of the responses to my tweet and want to talk more about why I'm taking action with @GlblCtzn. I'll be here with the @GlblCtznImpact team for the next 20 mins to answer some questions on how everyone can take action."

Finally, she also urged all her fans to get vaccinated through this post…

"Let's do this India! Register to get your vaccine today."
