The Vaccine War

'The Vaccine War' movie charts the story of Indian scientists fighting it out not just is based on a book named 'Going Viral' which has been authored by Prof Balram Bhargava, Director General, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). It seeks to dispel misconceptions about the COVID-19 vaccine by highlighting the contributions of unsung heroes, frontline workers, and tenacious scientists who worked nonstop for months to develop Covaxin, India's domestic COVID-19 vaccine.

Former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma made her first public appearace over a year after she was hounded by Islamists.

With dialogues like – “India can’t do it” and emphatically highlighting reports like “Foreign vaccines: The Need of a modern India”, the film promises to tackle the negative media campaigns and propaganda that the Indian scientific communities had to face during the trials and tribulations of making the vaccine.
