Global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas took to her official Twitter handle and posted a tweet tagging US President Joe Biden and other high-ranking officials while explaining the critical condition of her country and urged them to share vaccines as soon as possible. She also stated that while India is suffering from a horrific second wave of the pandemic, and that the US has ordered 550M more vaccines than needed.

Although this tweet of hers was appreciated by Indian citizens, a Twitter user replied to her post by saying that more than vaccines, people in the country need oxygen, ventilators, and hospital beds. The Twitter user named Nischal Mishra also added that India can produce enough vaccines if there is an unhindered supply of raw material. Priyanka was asked to shift her focus to more important requirements. She retaliated saying all those tools are important and there is a need to build collective immunity, which can be done by the use of vaccines.
