A massive new surge in a variant strain begins there in early March 2021 (1 or 2 more weeks later). So this new surge happened approximately 2 months after vaccinations began.
It is interesting to note that around 50% of the people in areas of the most new cases have anti-bodies to the older variation and should have had immunity to the new strain (they admit they know little about).
Quote:India’s Massive COVID Surge Puzzles Scientists - The virus is spreading faster than ever before in the country despite previous high infection rates in megacities, which should have conferred some protection
By Smriti Mallapaty, Nature magazine on April 21, 2021
The pandemic is sweeping through India at a pace that has staggered scientists. Daily case numbers have exploded since early March: the government reported 273,810 new infections nationally on 18 April. High numbers in India have also helped drive global cases to a daily high of 854,855 in the past week, almost breaking a record set in January.
Just months earlier, antibody data had suggested that many people in cities such as Delhi and Chennai had already been infected, leading some researchers to conclude that the worst of the pandemic was over in the country.

Quote:Bengaluru: As of March 29, 2021, at least 617 serious adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) had been reported from around the country, according to a presentation made before the National AEFI Committee two days later. Of these 617, at least 180 people (29.2%) died, and of these, complete documents were available only for 35 people (19.4%) . . .
The Government of India has been drawing flak for some time after it stopped publishing AEFI reports after February 26, around 40 days after the start of India’s COVID-19 vaccination drive, and after a seemingly laidback response to concerns about AstraZeneca’s shot, called ‘Covishield’ in India.

Quote:Experts are also concerned about the spread of new variants, though it’s not yet known how these new strains are driving the spike or whether they’re more transmissible or deadlier.
But as Mukherjee put it, the more the virus spreads, the more it changes. And those changes potentially make Covid-19 harder to contain

Have a look at the "Vaccine Death Coincidence Thread" that uses graphs of examples from around the world. It seems like more than a coincidental correlation is happening.

Holy crap. Those charts!
I'm not so sure we're looking at worse strains as ADE/pathogenic priming.
New strains, ADE, along with many other factors they would normally examine seem to be the advent of a perfect storm in India (and elsewhere apparently).
