While inside Iran, the regime speaks of producing a \u201cdomestic vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, what is the real problem? A glance at state-run media elucidates the matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnlike other countries, lined up to purchase vaccines, Iran has taken another decision. In previous weeks, [authorities] made contradictory remarks about problems blocking the pathway of purchasing vaccines. Including, \u2018lack of sufficient foreign exchange resources,\u2019 \u2018lack of the possibility of currency transfer,\u2019 \u2018sanctions,\u2019 \u2018lack of possibility of proper transportation,\u2019 etc.,\u201d wrote state-run Mardom Salari daily on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough the Iranian authorities, from the Governor of the Central Bank to government officials and the President and the Ministry of Health, had already assured people of purchasing a final and effective vaccine from any country; they seemingly changed their opinion leaning towards the fact that the country does not need foreign vaccines,\u201d Mardom Salari added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe authorities\u2019 approach has made the people doubt their determination to eradicate the coronavirus. Because the officials have forgotten all their sayings about getting the vaccine and have now turned to political perceptions of this issue, they intend to achieve other goals by blaming sanctions,\u201d Mardom Salari\u2019s article continued.<\/p>\n<p>The Revolutionary Guards (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc\/\" rel=\"noopener\">IRGC<\/a>) controls Iran\u2019s pharmacology industry. The hollow promises of producing the so-called \u201cnational vaccine,\u201d is another pathway for the IRGC to plunder the nation, to fund its terrorist activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe country\u2019s officials, especially in the Ministry of Health, have intensified their maneuvers on the Iranian vaccine, while according to health experts, the clinical trials of this vaccine have not yet been completed, and even the human testing phase is in a state of ambiguity,\u201d Mardom Salari wrote in this regard. This process will at least take six months.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-219239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite Moderna vaccine production and its easier access and procuring conditions, the authorities insist people should await a vaccine, which will arrive in the winter, and be used in spring,\u201d wrote state-run Hamdeli daily on December 23.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe six-month promise by health officials comes as time passes quickly and Covid-19 kills 200 Iranians a day and sends 200 families into mourning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reports tallied by the Iranian Resistance as of Wednesday indicate that over <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/statement-human-rights\/iran-coronavirus-disaster-in-iran-death-toll-in-475-cities-exceeds-190300\/\" rel=\"noopener\">190,000 people<\/a> have so far died of the novel coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>The regime used the Covid-19 outbreak and its high mortality rate, which is a result of the authorities\u2019 inaction.<\/p>\n<p>Covid-19 was the regime\u2019s savior after its foundations were rattled after the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-november-2019-uprising-and-its-amplifications\/\" rel=\"noopener\">major Iran protests<\/a> in 2019, and the regime was facing a restive society. The high mortality rate of this virus acted as a barrier to another uprising. The regime intends to continue this strategy by playing with the issue of vaccination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany believe that not buying a vaccine or even procrastinating in buying it in a situation where 200 people die a day will remain in history as an unforgivable act,\u201d Hamdeli warned the regime\u2019s officials.<\/p>\n<p>Hamdeli then acknowledged sanctions are not preventing the regime from purchasing the Covid-19 vaccine. \u201cUndoubtedly, the price of the vaccine for the Iranian economy is not an extraordinary amount that it cannot provide. Especially when we compare the vaccine\u2019s price with the billion-dollar budget of some institutions whose performance and impact on society is in a state of ambiguity. Thus, we conclude that the Iranian economy can cover the amount needed to buy the vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now the question, as Mardom Salari asked, is: \u201cwhen the vaccine can be delivered to the people six months earlier to control the disease faster, why do officials prefer to produce the Iranian vaccine?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The regime tries to profit from people\u2019s pain. In other words, since the regime could profit from producing the so-called domestic vaccine, it is ready to have more people killed.<br \/>\nBut the state-run run Setareh Sobh wrote on Wednesday, \u201cThe bitterness of the delay in buying the vaccine will not be erased from the nation\u2019s memory. Not buying the vaccine, even in a situation where we lose about two hundred people daily, is the pain in people\u2019s hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, the state-run Sharq warned the regime that people are \u201cfed up and have lost patience.\u201d \u201cEven a day of delay in vaccination can have serious consequences for our society,\u201d Sharq warned officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike other nations, Iran&rsquo;s people are not receiving the Covid-19 vaccine, despite the high death toll.
