The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 55,748 around a third of the actual figure. The mullahs\u2019 regime continues to endanger the lives of millions of Iranians through its delays and lies regarding the Covid-19 vaccine. \u201cWe are among the leading countries in vaccine production and other necessities to provide care for coronavirus,\u201d Ali Rabie, the spokesperson of regime President Hassan Rouhani\u2019s cabinet on Tuesday. \u201cMajor efforts have begun in the face of these undeniable achievements with the aim of leaving people disappointed. Promoting distrust in the domestic vaccine cannot be with any objective other than leaving people hopeless and in confusion,\u201d he added, according to state TV.
