Khamenei\u2019s remarks came at the peak of the regime\u2019s deceptive measures for two weeks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Parallel to the Covid-19 death toll, Iranians\u2019 demand to have access to vaccines increased. In order to quell the restive society and continue using the virus and its death toll to prevent an uprising, the regime\u2019s leaders started playing with people\u2019s lives. They first blamed sanctions for not being able to import the vaccine. This claim was immediately rejected by COVAX, one of three pillars of the Access to Covid-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator, which was launched last April by the World Health Organization (WHO).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Then, the regime claimed to have produced a domestic vaccine, which pharmacists in Iran <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eurasiareview.com\/29122020-167-pharmacists-call-irans-claim-of-making-covid-19-vaccine-a-joke-oped\/\" rel=\"noopener\">called<\/a> a \u201cjoke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When the regime failed in its quest to deceive the public, Khamenei explicitly banned the entry of credible vaccines. Then officials tried to defend Khamenei\u2019s remarks, calling the credible vaccines produced in the US and UK \u201cdangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Iranians took to social media, expressing their outrage. When Rouhani advertised the regime\u2019s joint program with Cuba to produce vaccines, people rejected his claims, calling him \u201ca liar,\u201d adding, \u201cAfter years of lies, how could we trust your vaccine?\u201d<\/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 style=\"text-align: justify\">Simultaneous with their refusal to purchase vaccines, the authorities reopened schools and removed some limitations. The regime\u2019s actions forced some of its officials to react.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minoo Mohraz, a member of the regime\u2019s National Covid-19 Task Force, on Tuesday said: \u201cHas any vaccine arrived in Iran that officials reopen schools? People pay the price of the contradictory actions of authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The rising social hatred toward the regime\u2019s inhuman policy forced the clerical regime to claim it will purchase vaccines. \u201cWe will purchase 16 million doses of vaccine from COVAX,\u201d said Kianoosh Jahanpour, Head of the Information Center of the Ministry of Health, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">These claims of importing vaccines are meant to decrease the society\u2019s restiveness. The regime continues its deceptiveness to drag its feet and continue using Covid-19 and its mass casualties as a barrier against another uprising.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In other words, these contradictory remarks are because the regime is facing an outraged society whose hatred for the whole system is too great. Any incident could spark a huge explosion, ending the regime\u2019s ominous rule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to the Iranian regime&rsquo;s ongoing inhumane coronavirus policy, the Covid-19 death toll continues to rise across Iran.
