Yet, Iran\u2019s regime continues its inaction and refuses to vaccinate the population. In recent days, state media acknowledged the regime\u2019s vaccination hoax.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is bothering is the Health Minister\u2019s hollow promises and his inefficiency,\u201d wrote the state-run Setar-e Sobh on May 27.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn November 2020, the Health Minister [Saeed Namaki] said he bought 16 million and 800 thousand doses of the Covid-19 vaccine through COVAX\/ He then said that in March, six million vaccines were to be procured through one of the countries in the Persian Gulf and come to Iran. But all vanished,\u201d Setar-e Sobh wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDonors living in Europe planned to donate 150,000 doses of vaccine to Iranians, which the Ministry of Health lost. The promises made by the Minister of Health have not been fulfilled. The question from Saeed Namaki is why he did not fulfill his promises and why he did not buy the vaccine needed to vaccinate people?\u201d Setar-e Sobh added.<\/p>\n<p>The regime\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/qkDlcSzSm0k\" rel=\"noopener\">banned the entry of the credible Covid-19 vaccine<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImporting American and British vaccines to the country is forbidden. I have also told the authorities. If Pfizer can produce a vaccine, why do they want to give it to us? They have mass casualties,\u201d Khamenei said, confirming his intention of using the deadly virus, which he had described as a test and blessing to control the restive society.<\/p>\n<p>Once the national demand for procuring vaccines accelerated, Khamenei, his president Hassan Rouhani and other leading officials of the regime initiated a plan to plunder Iranians further. Rouhani\u2019s government announced it had tasked the \u201cprivate sector\u201d to import the Covid-19 vaccines at a lower currency exchange rate. These so-called private companies are either linked to the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc-part-2\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)<\/a> or Khamenei.<\/p>\n<p>One of these companies is the Barkat Pharmaceuticals Holding Company. Barkat\u2019s parent company owns 60.6 percent of the Alborz Investment Group, the second-largest pharmaceutical holding company in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government intends to transfer the export of the Covid-19 vaccine to private companies. These companies should purchase vaccines from foreign countries, sell them to people, and profit from it.,\u201d the state-run Aftab-e Yazd daily acknowledged on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoon, rumors spread about the corrupted institutions profiting from the low government exchange rate in importing Covid-19,\u201d Aftab-e Yazd added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe phenomenon of \u2018vaccine hoarding\u2019 is now alongside other criminal titles such as \u2018mountain hoarding,\u2019 \u2018forest hoarding,\u2019 \u2018sea hoarding,\u2019 and other embezzlements. The depth of the crisis happened when these greedy individuals who profit from people\u2019s blood used the lower governmental currency rate to buy and sell real estate, cars, stocks, gold; and by banknote printing and creating inflation; they have increased the price of these properties and assets,\u201d Aftab-e Yazd acknowledged.<\/p>\n<p>As the regime continues its inhumane covid-19 policy and vaccination hoax, more Iranians are dying daily, and state-run media warn of the Covid-19 fifth wave.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we want to normalize the situation and not consider the necessary restrictions during the upcoming elections and holidays, it is not too late to face the fifth Covid-19 wave,\u201d wrote the state-run Aftab-e Yazd on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>As the crisis deepened, the regime is no longer able to use Covid-19 to control Iranian society. Thus, the state-run Setare-e Sob warned officials that \u201cif you cannot do something, why would talk? The day will come when you should answer for the Covid-19 fatalities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran&rsquo;s Covid-19 death toll is rapidly surpassing 300,000, according to the People&rsquo;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK).
