In comparison to vaccines endorsed by the World Health Organization, those alternatives have proven to be not effective and less extensively tested, with the latter featuring feature leaving the door open not only for the vaccine\u2019s failure but also for the widespread emergence of severe side-effects.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Recent reports indicate that\u00a0both of these\u00a0outcomes have been realized with\u00a0the domestically made\u00a0alternative to the\u00a0WHO-approved\u00a0vaccines. On Wednesday,\u00a0the state-run\u00a0newspaper\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Hamdeli<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0published an article by health expert Mohammad Reza\u00a0Mahboubfar\u00a0which stated that the\u00a0COVIran\u00a0Barekat\u00a0vaccine had stopped being administered and that the project for its production and dissemination had been dismantled in response to reports of side effects and a lack of public trust in its efficacy.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That efficacy had been in question since the earliest stages of the project in question, yet with the regime still enforcing Khamenei\u2019s ban on\u00a0foreign imports, the decision was nonetheless made to fast-track production of 50 million doses within the first half of 2021. The country missed\u00a0this goal by a wide margin, and on at least one occasion authorities seemed to loosen enforcement of the import ban in order to make up for the shortfall. The ban was reinforced in recent weeks, but with the silent failure of the\u00a0Barekat\u00a0alternative and the announcement of new foreign donations, it appears as if it may be wavering again.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It is worth noting that the Barekat Covid-19 vaccine was produced by the Barkat Pharmaceuticals Holding Company which is controlled by the Execution of Imam Khomeini\u2019s Order (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/economy\/execution-of-imam-khomeinis-order-eiko-a-pillar-of-khameneis-economic-empire-in-iran\/\" rel=\"noopener\">EIKO<\/a>).

This claim was rejected even before Khamenei\u2019s ban first went into effect, with the international organizations behind vaccine distribution confirming that the US Treasury Department had provided licenses for Iran to purchase vaccines from any country.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Such statements underscore the fact that if not for its regime\u2019s policies, Iran could have responded much more quickly and effectively to the public health crisis.\u00a0And judging by the numbers furnished by the\u00a0MEK, doing so could have most likely saved tens of thousands of lives since the start of this year.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/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-246866 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\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png 250w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1-150x50.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the People&rsquo;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) over 458,700 have died due to the novel coronavirus as of Sunday, October 17, 2021.
