With health experts predicting that a sixth wave of Covid-19 infections is imminent, the rising death toll due to the pandemic begs the question to just how effective the Iranian regime\u2019s domestic vaccine is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 17, the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>) has revealed that over 458,700 people have died as a result of contracting the Covid-19 virus. The same day, engineered statistics from the regime put the death toll at 125,000, in an attempt to minimize just how serious the pandemic in Iran is. So far, the total number of people currently infected with the coronavirus is fast approaching six million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)<\/a> said, \u201cThe current situation is due to the regime\u2019s inhumane policies and practices, with the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei directly leading this inhumane Covid-19<\/a> policy and actions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January of this year, Khamenei made the decision to ban imports of Covid-19 vaccines from Western countries, preferring instead to produce and endorse domestic alternatives. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), these domestically-produced vaccines have been proven to be less effective than the reputable foreign vaccines, and there has been a lack of proper testing done on them. This therefore explains the failure rate of Iran\u2019s vaccines in protecting Iranians against the virus, as well as the emergence of severe side effects across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
