On Friday, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei announced a ban on vaccines from the U.S. and Britain, suggesting that the Western countries may be testing their vaccines on other nations. Shortly after his announcement, Iran’s Red Crescent Society, a non-governmental humanitarian organization, announced it had canceled an order of 150,000 Pfizer vaccines.
“The import of U.S. and British vaccines into the country is forbidden,” Khamenei said in a press conference, according to journalist Hanif Jayazeri’s translation. “I have said this to the officials, and now I am saying it publicly. If the Americans had managed to manufacture a vaccine this coronavirus fiasco would not be taking place in their country.”
Khamenei noted that in one day, the U.S. had 4,000 deaths. “If they really know how to manufacture vaccines, if the Pfizer factory can manufacture vaccines, why do they want to give it to us? Let them use it themselves so they won’t have such a high number of deaths. The same goes for the UK. We don’t trust them. I really don’t trust them,” he said.
Then the supreme leader accused the U.S. of testing vaccines on foreign governments rather than using them at home.
“Sometimes they even want to test their vaccines on other nations to see if they work or not,” he argued.
This seems a bizarre position to take, given the fact that Congressmen and various American officials have already publicly taken the Pfizer vaccine. While the rollout has been dogged with problems, Americans are hankering to take the vaccine. Khamenei’s suggestion that the U.S. is using foreign countries as guinea pigs before distributing the vaccine at home is blatantly false.

IRCS had ordered 150,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, but Moghaddam announced that order will be canceled.
“If Iran’s Ministry of Health and Medical Education demands, the IRCS is ready to import the vaccine from eastern countries if needed,” Moghaddam told the government-run outlet the Islamic Republic News Agency.
The coronavirus pandemic has hit Iran particularly hard. Satellite images from space showing mass graves appear to have confirmed the opposition’s claims that Tehran has vastly under-reported the death count from the coronavirus pandemic.
We got the same thing here only it’s the people + health care workers.
After nearly a year of being told "Follow the science and data",Biden and his minions are saying "Let's cut the dosage in half" to get more doses into arms....ignoring what the tests and evaluations and SCIENCE told them how to administer the vaccine.
The pfizer vaccine is made with mammal products, possibly pork which could be why they dont want it. Supposedly the moderno vaccine does not. Only know this because i have a family member with alphagal syndrome (allergy to mammal products due to lymes disease) and they would have anaphylactic shock if they took the pfizer vaccine.
The “seismology” (note quotes) expert actually had a point to consider until he started connecting things to earthquakes.. :)
