NDIA, February 10, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – US-based COVID-19 vaccine maker Pfizer has withdrawn its application for emergency-use authorization of its product in India after the country’s health authorities demanded local safety testing.
India’s drug regulator last weekdeclined Pfizer’s request that its experimental COVID-19 mRNA vaccine “BioNTech” (BNT162b) be approved without a local trial of the product’s safety on the country’s population.
The country’s Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation formed a Subject Expert Committee that met on Feb. 3 to discuss Pfizer’s proposal for the emergency use authorization of its COVID-19 experimental vaccine.
“The committee noted that incidents of palsy, anaphylaxis and other SAE’s have been reported during post marketing and the causality of the events with the vaccine is being investigated,” the committee reported.
“Further, the firm [Pfizer] has not proposed any plan to generate safety and immunogenicity data in Indian population. After detailed deliberation, the committee has not recommended for grant of permission for emergency use in the country at this stage,” the committee added.
Pfizer in turn withdrew its application.
“Based on the deliberations at the meeting and our understanding of additional information that the regulator may need, the company has decided to withdraw its application at this time,” the company stated, as reported by Reuters.
“Pfizer will continue to engage with the authority and re-submit its approval request with additional information as it becomes available in the near future.”
India’s concerns about the safety of Pfizer’s mRNA gene-altering technology are not misplaced.
Data from the US-based National Vaccine Information Center shows that as of Jan. 29, there have been 501 deaths — a subset of 11,249 total adverse events — following COVID-19 vaccinations. Pfizer’s vaccine was taken by 59 percent of those who died while Moderna’s vaccine was taken by 41 percent.
The Norwegian Medicines Agency reported on Jan. 14 that twenty-three people died within days of receiving the first dose of Pfizer’s product.
California officials are investigating the Jan. 7 death of a 60-year-old healthcare worker who died four days after receiving his second injection of Pfizer’s product. A reportedly “perfectly healthy” 56-year-old Miami obstetrician died 16 days after receiving the Pfizer shot. State along with federal officials are investigating the Jan. 30 death of a 58-year-old Virginia woman who died hours after receiving the first dose of Pfizer’s vaccine.
America’s Frontline Doctors are urging the Biden administration to take note of India’s decision to deny Pfizer’s application based on a lack of safety.
“President Biden and his COVID-19 task force need to immediately and clearly explain to the American people why the Pfizer-BioNTech experimental vaccine is safe for Americans despite Indian drug regulators denying its emergency use based on concerns about potential side effects, immunogenicity, and other data,” the doctors’ group stated.
“The burden of proof should fall on the Biden White House to provide Americans with greater transparency and information so that they can make informed decisions about their own healthcare. Science should guide this administration’s COVID response plan not public relations, polls, and politics.”
While India has rejected Pfizer’s vaccine, it has approved the use of Oxford University’s AstraZeneca vaccine and another one developed on home soil by Bharat Biotech with the Indian Council of Medical Research, reports Reuters.

According to their latest censuses
India has 104 million people over 60. Those over 80 are probably closer to 10 million.
China has 250 million over 60. The number over 80 is probably 30 million.
Neither has 300 million 80 year olds like you are portraying
Lol
Thank you for posting this
We thinks we know who’s playing Doogie Howser on these threads.
Don’t worry just ask gates soros or fauci about safety of their vaccine
Since you’re now engaging in Ad-Hominem attacks time to provide documentation, sources etc or go away. Also show how the founders views, if true, relate to the present views of AFLDS.
Please demonstrate and ad hominem attacks. I am not sure you know what this means.
You just cannot make an answer to anything and you add more assumptions that are patently false.
Do you support the position of the founders of American Frontlkne directors regarding the origin of disease as previously stated
To be clear, it’s a simple Yea or No. Of course your refusal to answer the question and increasingly bizarre attacks point allows us to infer the answer but you continue to dishonestly avoid the question.
So, put plainly, yes or no: you agree either the potosi on or the founders of AFLD regarding the origin of disease
And you seem to confuse sensitivity with making a valid argument. In other words when you cannot come up with an answer you accuse me of being sensitive. The proper word you are seeking in logical.
GREAT news. Thanks for the ping; post.
HOORAY India
HOORAY India
HOORAY India
My my, you not only appear sensitive but now frustrated as well.
Keep tilting at those windmills
I am neither.
I don’t use windmills. I rely on the evil internal gas combustion engine. Those that rely on windmills also push vaccines.
The reference dear sir was to Don Quixote. Any well educated and classically trained person in western civilization would of course understand the reference instead of making a painfully tortured rejoinder out of spite or ignorance.
And I note you still cannot answer a simple question instead turning to increasingly bizarre attempt to defect from your obviously faulty and indefensible position
Blessing on your day.
And bless your heart.
Calm down. B..r..e..a..t..h...count to ten
Reach into your pill ball and grab a valium.
And for you I’ll repeat myself...
Rather sensitive are we? The only provaxxers with that amount of animosity are either pill pushers or lobbiests. So how do you earn your thirty pieces of silver? Perhaps you have a hobby in which you earn an ethical living?
I see. It’s ok. You can’t defend them. So you deflect. You really have little concept of debate or rhetoric. As I have only kept this conversation going for the benefit of all to see the plain truth that you never answer and obfuscate with name calling and innuendo, I have nothing further to say as you have shown the fullness of yourself
And I say that incomplete peace. You really don’t live rent free in my mind the way I appear to in yours
Have a lovely day.
Thank you for the kind words and you have a lovely day yourself.
