NDIA, February 10, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – US-based COVID-19 vaccine maker Pfizer has withdrawn its application for emergency-use authorization of its product in India after the country’s health authorities demanded local safety testing.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.
LifeSiteNews has produced an extensive COVID-19 vaccines resources page. View it here.
my doctors office called today to ask if I wanted the vaccine, I politely said no thanks.
Why bother? Its another article with incomplete and half truths propagated by discredited organizations whose founders state that gynecological problems are because women are sleeping with demons in their dreams and implying things that are untrue in terms of science literature.
However the anitvaxxers (as you claim there are provaxxers) are willing to lap it up with no analysis, discussion, or logic.
Enjoy your echo chamber.
India has virtually wiped out the virus with Ivermectin*. They don’t vaccines at this point.
*great drug for prevention and early treatment of the virus, but too inexpensive for Western countries.
I wonder if there are nice places to move to in India?
Hmmm...rather than prove the safety of their product, they fled.
Wonder why?
“If India has HCQ then why would India need vaccines?”
Exactly. Nor do they have big pharma and the cdc demanding that you allow them to run your life.
It could be that India doesn’t want the competition for its locally developed vaccine.
I guess we know the credibility of "LifeSiteNews" now: ZERO.
This kind of stupidity needs to stop.
But then maybe the Indian government's attitude is: "we could certainly do with about 50 million fewer 80 year olds so maybe we'll just take a pass on these vaccines".
Cynical? Yes. But you can bet your last nickel that that's the attitude that the Butchers of Beijing have toward *their* people.
Yes, its a daily pseudoscience-gasm for those who simply want to prolong the lockdowns and pandemic. But what the heck. They are against what Trump did, they seem to enjoy telling other people to not have life saving vaccinations based on things that seems to speak to their opinion with no factual basis.
Its quite curios to me.
Genotoxity studies have not been done on the mRNA vaccines.
“The truth about this so-called vaccine is that it’s not really a vaccine at all. Once one has received both doses, one is still capable of contracting and transmitting COVID. I’m sorry to say that if your intention was to avoid spreading the disease to others, taking this vaccine for that reason is pointless.”
Exactly the point.
Take these vaccines. Why? Will it make me immune from contracting the virus? No. Then why do I need it? Because we’re still in the testing phase and we need subjects and volunteers. So if I volunteer and I suffer severe reactions do the vaccine producers cover my medical expense? No. What do you mean no? Congress gave us immunity for liability relating to vaccines.
So can I schedule you for an appointment?
India also sells ivermectin treatment packs for $2 each.
Getting the vaccine does not prevent you from getting it or transmitting it.
There is a theory that it ***may*** not prevent transmission, however if someone actually applied logic and thought, one would arrive at these conclusions.
1. Asynptomatic transmission does not occur (multiple studies)
2. Any presumed infection while vaccinated is asymptomatic
3. Ergo, transmission will not occur.
If A=B and B=C, then A=C
However, there is theory based on “not enough time” that it cannot be definitevely said that vaccine does not prevent transmission, this is a far cry from, it does not prevent transmission
Words mean exactly what they say, no matter how many twists people put into them.
Gates and Fauci presented their mRNA-1273 Modera vaccine that is being used today as the Covid-19 vaccine at the Gates’ Foundation’s “Event 201” back in Oct. 2019 before anyone here ever heard of covid. Which came first? The vaccine or the virus.
Yes, it was discussed on threads back in March and April on FR. Yes, it and Fauci have been scrubbed off the “Event 201” site.

Sometimes I think that India’s medical establishment is far superior to ours.
Dude, You say, “India sells Ivermectin pacts for 2 dollars.” There are online pharmacy stores that sell drugs from India. Ivermectin from India might be an idea. Maybe some HCQ as well. Thanks for the information.
Go back further than that. Bill Gates little experiments with vaccines have caused nearly half a million deformed children in India.
