TEHRAN (Iran News) – In a Sunday statement, Iran’s Parliament announced that the production of the COVID-19 vaccines by the Iranian young experts is considered an honor to the country, and announced the import of American, British, and French vaccines banned.

The lawmakers stated that in a situation that the country was under the pressure of the sanctions and the European countries refused to issue permission of exporting even face masks to Iran and the people were coping with preparing medical items, the Execution of Imam Khomeini’s Order Headquarters played the best role.

The headquarter in the very first days of the coronavirus outbreak started to produce face masks, disinfectants, sanctioned medical drugs, medical equipment, and immediate diagnosis kits, turning the threat into an opportunity, the statement added.

The statement highlighted the amazing success of the Iranian young expert to achieve the first vaccine for COVID-19 in the of Execution of Imam Khomeini’s Order Headquarters, which gained the WHO’s license for the human test.

The Iranian parliamentarians attributed the success in the production of the national vaccine to the jihadi and revolutionary management as well as belief in domestic power and young human resource.

“Given the foreign companies’ lack of documented scientific evidence and production infrastructures and also the impossibility of the examination of the American, British, and French vaccine, on the one hand, and given the existing evidence for the global side-effects and deaths due to the injection of the very vaccines, on the other, Majlis bans the import of the vaccines produced by the American, British, and French companies to prevent risking the compatriots’ health and considered the notes made by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution as the final word,” the Iranian lawmakers stressed.

Meanwhile speaking in the northern Mazandaran Province, Health Minister Saeed Namaki also provided scientific reasoning for the rejection of the Western vaccines.

He said the Western vaccines had been produced “based on the mRNA method.” Inside the US itself, he added, some articles had been published showing how the approach could manipulate the recipients’ immune system and afflict them with autoimmune diseases.

“Even in the U.S. and Europe, many people avoid the vaccines because of these speculations,” he said.

Namaki also recalled how the same Western countries had been preventing and severely complicating Iran’s access to medicine in compliance with the U.S. sanctions.
