Pakistan's "So-called Indigenous" Vaccine!
Imran Khan's government in Pakistan, which has come on the back foot before the attacks of the opposition, as well as the people of Pakistan who are fighting for their existence due to inflation and unemployment in the era of this epidemic. In such a situation, the government of Pakistan is resorting to corrupt methods to shine its image.Pakistan's Vaccine!
To give a big boost to the government's coronavirus vaccination campaign, according to an official statement from the government of Pakistan has been developed Covid-19 vaccine 'Pakvac'vaccine. An event held on June 1st, 'Pak vac' was launched, in which Pakistan's Planning Minister Asad Umar, who also heads the National Command and Operations Center (NCOC), along with special assistants to the Prime Minister on National Health Services, Dr. Faisal Sultan.
It is noteworthy that while addressing the event, Omar said that this day is an important day for the country, and the entire nation is 'proud' of the team that 'developed the vaccine'. It is being told from the government that this vaccine has been developed with the help of CanSino Bio of China and now it has been launched for use in Pakistan.
Vaccine's reality!
In reality, the claim of the Government of Pakistan is completely false. PakVac is developed by China's state-run pharmaceutical company CanSino Bio. According to the Pakistani newspaper The Express Tribune, it has been brought to Pakistan in prepared and concentrated form, and it has been repacked at the National Institute of Health (NIH) located in Islamabad. And the same method is to be implemented in the future also.
According to China's official media portal Xinhua, By technical support of CanSino, Pakistan's NIH recently filled and packaged more than 120,000 single doses of CanSino Vaccine using bulk vaccines purchased from China. Xinhua further states that the CanSino vaccine has been developed by CanSino Biologics Inc. and the Academy of Military Sciences in China.
And just before the Phase III trial of the vaccine was conducted in Pakistan, it is the 'second Chinese COVID-19 vaccine' that Pakistan has approved for emergency use in the country. In reality of CanSino is the first such Chinese vaccine developed in China, which was clinically tested on the people of Pakistan, and in lieu of this, Pakistan wore the tag of co-developer!
Pakistan launched a COVID-19 vaccination campaign in February with Sinoform shots donated by China. Along with this, it is also importing Sinovac manufactured in China. But the Chinese vaccine is being viewed with suspicion among the urban and intelligentsia of Pakistan. Although Pakistan has also allowed the import of vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, due to the poor financial condition of Pakistan, it is not possible that it is in a position to bear this expenditure.
Pakistan's neglectful attitude towards its common people is to the extent of inhumanity. The effectiveness of Chinese vaccines is being considered doubtful around the world, in such a situation it is a criminal act to mislead the public by presenting a vaccine as an indigenous product without going through a rigorous trial. Pakistan's record in the development of science and innovative technology has been ridiculous. He has been trying to show his development by pasting many labels like Ghazni, Gauri, and Babur to the missiles imported from China and North Korea. After weapons of mass destruction, this pattern is now being seen with vaccines, but Pakistan should think this time the lives of its own citizens are at stake!
