While these results have come recently, it is possible that the mRNA vaccine developers, particularly Pfizer, knew about such possible effects of their vaccines already. The American pharmaceutical giant has been seeking immunity from any action against any future adverse actions of its vaccine. The company even wanted several countries to put up sovereign assets, including military bases and federal bank reserves, as collateral for potential future legal costs arising out of adverse effects of the vaccine.
India’s opposition leaders including Rahul Gandhi, several left-liberals and journalists wanted the Indian govt to agree to such conditions of the company to approve the vaccine in India, and purchase the same from the public vaccination program. But the Modi govt didn’t give in to such pressures and has achieved the billion-plus doses of Covid-19 vaccines using traditional technology vaccines manufactured in India.
It is notable that Indians need not worry about this study result, because the mRNA vaccines have not been introduced in India. Despite relentless propaganda by opposition parties, left-liberals, and big-pharma, Modi government refused to agree to extreme terms and conditions of the American pharma giants to procure their vaccines. Instead, the Indian govt kept its faith on vaccines made in India, which were developed using tried and tested technologies that have been used to develop several vaccines earlier.
Covaxin developed by Bharat Biotech, which faced the worst kind of attacks from politicians and activists, is an inactivated virus, which is a proven vaccine technology developed more than a century ago. Similarly, the Covishield, the most used Covid-19 vaccine in India, is a viral vector vaccine, a technology used to develop several other vaccines for several viral diseases.
