The COVID 19 vaccines, which were administered to over a billion Indians over the course of more than two years, have “multiple side-effects,” according to the government’s two top watchdogs. The shocking information was provided in an RTI response to Pune businessman Prafful Sarda by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO).
India has approved the use of six vaccines, including “Covishield” from AstraZeneca and Serum Institute of India, “Covovax” from SII, “Covaxin” from Bharat Biotech, “Sputnik V” from Dr. Reddy’s Lab, “CorBEvax” from Biological E. Ltd., and later, “ZyCov-D” for teenagers from Cadila Healthcare Ltd. (12-17 age).
