Iranian regime Health Minister Saied Namaki on Sunday expressed concerns over the new rapid spread of Covid-19 and how this new trend will be far more severe than previous waves. Namaki also expressed anger over revelations and opposition to the regime’s criminal policies regarding the coronavirus vaccine. “They say they won’t inject this or that vaccine, and some other remarks that clearly disappoint the people… We should not allow a rift between the people’s trust and honest people providing services,” he said. “Those who think they can ride economic waves in such tumultuous time, I as a minister, will not allow it. Those gentlemen who launch certain brouhahas hoping to transfer around certain resources, should think twice because we will not allow anyone establish new markets in such times,” Namaki continued, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.

Ninety-eight members of the Medical Apparatus Organization wrote a letter to regime President Hassan Rouhani: “Purchasing the Sputnik V vaccine that has not surpassed minimum global approval processes and its dangerous impact has been protested in the producing country, is not called for and quite hazardous. Transparent information of the investigative procedures and production of the Sputnik V vaccine is not available and has not been approved by any of the credible global institutions… The medical society and the Iranian people consider any hesitation, delay, practice of reservations as unacceptable and unforgivable,” the letter adds, according to the Medical Apparatus Organization website on Sunday.
“How did they suddenly reach the Russian vaccine from the Swedish, Chinese and Cuban vaccines? The officials’ behavior regarding the Russian coronavirus vaccine is severely destructive and destroys trust,” according to a Sunday piece in the state-controlled Aftab-e Yazd daily on Sunday. “Prior to the visit of [regime Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad] Zarif to Russia there was no mention of the Russian vaccine… Health Ministry officials say they have purchased vaccines from a number of countries to this day. Today they should publish the list of these countries and their experience regarding this vaccine. Another issue is the mentioning of this rumor that this vaccine is being sent to Iran for testing,” the piece adds.
Alireza Zali, head of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force said on Sunday that there is an increasing number of coronavirus patients registered into Tehran’s hospitals. “Conditions in Tehran, as before, are fragile and unstable. If there is a new peak the daily numbers will increase exponentially in a noticeably short period of time. In the past 24 hours we have had 252 new Covid-19 patients hospitalized and 90 being placed in ICUs. The number of Covid-19 patients hospitalized across Tehran stands at 1966. However, during the past week we had reached below the 1800 mark, of which 777 were in ICUs. During the third wave in Tehran we reached the peak in just ten days. If there is a new wave, we may have an increasing number of people hospitalized in a far shorter time period,” he added, according to the Tasnim news agency, an outlet linked to the regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
