The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 121,779 around a fourth of the actual figure.
The coronavirus death toll in various provinces include: 105,376 in Tehran, 37,015 in Razavi Khorasan, 30,310 in Isfahan, 27,565 in Khuzestan, 16,193 in West Azerbaijan, 16,190 in Fars, 15,833 in East Azerbaijan, 15,010 in Lorestan, 13,208 in Alborz, 10,065 in Golestan, 8119 in Kermanshah, 7423 in Yazd, 5759 in North Khorasan, 5029 in Qazvin, 4273 in Ilam, 3896 in South Khorasan, and 3415 in Chaharmahal & Bakhtiari.

“Seventy percent of the population has been vaccinated,” regime President Ebrahim Raisi said on Wednesday in an obvious lie.
“It is illogical to celebrate after providing the first dose to 70 percent of the public,” said Alireza Marandi, personal physician to regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, on Wednesday. “The first dose has little effect and in fact provides no protection against coronavirus. Therefore, at least two doses are needed and even that will not provide full safety and immunity. As a result, any vaccination percentage that is announced must include those who have received two doses, and not include those who have received their first dose among those who have been fully vaccinated. Right now, state media outlets are calculating the total number of people who have received both their first and second doses. This is incorrect and they should be calculated separately,” he added.
“Since people are not welcoming the existing vaccines, the country’s health officials have once again banned the import of approved vaccines, such as Pfizer… Discussions regarding vaccination in Iran continues while the results of clinical studies regarding the Barekat vaccine have not been made public,” according to a Wednesday piece published by the state-run Arman-e Meli newspaper.
In Tehran, the deputy dean of Iran Medical Sciences University said, “We are still worried that the number of cases in Tehran will increase again. We must not think that vaccination can allow us to tone down the protocols. On the other hand, if new variants of the virus enter the country and these variants cause an increase in infections, we might be faced with a sixth peak that is even worse than the previous one.” (Source: ISNA news agency)
