Iran’s supreme leader on Friday banned the import of American and British-produced vaccines against Covid-19
, saying they were “completely untrustworthy”.
Importing vaccines made in the US or the UK is prohibited. They’re completely untrustworthy. It’s not unlikely they would want to contaminate other nations. Given our experience with France’s HIV-tainted blood supplies, French vaccines aren’t trustworthy either. #CoronaVaccine
