The Serum Institute of India has no right to halt the supply of vaccines of novel coronavirus (Covid-19) as Bangladesh has paid in advance for the vaccines, said Beximco Pharmaceuticals managing director Nazmul Hassan alias Papon on Saturday.

He was speaking to newsmen after taking the second dose of the vaccine of the highly infectious disease at Kurmitola General Hospital in the capital.

Nazmul said money has been paid in advance for 15 million doses of the vaccine. So far, seven million doses have been received. The Serum Institute is yet to deliver another eight million doses of the vaccine. The government should speak up strongly for the vaccine.

Beximco Pharmaceuticals has been acting as an agent to bring the vaccines from the Serum Institute of India.

“It’s totally unacceptable for Serum not to send the vaccines as the government has paid in advance. The government must firmly say that the vaccines have to be provided as advance payment has be made. We have paid for 15 million doses of vaccine. Serum has no right to halt the supply,” the Beximco Pharmaceuticals MD said.

Nazmul also said the time has come to consider whether India is a actually a friend of Bangladesh. Sweet talk won’t work. The vaccines must be delivered, he added.

Recently, Serum Institute CEO Adar Poonawalla said they will not be able to export Covid-19 vaccines before June-July.

So, only when their bottom line is impacted, they get the realization that India is actually not a friend of Bangladesh. Where was this realization when they were stupid enough to have a single-source solution for this critical challenge? Where is this realization when Bangladeshi national interests are surrendered to appease India?

Money > Bangladesh national interest.

Should of stuck with Chinese, Russian, or Western sourced vaccines. Effectiveness of Indian vaccines is questionable, fully vaccinated people are dying in India in the current wave.

The vaccine that BD is getting is AstraZeneca manufactured India. It is exactly the same vaccine as the UK and most of Europe is using.

In India they are mainly using AstraZeneca and also a little of their own,which may be just as effective as AstraZeneca but we need more data to be sure.

No, as regards fully vaccinated people dying as we do not have enough data on this yet. Remember only around 2-3% of the population had been vaccinated (1 AstraZeneca jab plus 2-3 week wait) before this wave hit properly.

there is no evidence of any deaths from COVID of a fully or partially vaccinated individual anywhere in the world this applies to all approved vaccines be it American, European , Russian, Indian or Chinese.

Serum is selling a re-branded western vaccine itself.

You should protest against the US that has blocked the export of vaccine raw materials.

My info comes from media interviews of Indian doctors. People who have already been infected previously as well as people that have been fully vaccinated are dying in the current wave in India. Maybe it has to do with mutant strains that are more virulent.

I am just perturbed at the callous attitude of Indian leaders in Delhi. When a person or trader receives the agreed amount of advance payment, it becomes a deal written or not. In Bengali this is called (বায়না নেওয়া). Once taken, it is mandatory that the trader supplies the promised goods.

India must be complained against in an international criminal court.

Do not be upset as it is showing the real nature of India to you. They want to become super power and global leader,but they completely lack the quality.

And that's why India will remain foot soldiers to super powers always,but neither can be super power nor can be economically developed like them.

Amateurs can't be taught professional ethics so soon,and India is actually amateur in this area.

Ultra nationalism is such garbage that will always let you down and day by day you will sink into oblivion.

Off topic :This type of policy is adopted by chetona bahini of Bangladesh, and as a result they will be sunk in oblivion in Bangladesh soon.

India dont give shit lol.

Hasina can now kneel and **** china to get some vaccine. I doubt it will work though. eight months ago china offered...said no. BD origin company globe biotech wanted to do trial ***** said no. now whinning about this.

Now wait till indian varient spread to bd since hasina too afraid to close indian border. In BC, vancouver we already have indian varient which mean BD which is so close to india its already spreading.

US can't do that even if it wanted to owing to contractual obligations....it would have donated to other allied nations way before india but there are binding sections that prohibit US from exporting the material

What you should be perturbed at is your lack of information on what is happening. The US has stopped supplying raw materials for vaccine production. There are clauses called force majeure for such situations when the companies cannot fulfil the contract because of circumstances beyond their control.

The vaccine production is limited and their contracts with the Indian Govt. will be honoured first because they were signed first.

USA wont even send to canada. I doubt they will help any one unless every us citizen has it. almost 95 percent vaccines we got are manufacuture in europe.
