Pune-based Serum Institute of India (SII), founded by Cyrus Poonawalla in 1966, is the world's largest vaccine manufacturer, which produces over 1.5 billion doses and immunises over 65 per cent of the children worldwide. Serum Institute made headlines globally after it launched three critical initiatives for defeating COVID-19 virus - one with UK's Oxford University, one with US-based biotech company Codagenix, and its own recombinant BCG vaccine.
In an exclusive interview with PB Jayakumar of Business Today, Adar Poonawala, son of Cyrus Poonawala and CEO of Serum Institute of India, says he is taking the risk of initiating production even before the vaccine has reached advanced clinical trials and will sell the vaccine, if developed, for just Rs 1,000 per dose.

  3. A vaccine is toxic, damaging "medicine" delivered by a "shot" into the blood stream, by-passing the body's filter system. Medicine causes bad reactions, a vaccine should not. A vaccine is suppose to make the (victim) immune to the disease meant to protect. Yet...people still get the disease, because of the vaccine. Quite a dilemma...Edgar Crookshank thought the same thing, so he went over the original work of Edward Jenner and found it to be junk science.


    Vaccines are a bioweapon the way the CDC uses them.
