SAEDNEWS: The Medical System Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran responded to claims made by a cleric claiming Islamic medicine, alleging the assassination of IRGC commanders through the coronavirus vaccine.
According to SAEDNEWS, quoting Hamshahri Online, Abbas Tabrizian, a cleric claiming Islamic medicine, wrote on his Telegram channel:
“IRGC commanders were tracked and assassinated through the coronavirus vaccine they received years ago.”
Dr. Seyed Mohammad Mirkhani, Deputy for Social and Parliamentary Affairs of the Medical System Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, responded to this claim, saying:
“At a time when the country faces internal and external threats, the medical community and healthcare staff stand unwaveringly alongside the nation, tirelessly fulfilling their duties. The vulgar, unscientific, and entirely false statements by ‘Sheikh Abbas Tabrizian’ about vaccination have caused public confusion, undermined people’s trust, disturbed the psychological security of society, and insulted the esteemed Shia clergy.”
He emphasized:
“This person’s baseless claim that ‘the injection of the vaccine led to the identification and martyrdom of IRGC commanders’ is not only devoid of any scientific value but certainly made without awareness that the Supreme Leader himself was the first recipient of the Iranian coronavirus vaccine. This is a clear case of spreading lies, inciting public opinion, and collaborating with the enemies of the country. Such behavior has a precedent and caused disastrous results during the coronavirus pandemic as well.”
According to Mirkhani, the Medical System Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly rejects, invalidates, and considers these statements misleading, demanding decisive and immediate judicial action against this individual and others like him.
“Although it is obvious that the majority of the honorable Iranian people do not take these foolish and dangerous words seriously, it is necessary to remind the public to preserve their health by following the scientific and legal authorities of the country.”
He also stated:
“The security of public health is our red line. It cannot be undermined by lies and demagoguery.”
