The Case of Adar Poonawalla: Investing Indian Taxpayers' money in UK?

By Dr. Ahmed

Serum Institute of India (SII) is the producer and distributor of the AstraZeneca-OxfordUniversity Covid19 vaccine (COVISHIELD) in India and other third world countries. Adar Poonawalla, the CEO of Serum Institute of India had recently fled to London, citing 'threats' from Chief Ministers of states, some corporate bosses and VIPs. But Mr. Poonawalla had been making flip flopping his statements regarding the delay in Covishield production and the difference in its cost (sold at higher costs to state governments and private hospitals when compared to central government). We will follow the chronology of events to understand what really is going on here- based on news articles:

Late March, 2021: AstraZeneca sends legal notices to SII over delays in vaccine supplies. (Click Here).


April 6, 2021: Poonawalla demands 3000 crores aid from the government for the production of Covishield. Suggests that SII had lost millions as India had haulted/slowed the export of Covishield-attracting a legal notice from AstraZeneca. (Click Here).



April 19, 2021: Center approves 3000 Crores INR for SII, after PM Modi visit to SII. (Click Here).



April 29, 2021: Mr. Poonawalla gets Y class security from the central government after he had complained (in media) that he was getting threats from VIPs and political leaders in India. Some opposition leaders and Social Media demand Mr Poonawalla to name the people who were threatening him and to officially lodge a complaint against those people. (Click Here).


May 1 and 2, 2021: News of Mr. Poonawalla's great escape- along with his family- to London makes headlines in all major news portals. Mr. Poonawalla manages to leave India just before Britain bans flights from India. (Click Here).

May 4, 2021: Prime Minister of Britain, Boris Johnson announces that Serum Institute of India would invest 240 Million GB Pounds (2400 Crores INR) for vaccine production in Britain. (Click HERE).


May 4, 2021: Downing Street announces that SII's investment in Britain is a part of  plans for 1 Billion BGP India-UK Enhanced Trade Partnership creating around 6500 jobs in Britain! And that, SII is among a list of 20 companies which would invest in Britain. (Click Here).


By connecting the dots it appears that Mr. Poonawalla had taken the 3000 Crores from India and planning to invest it in London. For sure green pastures of huge vaccine markets of Europe and US are waiting for him. I might be wrong, but for a common man, this entire episode looks too fishy and suspicious. What really happened can never be known for sure.

Mr. Drosten's strange relationship to freedom of expression

By Dr. Ahmed
  Christian Drosten This is Christian Drosten , who is responsible for the Covid PCR protocol that bypassed the peer review process. There most likely wouldn't have been any pandemic if he hadn't committed scientific fraud. The irony is that he now appears to be advocating for the restriction of scientific freedom in favor of health policy, a notion that's completely unconstitutional. During a discussion at the "World Health Summit" in October, Drosten emphasized the rise in misinformation online, especially during the COVID-19 'pandemic', and urged media and fellow scientists to correct false information. He suggested that scientific institutions should select and spotlight individuals who are 'true experts' in their fields to combat misinformation. The concern arises as to who gets to decide who these "true experts" are. Is Drosten volunteering himself for this role? His past statements might suggest so. Drosten, in a previous interview...

Story of Vitamin B17/Amygdalin/Laetrile/ and Cancer

By Dr. Ahmed
Amygdalin is a compound found in seeds of all fruits except those of citrus fruits. It is found in high amounts in Apricot kernels and Almonds.  Anti-tumor properties of Amygdalin have been discussed and argued over and over through out the cancer research circles. A quick google search of 'Amygdalin' will tell you that it is a 'quack medicine', that it has no action on cancer cells and that it is dangerously poisonous substance. Laetrile is the name of semi-synthetic (drug- tablet and injection) form of amygdalin available in the market.  Let me present the readers with PubMed articles - published data in prestigious peer reviewed journals, regarding the anti-tumor properties of Amygdalin. Links will be provided with each statement. Amygdalin has anti-tumor tumor properties. It has antitussive and antiasthamatic effects. It has apoptotic effect on Renal Fibroblasts- helpful in chronic kidney disease. It stimulates the immune system and acts as an analg...

Electromagnetic Fields and Cancer

By Dr. Ahmed
STUDY CITES INCIDENCE OF CANCER NEAR POWER LINES By ELIZABETH KOLBERT, Special to the New York Times Published: July 9, 1987 ALBANY, July 8—  A study issued today by the New York State Health Department says that children with leukemia or brain cancer are more likely than healthy children to be living in homes where the exposure to the magnetic fields generated by electric power lines is high. In addition to the higher incidence of childhood cancer, the study suggests that exposure to a magnetic field causes behavorial changes in laboratory animals. Researchers were quick to note that they could not explain the higher incidence of cancer and that the study did not establish a direct cause-and-effect link. Other variables not measured by the study could be factors in the development of cancer, for which the incidence among children is 1 in 10,000 each year. ''It is not obvious what a mechanism of inducing cancer might be,'' said Dr. Dav...
