Favipiravir, a Japanese Corona Drug and the Regime’s Criminal Cover-Up
On April 1, 2020, there was controversial news about the outbreak of coronavirus. An Iranian doctor’s dispute with the Ministry of Health over a Japanese drug that is said to have had a positive effect on several patients with coronavirus has been positive. It has been able to control the disease.
Mohammad Reza Hashemian, who is said to be one of the most skilled and efficient doctors at Masih Daneshvari Hospital in the field of coronary artery bypass grafting, criticized the Ministry of Health for preventing the treatment of patients with Japanese Favipiravir. The doctor said that 27 patients had made a definitive recovery from the 30 patients who had used the drug.
Following the doctor’s remarks in cyberspace, the Ministry of Health accused him of violating the law, saying that “conducting any interviews and presenting any report as a confirmation or rejection of the effectiveness of this drug has not been approved by the committee and is considered a violation.” (Government News Agency, April 3, 2020)
So far, it seems that this drug has been used both for clinical trials and for limited use for some patients. He is accused of violating and disobeying the doctor.
The doctors’ news telegram channel wrote in a post:
“This drug has also been used to treat Dr. Velayati. It is said that the import of this number of Favipiravir took place in March 2020 with the help of the provincial government.
The main reason for not delivering this medicine to the patients of Masih Daneshvari Hospital is its storage and use for the treatment of the country’s officials. “

In response, the Hamshahri Online government website (April 3, 2020) wrote:
“Corona is undoubtedly a virus that infects everyone, just as it affected many people after entering Iran, including members of parliament, parliamentarians, ministers, and so on. Since no specific drug has been developed to treat the disease and can only be prevented by good health, some virtual channels have reported that the anti-coronavirus favipiravir has entered the country, mainly for officials. “For example, it has been used to treat Alikbar Velayati and has had a good response, while doctors say there is still no known drug in the country or in the world to treat coronavirus.”
The government website did not say why there was a difference between the Corona of the authorities and the Corona of the people, and that vertebrates such as Ali Akbar Velayati were treated and treated after the Corona.
But the state-run Jahan Sanat newspaper, in an article titled “Drug rent, grabbed Corona ?!” By Dr. Maryam Sadat Khorramgah, while explaining the route of passage and collection of the antipyretic drug Favipiravir, he wrote in favor of the official officials of the regime:
“The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is currently seeking to stockpile pharmaceutical reserves in the country under the false pretext of not approving the FDA, exclusively in the treatment of managers and officials with COVID-19. “
Production of “Iranian medicine”! A sheer deception and hypocrisy
On March 22, 2020, Mohammad Reza Shanesaz, head of the regime’s Food and Drug Administration, spoke of an “Iranian drug”! “The raw materials for the drug were imported yesterday,” he said.
“In this way, the process of making a completely Iranian drug will begin, and within the next week to 10 days, we will use Iranian drugs to treat coronary heart disease,” he added.
“The clinical trials of this combination drug have been performed, and licenses have been obtained,” the regime official said of the drug being tested on several patients.
“The drug will be available in the next ten days and will be widely distributed,” he said. (Source: Hamshahri Online)
The obvious contradiction
The allegation of sending Iranian medicine to the market is denied 13 days later in the announcement of the Ministry of Health, clinical trials and obtaining a license for this drug: (Favipiravir) informs that the drug has not yet been imported into the Iranian Pharmacopoeia and is currently being used as a drug in a clinical trial and has been given to several medical centers, including Masih Daneshvari Hospital. The committee has not been notified, so any action is taken and provide any reports as approved by the committee approve or reject the efficacy of these drugs is not an offense. “ (Announcement of the Ministry of Health. Hamshahri Online April 4, 2020)
The scandal of producing “Iranian medicine”!
“It is not easy to produce drugs in Iran immediately after a personal statement. The drug was not approved by the FDA and was manufactured by Fujifilm Japan, a Japanese regulatory body.
The exciting part of the story is that he says: “At the same time, Iran applied to China for research and 15,000” doses “of this drug were provided to our country and used in several hospitals for clinical trials. “
Even more impressive is that it turns out to be an “Iranian drug”! The head of the regime’s Food and Drug Administration is the Japanese drug Avigan, which originated in China, and some of its Chinese types has reached the mullahs and may have been used by high-ranking regime officials. It is Iran.
“Consultations have been held with two manufacturers to produce this drug, and one importing company has succeeded in importing the drug. “Also, the manufacturer has succeeded in importing its raw materials, and if the results of the clinical trials are confirmed, the drug will enter the market in the next few days.” (Hamshahri Online Online Government Site — April 2, 2020)
Are there many unanswered questions in this regard? But so far, the revelation of this issue by a doctor at Masih Daneshvari Hospital has exposed the malice and criminal concealment of the Velayat-e-Faqih regime. Probably, this story also has backgrounds that will be revealed soon and will increase the growing hatred of the Iranian people for the crimes of this regime.
