Around 200 members belonging to the citizen’s movement group Awaken India, who have been raising their voice over the past year against the then in-trial Coronavirus vaccine as well as the “forced” wearing of masks, came together at Dadar’s Kotwal Garden at 3 pm on Saturday to “expose the rushed-up COVID-19 vaccine fraud being perpetrated on Indians”.


Over the past year, the group has been opposing a multitude of things, including “the forced wearing of masks, the RT-PCR testing, the lockdowns which have destroyed our society, our economy… heading towards a highly centralised technocratic governance system of totalitarian digital tyrannical control”. They have also protested against a “surveillance state based on digital certification, tracing, tracking, monitoring, control and command quantum grid system based on Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things (IoT), run through dangerous and weaponised MMW 5G Wireless technology”. 


“Today the reality is that people are more scared of taking the vaccines than they are of COVID-19,” said the group. “We thus demand complete transparency on all COVID-19 vaccine human trial data.” Speaking with mid-day, activist Feroz Mithiborwala said: “If vaccines are safe, then why is there no legal accountability and no legal provision of compensation for its adversely affected victims? Worse, even as both Serum Institute of India, Oxford/Astra Zenaca and Bharat Biotech, including Pfizer, Moderna, GlaxoSmithKline and others claim to be totally safe, these are no more than lies, and desperate claims. The government and pharma companies should declare that the pharmaceutical-vaccine manufacturers will be legally liable and accountable to face the courts.” Another member, Yohan Tengra, said, “It is highly questionable and suspicious as to why the CEO of Serum Institute of India, Adar Poonawalla, has come out publicly and asked the government to exempt them of any legal liability. These trials world over are a mere eyewash! As stated by the British Medical Journal,  ‘the mantra of a highly successful trial, is in the trial design itself.’”
