CAIRO - A

few tens of pounds put by a citizen in the hands of a health worker, may solve the problem of obtaining a vaccination certificate, or allay fears of the Chinese Corona vaccine, but it recently caused a crisis for the Ministry of Health in Minya Governorate (south of Cairo) when citizens discovered thousands of The usable Chinese Sinopharm vaccine packages are lying next to a drain.

This is the closest explanation to health, according to citizens of the governorate who spoke to Al Jazeera Net, as part of attempts to decipher the mystery of the existence of these quantities of the vaccine dumped in this way.

The owners of this interpretation believe that the health officials in the governorate discovered that the lists in which the recipients of the vaccine are counted include more citizens than the doses that were actually consumed. Watery settlement of the order.

One of the sons of the Bani Mazar Center in Minya Governorate - on condition of anonymity - tells that he was able to obtain a certificate of vaccination with the Sinopharma vaccine against the Corona virus without actually receiving the vaccination, as he "is not reassured about its feasibility, and fears its effects in the future," according to what he told Al Jazeera Net. .

But because he may need an official certificate stating that he received the vaccination, he has “understanding” with the health worker to obtain the certificate without vaccination or having to wait hours in front of the vaccination center.

And a number of Egyptians - in rural and Upper Egypt - believe that the Ministry of Health is feeding them against Corona with a “non-internationally approved, cheap and ineffective” vaccine, which is the Chinese Sinofarm vaccine, while it feeds the people of Cairo and “important people” with European and American vaccines, according to what a reporter said. From Assiut, one of the private news sites, spoke to Al-Jazeera Net, refusing to reveal his name.

However, Wael, another journalist working in Cairo and whose origins are from Minya Governorate, denies the existence of a trade-off in distributing vaccines, stressing - to Al Jazeera Net - that he received a Sinopharm dose as part of a campaign by the Ministry of Health at the Press Syndicate headquarters in Cairo a few days ago, while his parents - who are simple citizens - received They live in Minya Governorate - AstraZeneca European Vaccine.

Vaccine phobia

The interactions of Egyptians in general on social media platforms towards obtaining the vaccine vary, between not convinced, but forced to take the vaccine due to the requirements of his job or travel, and between seeking to obtain it for fear of infection and convinced of the feasibility of the vaccine.

Abdel Hamid - a teacher from Assiut Governorate and working abroad - obtained the Sinopharma vaccine, and had to obtain a booster dose and pay more fees before his travels, in order to comply with the requirements for traveling abroad, as "the Sinopharma vaccine is not recognized there", according to his description of Al Jazeera Net.

The people of the village of Abshaq, which is affiliated to the Bani Mazar Center in Minya, find a large amount of the Corona virus vaccine lying near a canal


and this is a result that people pay money to not feed and take a certificate that they were vaccinated because they are afraid of vaccination, so the official in charge gets rid of the vaccination in this way and this happened to me pic.twitter .com/RbTg3ndT3F

official moves

In parallel with popular interpretations of the mystery, the Public Prosecution Office of the Bani Mazar Center continues extensive investigations with officials in the Health Directorate and the Health Department in Bani Mazar, in the case of finding 40 cartons containing more than 13,000 ampoules (packages) for the Sinopharm vaccine, which were found lying on both sides of a canal in a village. Abshaq Bani Mazar Center.

Parliamentarian Ahmed Heta, a representative from Minya Governorate, submitted a request for an urgent statement to the Prime Minister and Minister of Health about the incident, calling for a speedy disclosure of its circumstances, while local newspapers reported that the number of vaccines that were found amounted to more than 26,000 vaccine doses.

The Governor of Minya, Major General Osama Al-Qadi, confirmed in press statements that vaccination to prevent the Corona virus is progressing at good rates in more than 50 fixed and mobile centers throughout Minya Governorate.

The Egyptian government says it is trying to speed up vaccination by getting enough doses;

It aims to vaccinate 40% of the population by the end of this year.

A spokesman for the Egyptian Cabinet, Nader Saad, announced recently that the total doses of the vaccine in the country reached about 60 million doses, explaining that this number "exceeds the number of citizens who registered for the vaccine through the website designated for that 7 months ago."

Saad pointed out that the number of people who received two doses of the Corona vaccine in Egypt reached 7 million, while the number of people receiving a single dose reached 13 million in a country with a population of more than 100 million.

The government has retreated from obligating all workers and students to obtain the vaccine as a condition for entering universities, given the difficulties facing large numbers of vaccinations in a short time, while continuing a campaign to raise awareness of the importance of receiving the vaccine.

Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and Minister of Health Hala Zayed recently launched a campaign to encourage citizens to register electronically to receive the Corona vaccine, and to help them in the registration process and speed up receiving the vaccine on the same day, under the slogan "Together we rest assured .. Register now."

And the Egyptian Ministry of Health recorded 831 new infections with the Corona virus and 39 deaths yesterday, Saturday, compared to 811 injuries and 35 deaths the day before yesterday, Friday, bringing the total infections - according to the ministry - to 311 thousand and 576 injuries, including 262 thousand and 654 cases that were cured, and 17 thousand and 658 One death, knowing that the official numbers that are announced about Corona are often skeptical of activists on the communication sites, as they consider that the government has not announced the real numbers since the emergence of the virus.

Media close to the authority anticipate the investigations of the authorities concerned by saying that the matter is behind the "counter-revolution", and that "who perpetrated this crime is malicious and wants to harm the country", because it deprives thousands of citizens of the vaccine at a time when the world is suffering from the crisis of the outbreak of the epidemic and seeking to try to vaccinate the largest number of people in record time.

While media professionals went to explicitly accusing the Muslim Brotherhood of “committing the crime,” the journalist, Muhammad Al-Baz, suggested that the matter was behind him “a Brotherhood employee from sleeper cells in government interests committed it to create a crisis in the country,” an accusation that media close to the authority used to face every crisis that Egypt is going through. Since the army intervened in July 2013 to oust elected president Mohamed Morsi, who was affiliated with the group.

The reactions of social media users to the incident varied, and while tweeters adopted the media account of accusing the "Brotherhood" and the elements of the counter-revolution, tweeters expressed their belief that the issue was behind functional corruption, while others considered the matter a disaster anyway.

First: What is the truth about accusing the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt of throwing 122,000 doses of the #Sinopharma vaccine in the garbage next to the canal in Minya Governorate???


This was my comment on the accusations.


Second: Is it permissible to reuse the vaccine as long as the expiry date is appropriate, https://t.co/YJYrCNtLHU

Be aware of someone who acknowledges your tack.. I


mean by reasoning

like this, Prince of Pyrenees,

Yaluzi.


Will the state represented by the Ministry of Health in the village of Bani Mazar in the governorate of Elmenia throw corona vaccine packages into a garbage dump in order to get rid of them?!


Medicine if we assume for the sake of argument that the packages are corrupt and must be disposed of.

The strangest incident of its kind, a Corona drug lying near a canal in the village of Bashaq belonging to the Bani Mazar Center in Minya. Some countries are standing in queues to get their share of the Corona vaccine and we throw it in the garbage or on the edge of the canal out of a recklessness and irresponsibility.
