Getting threats from ‘most powerful:’ Covishield manufacturer Adar Poonawalla on leaving India
Adar Poonawallah
Serum Institute CEO Adar Poonawalla has claimed that he was getting aggressive calls from ‘powerful people’ for the smooth supply of Covishield vaccine against COVID-19 in the country.
The 40-year-old who flew to London few days back has been planning to start COVID-19 vaccine production in abroad.
Poonawalla has alleged that he was facing immense pressure over supply of the Covishield vaccine.
In an interview to The Times, UK, Poonawalla confessed getting phone calls from the ‘most powerful,’ including chief ministers, business tycoons and others, demanding instant supplies of Covishield.
Threats is an understatement. The level of expectation and aggression is really unprecedented. It’s overwhelming. Everyone feels they should get the vaccine. They can’t understand why anyone else should get it before them,” Poonawalla said in the interview.
He further said, They are saying if you don’t give us the vaccine it’s not going to be good. It’s not foul language; it’s the tone. It’s the implication of what they might do if I don’t comply. It’s coming over and basically surrounding the place and not letting us do anything unless we give in to their demands.
I’m staying here (London) an extended time because I don’t want to go back to that situation. Everything falls on my shoulders but I can’t do it alone…I don’t want to be in a situation where you are just trying to do your job, and just because you can’t supply the needs of X, Y or Z you really don’t want to guess what they are going to do, he said.
Poonawalla, in the interview, also indicated that he could expand vaccine manufacturing to countries outside India.
