9th January, 2021: We call upon all Indians to awaken to the threat of the massive vaccine fraud being perpetrated on the Indian people & thus organise Nationwide Protests on the 9th of January in our cities, towns, villages, in our fields & factories, in our schools & colleges.  Today the reality is that people are more scared of taking the vaccines than they are of Covid-19. We thus demand complete transparency on all Covid-19 Vaccine Human Trial Data, so as to build a standard mechanism of “Informed Medical Consent” for Covid Vaccine acceptance, or its outright rejection, as we Indians refuse to be used & abused as experimental lab rats for the Pharmaceutical Corporations. We also condemn the fraudulent & criminal trials conducted upon the people of Bhopal, who were already victims of the Union Carbide Gas Tragedy of 1984. Once again these people are being victimised & used upon in this nefarious and diabolical form of human experimentation. Since there clearly aren’t enough volunteers for these trials, they are entrapping the people from the bastis & slums, with lies & financial inducements. Those part of the Bhopal trials were told that they were being given medicine to prevent Covid-19 infection & were not told that they were part of an experimental clinical trial. Yet the Government sides with the Bill Gates Foundation funded Pharma companies, the same Bill Gates who has a history of indulgence in fraudulent medical activities in India & across the world. The latest news whereby the Covishield (Oxford-AstraZeneca / Serum Institute of India) & Covaxin (Bharat Biotech-ICMR) Covid Vaccines have been cleared without start / completion of 3rd phase of human trial, under the nomenclature of “Clinical Trial Usage Mode” and the “Emergency Usage Authorisation” is very worrying. Hence, when efficacy has not been proven for the latter, how can the DCGI approve this vaccine under Emergency Use Authorization?  Side effects in the safety trials of Oxford/AstraZeneca Vaccine have been systematically covered up and statistical manipulation has been used to portray the vaccines as safe & effective when they aren’t. Severe adverse events like transverse myelitis, partial facial paralysis, anaphylatic reactions, stoppage of the menstrual cycle, and even death have been faced by many vaccine trial volunteers. All these clearances have been given on pretext of an unproven Pandemic and hence under the guise of protecting wider public interest, which itself is utterly bizarre, dangerous and cause for great concern for every Indian citizen. Under which Law, which Executive Order? As for the much used terms, “Emergency Usage Authorisation”, & the “Clinical Trial Usage Mode”, these are both a diabolical mystery. The Government, the Pharma Vaccine manufacturers, the Corporate Media need to tell us, as to under which law, which executive act, is the Vaccine rollout being mandated under these supposed emergency conditions & vague opaque terminologies. Nobody seems to care & the people are not being informed. Vaccines are Safe? Then why no legal accountability and no legal provision of compensation for the Adverse Effect Victims? Worse, even as both Serum Institute of India, Oxford/Astra Zenaca & Bharat Biotech, including Pfizer, Moderna, GlaxoSmithKline & others claim to be totally safe, with now ridiculous pronoucements from 110% to 200%, these are no more than lying desperate claims. Yet, since the Government & the Pharma companies are so confident of the safety of the Vaccines trial results, they must immediately declare that the Pharmaceutical-Vaccine manufacturers will be legally liable & accountable to face the Courts, as well as pay adequate compensation for Vaccine induced & related adverse effects, deaths, damages & injuries.  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?  This was all said on the background that even before the trials are over, more than 5 Crore doses are ready! Ridiculous indeed! So the final vaccine product is already ready & stored, ready to be rolled out and given to hundreds of millions of Indians! These trials worldover are a mere eyewash! As stated by the British Medical Journal (BMJ) – “the mantra of a highly successful trial, is in the trial design itself.” Serum Institute has millions of doses ready since months, thanks to funding given to them by none other than Bill Gates, who is connected with all Covid Vaccine manufacturing companies & institutions the worldover. Gates is their funder and also this so-called Philanthro-Capitalist is the primary influencer of the World Health Organisation (WHO), in capacity as its biggest donor via his numerous medico-health ventures and partners.  Most importantly, Soumya Swaminathan, currently the Chief Scientist at the WHO and ex-Director General at ICMR, has publically stated that there is no evidence that the vaccines will prevent transmission of the virus or infection, an astounding statement indeed!! Hence, any reason to force vaccines on people for the greater good in the name of herd immunity & protecting the elderly and the immune compromised gets completely diluted! Thus any kind of impositions of restrictions on people via health passports/vaccine certificates for people who refuse the vaccine (as has been stated by members from the Health ministry), is unscientific, unconstitutional & entirely fraudulent. The supposed Corona Emergency is long over. It’s been clear from the recent elections held in Bihar, Hyderabad, J&K, to the ongoing massive Farmers protests that the Covid-19 threat is long gone & there is no longer an emergency in our country. We are all being clearly lied to. Thus with no public emergency situation, why the need for Emergency Authorisation Usage, why the rush to unleash these vaccines, which will create health conditions far worse than the Covid situation. With 1.5 lakh deaths out of 135 crores people in India, the mortality rate is mere 0.01% and with 1 crore infections out of a population of 135 Crores, equal to less than 1% – this was never a Pandemic in reality. And to make it […]

18th December 2020: After organising four successful peaceful protests, and two educational public events, Awaken India Movement is hosting a panel of’ Moms Against Mandatory Vaccines’, on Friday 18th December, in Mumbai. The topic of the event is focused on one of the core motivations of the citizen group, ‘towards health freedom and informed medical consent to protect children and families.’ The event will see mothers including Nisha Koiri, Sapna Chhetija, Sunita Singh, Vandana Pawar, retired martial arts and civil defence teacher Ghazala Azad, social workers Varsha Vidya Vilas and Nafisa Colombowama sharing their stories, asking key questions, and offering advice for parents everywhere, based on scientific research, published data and their lived experiences.  In India over a 10 year period 10,612 children have died after government vaccination programmes, around 600,000 adverse effects occur every year. Now, as covid-19 vaccine trials progress rapidly, and pro-vaccination media messaging increases, the BMC too is amplifying their efforts to promote vaccine uptake and acceptance, and combat so-called ‘anti-vaccination’ sentiments. This comes in the wake of multiple medical experts, epidemiologists, doctors, activists and citizens publicly voicing concerns about covid-19 vaccine safety issues and serious adverse events taking place during clinical trials which aren’t being paused. There is a growing chorus of parents and citizens demanding their right to medical freedom and informed consent, insisting that the government must not make vaccination mandatory for Covid-19.  Naturopath & Sales Director Nisha Koiri says, “It is my primary responsibility as a Naturopath to make people aware of the natural healing capacity of our own body, which we humans have primarily forgotten. As Gandhiji said – vaccination is a barbarous practice and it contains filth which in no circumstances should be allowed inside our God-gifted body. Mothers should pay attention because our family is definitely our responsibility, not the government’s.” “I, Sapna Chhetija, am here as a Mother to share my daughters and others’ stories of suffering by vaccines. I appeal to all Mothers to question their pediatricians for all the possible information about the science of vaccines and their ingredients. Ask them if they would take responsibility for the possible adverse effects [of vaccines] on health and life of their children. The future of our children is at stake here. I declare my and my child’s right to health freedom and our bodies. My Family, Our Health, Our Choice, Our Responsibility,” said Sapna Chhetija, member of Awaken India.  Sunita Singh appeals, “I am taking part in this event to create awareness worldwide..I would like to say to all mothers out there – not to believe blindly, and to research on their own for the health of their loved ones. They should pay attention for their own children’s future and to uncover the truth for others as well.” Replying to the Delhi High Court ruling that vaccine adverse effects should be advertised, the Government had replied, it would be difficult to meet vaccine targets if that is done because if adverse effects are known no one would vaccinate. Given the history of the polio vaccine causing paralysis in children in India and in Africa, and the rising cases of cancer and autism in children, mothers from all walks of life have come together to stand for their human right to medical freedom, informed consent, access to transparent infromation and data, and to protect their children as they deem fit. 

3rd December 2020: As the global race for Covid-19 vaccines heats up, citizens worldwide are being told that a vaccine is their best bet in fighting against this ‘deadly pandemic’. Yet, the prospect of rushed, experimental, and potentially mandatory vaccines is raising a lot of questions around vaccine safety, vaccine hesitancy, vaccine side effects and adverse reactions, conflict of interest between pharma and public health authorities and the looming past of swine flu and polio vaccine horrors in India and abroad. Allegations of corruption and bias in medicine, politics and media has polarised this debate extraordinarily, and citizens who are a part of the Awaken India Movement intend to bring these doubts and concerns into an open, public forum, at Marathi Patrakar Sangh, Azad Maidan, CSMT, Mumbai on Friday, 4th December at 2.00pm. News spread this week about the 40-year old Chennai-based volunteer taking part in the Astrazeneca-Serum Institute India vaccine trials who suffered from virtual neurological breakdown and impairment of cognitive functions. The victim and his family has asked for all trials to be halted immediately, drawing on the fact that this information was not properly disclosed to them before they gave consent, concern that this incident did not halt trials like international counterparts, and that the general public must be made aware of what vaccine side effects might be – especially during trials.  Citizens are shocked and appalled at the heavy-handed, non-negotiable and threatening response by SII who have slapped a defamatory charge back on the victim. It raises more questions about how Serious Adverse Events are categorized, diagnosed and reported, something which doctors and researchers have expressed serious doubt about. The WHO’s guidelines make it difficult, if not impossible, to prove causation and illnesses caused due to vaccines.  Further, it is a widely known fact that debates around vaccines are heavily controlled and influenced by pharmaceutical companies via biased media counterparts. The term ‘anti-vaxxer’ has been slapped on anyone raising these questions, such content being purged off social media, and social stigma attached to valid and scientific concerns about such issues. “Let’s also try to understand that the entire medical dialogue is being controlled by the pharma mafia, and with this I hope there is going to be a continuity in this debate” says Saraswati Kavula, Activist & Documentary Filmmaker ‘Decoded.’ The WHO has also asked for ‘flexible labelling of vaccines’ – which means only including the manufacturing date and no expiry date, to speed up distribution. The thought of sacrificing such a crucial and vital aspect of a medical product is not only worrying, it borders on criminal and shows a complete and utter lack of respect for human health and human life.  Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that vaccine manufacturers are exempt from liability in case of any adverse events or side effects from the vaccine. This raises a lot of doubts and decreases public confidence in the push for vaccination. Further, if the vaccines are not safe and a high number of adverse events are expected, why should this cost be borne by the individual taxpayer, especially if vaccines are being made ‘mandatory’ or ‘conditional’ to access services like transport, dining, work etc. In the current scenario of mass hysteria and desperation to return to normality, the public is not able to process this much information and gather to ask the right questions to the authorities.  Members of Awaken India resonate with the global confusion about how a vaccine has been developed in record time, using mRNA technology, a process never used before, for a virus that is still not well understood and is constantly mutating, and that affects different people very differently. Given that the vaccine trials are designed to succeed, what does ‘effectiveness’ of the vaccine candidates even indicate? As far as official reports go – they will not prevent infection, transmission, severe side effects or even death. In many cases, the side effects from taking the vaccine might be worse than what someone would experience if they get covid itself (as majority are asymptomatic or experience it as a mild flu). In that case, is it justified or even sensible to prescribe mass vaccination drives or mandate vaccines to the general public? This has the danger of resulting in discrimination, infringement on right to equality, and exclusion of segments of the population depending on their personal medical choices.  Research and public surveys have demonstrated that individuals have little knowledge of how vaccines work, what ingredients they contain, and what purpose those ingredients serve. There are valid and serious concerns on religious, scientific, moral and other grounds to substances like mercury and aluminium which are toxic in specific quantities, aborted fetal cells which form the basis of most common vaccines, and fetal bovine serum which is procured from slaughtered calves. Given that India is a deeply religious and spiritual country, we believe it is vital to bring this to people’s notice, and give them the option to choose whether or not they want to take a vaccine. Simply stating that such ingredients are in many other medicines and foods does not justify continuing to keep this information from the public eye and positioning it as worrying – that remains a valid action regardless of how widely these ingredients are used in other products.   Past epidemic and vaccine scandals exposed the highly controversial conflicts of interest between the WHO, big pharma companies, organisations like BMGF and GAVI, and public health bodies. Accusations included amplifying public fear, changing the official definition of ‘epidemic’, sterilisation of women, and a push to sell vaccines for financial benefits. These were fanned by the dangerous and very real ties to unauthorised clinical experiments, and historical associations with proponents of eugenics and depopulation. Rather than dismissing these as unwarranted conspiracies, we consider it prudent and imperative that these narratives are spotlighted and investigated at a time as critical as now.  The fact that there is no uproar and condemnation from doctors, hospitals, scientists, epidemiologists, public health […]
