Just read the news that Haffkine Institute, in Mumbai, has been given permission to produce Covaxin. Here's a long thread on something interesting I had read up a while back. We'll start with a gentleman born in Odessa, Ukaraine, in 1860. Under the influence of his professor, Elie Metchnikoff, he developed an interest in unicellular organisms. Debarred from a professorship because he was Jewish, he left Russia and followed his mentor to the newly opened Pasteur Institute. Yep, started by Louis Pasteur.
