My thread on #CoronaVaccine controversy 👇
1/N- While Covishield developed in India by @SerumInstIndia with a master seed from Oxford-AstraZeneca's, @BharatBiotech developed #COVAXIN derived from a strain of SARS-CoV-2 virus, isolated at NIV, Pune, India.
2/N While Covishield is based on the virus’s genetic instructions for building th spike protein using double-stranded DNA added to adenovirus,COVAXIN is an inactivated vaccine (uses dead virus)
Approval of vaccine,undergoing phase-3 clinical trials, has raised serious questions.
