TEHRAN — Iran has returned 820,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines donated by Poland because they were manufactured in the United States, state TV reported Monday.

TV quoted Mohammad Hashemi, an official in the country’s Health Ministry, as saying that Poland donated about a million doses of the British-Swedish AstraZeneca vaccine to Iran.

“But when the vaccines arrived in Iran, we found out that 820,000 doses of them which were imported from Poland were from the United States,” he said.

Hashemi said “after coordination with the Polish ambassador to Iran, it was decided that the vaccines would be returned.”

[PatSeg]

2. Oh, that's mature

What a dumb thing to do.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

3. Hand me the sissors. My nose displeases me.

It's not like they're buying the vaccines, they were donated by a third party.

[Emile]

4. Who started this politicising a deadly pandemic?

TFG

[IronLionZion]

5. Donate them to Africa

or some place that needs it

[Midnight Writer]

6. They still like American dollars, though.

[OldBaldy1701E]

14. BINGO! (n/t)

[Itchinjim]

7. Dumb fucks.

[tymorial]

8. Pathetic

[Pantagruel]

9. Still true...

religion makes you stupid.

[heckles65]

10. Another regime run by religious yahoos.

[bahboo]

11. well...fuck' em then....

feel sorry for the people though...

[EndlessWire]

12. Send them to Africa

I heard they need some. There is no shortage of other people who would appreciate getting that sort of help.

[AZLD4Candidate]

13. You know, if that's what they want to do, it's their country

I hold no ill will. After all of Agent Orange's sabre-rattling and trying to provoke a war, as insane as Iran is, I would be a little iffy on it too.

Our standing the world took a nose dive under Assface Sh*tgibbon, the weapons grade plum.

[former9thward]

17. Iran has hated the U.S. since 1979.

[AZLD4Candidate]

18. I know. After the Shah was deposed.

But, again, if they want to cut off their nose to spite their face, who are we to stop them.

I'm not upset and no one else should be. Consider the source, not the action.

[LiberalFighter]

15. Hopefully the right ones there refuse to get vaccinated.

[DemocraticPatriot]

16. Shades of MAGA...

I suppose they don't want vaccines from "the great Satan" because of the microchips? /s


As an aside, aren't the COVID vaccinations manufactured in the US, as a group (on average) the most effective against COVID?

Oh well...

[oldsoftie]

19. Fine. Go ahead and die. Maybe the terrorists will go first.

Or maybe they'll take that shitty Chinese vaccine
