What was claimed in the tweet
Congress leader Gaurav Pandhi said the calf serum of cows less than 20 days old is used to make covexin. If so, why didn't the government report it first? Because it could hurt religious feelings.
What the government said
In an RTI reply tweeted by Gaurav, the Modi government admitted that cow calf serum is used in covexin. It is used to make a vaccine by killing a 20-day-old calf and drawing its blood. This is a heinous crime. This information should have come to light first.
Bharat Biotech gave this clarification on the controversy
This claim is constantly being questioned on social media. Amidst all the questions, India Biotech has also clarified. Cow calf serum is used to make the viral vaccine, Bharat Biotech said. It is used for cell growth but is not used in SARS CoV2 virus growth or final formula.
Calf serum is used only to prepare vero cells
A statement issued by the Ministry of Health said that newborn calf serum is used only to prepare and develop taxa cells.Serums of different types of cows and other animals are used for the growth of hero cells around the world. This is a global standard process. But it is only used in the early stages. It is of no use in the final stages of vaccine production. Thus it cannot be considered part of the vaccine.
Calf serum is also used in medicine for polio, rabies and flu
The ministry said calf serum has been used in polio, rabies and flu medicine for decades. Viro cells are often washed with water and chemicals after being developed, the ministry said. This process is also called buffer. These taxonomic cells are then infected with Corona virus for viral growth.
