Ayatollah Shirazi and his colleagues would rather see their people die than to see them be cured by an Israeli invention.
“‘Absolutely Fake News:’ Iranian Top Cleric Denies Allowing Use of Israel Vaccine for Coronavirus,” by Benjamin Brown, TPS, March 17, 2020:
Iranian cleric and religious authority Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi has denied approving the purchase of a hypothetical vaccine for the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) if it came from Israel.
Amid the news that Israeli researchers are swiftly progressing on the development of a vaccine, Iranian newspaper Hamdeli last week reported that Shirazi had allowed such a deal “if there is no substitute.”
The Ayatollah’s office has now claimed the interview “never took place” and was to be considered “absolutely fake news.”
93-year-old Shirazi reiterated his, and Iran’s policy, of not doing business with “the Zionists,” with a potential Corona vaccine being no exception.
The potential release of a Coronavirus vaccine by Israeli scientists has spelled out difficult questions for governments and groups calling for the boycott of Israel….
Buraq says
And all the BDS crew should renounce any use of the Israeli vaccine as well!

How fitting that hatred comes back to injure the hater.
mortimer says
What will this ayatollah do when his children and grandchildren become infected? He will find any cure available.
He will become a hypocrite and eat his words … but he may already be used to doing that.

My fantasy is that Israelis invent a vaccine for C-19 and Islamic countries refuse to use it. Not nice but then neither is Islam.

The way moslems lie, people should have no difficulty believing this old camel jockey would gladly use an Israeli vaccine, and then lie about it–or say Allah cured him, it’s what moslems do, as we all know by now. (or should)

Of course not! He’d rather his own people die like flies than owe anything to Jews.
God, I hate Islam.
