The state-run Hamdeli daily wrote today: “To date, the authorities have dealt with the sixth COVID-19 outbreak has been with ‘denial’, ‘simplification’ and ‘gradual release of the statistics.’ If the actual COVID-19 statistics were unclassified, the depth of the tragedy in the sixth outbreak would become apparent. No independent sources confirm [The state controlled] Coronavirus statistics, and the National Medical Organization has repeatedly stated that the actual statistics are often several times greater than the official statistics. Undoubtedly, if the country had not faced an eight-month delay in global vaccination and the opportunity to purchase credible vaccines from the COVAX vaccine roll-out had not been lost, there would have been hopes for controlling the disease.”
