MEXICO CITY (open) .- Former PRI federal deputy Salvador Cosío Gaona assured that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador uses Mexican children as “guinea pigs” to apply the Cuban Abdala vaccine against covid-19, despite the ” risk warnings “.
In an opinion column published in the digital media SDPNoticias, the Guadalajara notary said that medical specialists from universities in the United States and Mexico rejected the effectiveness of the biological prepared by the Cuban government.
The PRI also warned that the federal government puts three million children between the ages of five and 11 in Mexico at risk and “serious danger”.
“It is totally inadequate because there is not a single study of that vaccine in that age group. How do they know what dose to give them? ”So Gaona quoted Laurie Ann Ximénez-Fyvie, MD of Harvard University.
He also said that Ximénez-Fyvie, head of UNAM’s molecular genetics laboratory, warned that the Cuban Abdala vaccine “doesn’t even have” phase 3 results presented for any age group.
“It is not authorized anywhere in the world except in Cuba, Venezuela, Vietnam and also here in Mexico. It is not certified by the WHO. Not for the EMA. Not even from the FDA, “Ximénez-Fyvie said.
Cosío Gaona also stressed that even the Abdala vaccine against covid-19 does not have the approval for pediatric use by the Federal Commission for the protection of health risks (Cofepris) and therefore “no one knows what kind of reactions it will have in children”.
