Several countries have reported several deaths and side effects linked to the Covid-19 vaccination system. At the same time, more and more people are being infected with a new strain of coronavirus that has emerged in the UK.
And now, a lot to social media believe the British tribe, which is more contagious, is the outcome of a Vaccine administered with Covid-19 in the country.
One such tweet says: “Last week England got the # vaccine this week. There seems to be a ‘new strain’. I do not think by chance!”
Another user wrote: “Do not take the vaccine! You can save the United States from the new strain that will make 2021 worse than 2020 and 2022 also. Do not take the vaccine if you want this terrible time in our lives. to continue to go !!! Yes I’m talking to you. Yes you (sic). “
India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) has found that the UK government approved the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine on 2 December 2020 and started the vaccination process on 8 December.

Timeline tells the truth
The UK government approved the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine, called mRNA vaccine BNT162b2, on 2 December 2020.
According to the British government, the vaccination started on 8 December.
The first strain of the new variant was officially found in September 2020, about four months before the first dose of vaccine was administered in the UK.
The new tribe spread to very low levels in the population until mid-November.
What is an mRNA vaccine?
The Pfizer BioNTech vaccine administered by the United Kingdom for Covid-19 is an mRNA vaccine. According to the US National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mRNA vaccines are a new type of vaccine to protect against infectious diseases that contain a ‘live virus’.
To elicit an immune response, many vaccines place an attenuated or inactivated germ in our bodies, but this is not the case in mRNA vaccines. This vaccine can therefore not cause the disease in a vaccinated person.
Instead, they teach our cells how to make a protein that triggers an immune response in our bodies. That immune response produces antibodies, and those antibodies protect us from the real virus.
Expert talk
India Today TV spoke to the Indian Medical Research Council (ICMR), which in collaboration with Bharat Biotech developed India’s native Covid-19 vaccine Covaxin.
According to Dr. Samiran Panda, head of epidemiology and communicable diseases at ICMR, this mutation of the virus was expected. According to scientists, this small change, called drift, does not create a pandemic-like situation.
“It is known that this mutant is transmitted quickly, but that does not mean it is virulent. So I am not really worried as a mutant can not pose any threat to the health of the public,” said Dr Panda .
ICMR is confident that Covaxin will work against the new tensions that are also spreading in India. “If we look at the structure of the mutant and the nature of the protection that Covaxin offers, we can say that our vaccine will work against the new variant of Covid-19,” says Dr. Panda.
According to the news reports, even the American expert on infectious diseases, Dr Anthony Fauci, said that the information obtained from the UK indicates that the vaccines will still block the virus.
Regarding the new strain, Chris Whitty, chief medical officer of the British government, said: “There is no current evidence to suggest that the new strain causes a higher mortality rate or that it affects vaccines and treatments, although urgently work is being done to confirm this. “
Therefore, it can be confirmed that the viral claim that the new mutant of the coronavirus found in the UK is caused by a vaccine is false.
