April 2 (Reuters) - The World Health Organization said on Saturday it has suspended supply through United Nations agencies of COVID-19 vaccine Covaxin, produced by India's Bharat Biotech, to allow the manufacturer to upgrade facilities and address deficiencies found in an inspection.

The WHO asked countries that have received the vaccine to take appropriate actions, according to the statement, but did not specify what the appropriate actions would be.

The WHO said the vaccine is effective and no safety concerns exist, but the suspension of production for export will result in the interruption of Covaxin supply. It said the suspension is in response to the outcomes of WHO post emergency use listing (EUL) inspection conducted from March 14 to 22, and the vaccine maker has indicated its commitment to suspend production of Covaxin for export.

Bharat Biotech did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent outside business hours.

On Friday, the vaccine manufacturer said it was slowing production of Covaxin, as demand was dropping along with a fall in infections and wider immunisation coverage in the country. read more

The WHO said that the company has "committed to comply by addressing the GMP deficiencies and is developing a corrective and preventive action plan, for submission to the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI)and WHO".

Unrelated to this matter, did anyone do a thorough-going deep dive into how any of these vax makers ( whether mRNA or non-mRNA / conventional technology ) were able to whip up these vaccines in no time ?

Things that were rushed during the past two years are just now coming under limelight in full fledged ways. 

Like for example Katherine Eban's investigation into the origins of C19

 

“This Shouldn’t Happen”: Inside the Virus-Hunting Nonprofit at the Center of the Lab-Leak Controversy

Chasing scientific renown, grant dollars, and approval from Dr. Anthony Fauci, Peter Daszak transformed the environmental nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance into a government-funded sponsor of risky, cutting-edge virus research in both the U.S. and Wuhan, China. Drawing on more than 100,000 leaked documents, a V.F. investigation shows how an organization dedicated to preventing the next pandemic found itself suspected of helping start one.

During the early days of covid pandemic, research papers were available on WIV  labs and North Carolina lab. I read several of them.

I used to listen to NPR in my car ride to office. I remember the debates about stopping funding for virus research in 2014-15ish times. Obama stopped funding at that time citing the risks of this research.

Later US researchers leveraged labs elsewhere for gain of function research etc. 

It's still such a made up story that research and pandemic starts at the same place and people made to believe that some body ate soup that caused this mess
