ICMR distances itself from BHU Covaxin study, calls it poorly designed

The apex research regulator, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has distanced itself from the study, published by the Banaras Hindu University, on the Covaxin side effects and called it ”poorly designed”.

Banaras Hindu University study said that after one year of vaccination, approximately one-third of the participants of Covaxin have been facing adverse events including stroke, Guillain-Barre syndrome, a neurological disorder and upper respiratory problems.
