Pakistan adds up another 22 cases to its Covid tally

During the last 24 hours , 4,498 tests were conducted throughout Pakistan whereas the positivity ratio stood at 0.49 percent. The number of patients in critical care stood at 12.The World Health Organization has championed the need for out-of-the-box thinking on vaccine production and supplies to protect the world.

The Medicago technology was also widely seen as having great potential for creating both vaccines and antibody treatments for other conditions, including cancers, arthritis and multiple sclerosis. But the plants used in production are a cousin of the tobacco plant and were supplied by tobacco giant Phillip Morris, which was a minority shareholder.

“It's well known the WHO and the UN have a very strict policy regarding engagement with the tobacco and arms industry, so the process is put on hold. It's very likely it won’t be accepted for emergency use listing," Mariangela Simao, a spokesperson for the WHO, said in a statement to CTV News Montreal at the time.Without WHO’s endorsement, few governments were willing to buy the vaccine.

In a follow-up email to CTV News, Dr. Lee added, “I think the WHO decision not to endorse the vaccine likely crippled the ability of Medicago to secure the kind of large contracts needed for this product to be a success.” Sweanor agrees, saying, “There's got to be a basis for why you oppose the company's cigarette companies, a very strong basis to get mad at them, regulate them, … But if they do something that is actually good, why would we oppose that?

Maharaj also disagrees with the WHO’s decision to refuse to endorse the vaccine, noting the potential wider impact of the decision, beyond the pandemic. Canadian health groups, including the Quebec Coalition for Tobacco Control and Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada, urged Ottawa, the province of Quebec and Medicago itself to replace Philip Morris as a stakeholder due to its tobacco business. The company cut ties with the tobacco maker late in 2022, but by then its fate was sealed.
