Former world number one Tennis player Jimmy Connors in a tweet has endorsed the indigenously developed Covid-19 vaccine Covaxin.
Corners in his tweet said, why major news networks like CNN and Fox News only talk about Pfizer- J&J- Moderna vaccines and not Covaxin.
@CNN @FoxNews @US_FDA You always talk about Pfizer- J&J- Moderna vaccines — maybe a nod to #Covaxin – #ocgn – an opportunity to have an option – a choice- allow COVAXIN to get in the game— I’m no Dr.- but the others have had a chance- why not #COVAXIN !!! #Competition #lookitup

Covaxin is an indigenous COVID-19 vaccine developed by Bharat Biotech in collaboration with ICMR, and the National Institute of Virology (NIV). As per Bharat Biotech, the makers of Covaxin, this vaccine has been developed using “Whole-Virion Inactivated Vero Cell-derived platform technology”.
However, this vaccine had to endure smear vaccine not only from vested foreign interests but it also had to endure doubt from some of the political parties that led to vaccine hesitancy.
As of now, 15.59 crores of Covaxin have been administered as of December 31, 2021.
