Exclusive: Iranian Scientist’s Bombshell Revelations on COVID, mRNA, Monsanto, and WHO
Highly reputed and honorable Iranian scientist of medical biotechnology and genetic engineering, Dr. Ali Karami, presents a hard-hitting analysis of the most pressing scientific questions of our time, especially given the tendency of the arrogant imperial powers to use science in immoral ways.
In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Dr. Ali Karami is a Professor of Medical Biotechnology at the Baqiyatollah Medical University in the Islamic Republic of Iran. He also has an academic and professional background dealing with immunology, vaccines, and genetics and is well known for prioritizing the health, well-being, and national security of Iranians and all peoples over the pursuit of profits and unethical uses of technologies.
Dr. Karami was first on my list when it came to subjects to cover after I decided to get back into writing.
Unfortunately, most outlets I went to did not accept to publish the full interview. Some of them had respectable reasons for refusing the story, while others gave insufficient reasons as to why such powerful truths about COVID and mRNA vaccines should not be told. By default, this means they are shielding the oppressors – from Bill Gates to Klaus Schwab to the Pfizer CEO who recently won a Zionist award – from the light of truth which comes from the perspective of a qualified scientist who has the merit to speak on the subjects contained herein.
Islamic resistance media, while we pay our due respects to them as they are far greater than us in terms of repute and history, can sometimes be lacking in the soft war department and it was these rejections that proved that this void needed to be filled, without disrespecting those in the Islamic resistance media community nor trying to compete with them, as we are all on the same team and can’t cover all bases at the same time. Thus, Basira Press was created to fill this void.
Thus, it is the honor of Basira Press to present its debut publication with this exclusive English-language interview with Dr. Ali Karami.
Ali Salaam: Many people, both ordinary and educated, hold the view that science is ideology-free and it’s almost impossible to corrupt it. Are they correct or is today’s science corrupted by ideological biases, money, etc.?
Professor Ali Karami: The term “science” is not only experimental sciences. The general meaning of science means knowledge, such as intellectual, narrative, experimental, moral, mystical, artistic, literary, economic, cultural, etc., but specifically the general term “science” means the experimental sciences; whose method is observation, experience and experimentation, such as physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, electronics, etc., and we mean science in this discussion: experimental sciences.
Religion is the teachings that God has sent to guide mankind through the prophets. These teachings have different dimensions, some of which are related to the afterlife and the unseen, some of which are related to the field of ethics, some of which are related to individual and social tasks, and some of which are related to theories about the world and man and some external events. Islam emphasizes the acquisition of knowledge, thinking and learning the sciences and respect for scientists.
Therefore, science and religion are complementary, not opposite to each other, meaning that each examines a particular aspect of truth, and full knowledge of a truth requires the cooperation of science and religion.
AS: To what extent has Iran adopted the liberal technocrat model of governance found in the US & Europe and what are its pros and cons?
PAK: As mentioned in the Iranian constitution, the Iranian government is based on Islamic values and beliefs, but welcomes all advanced sciences and technologies in various fields to govern, manage the country and meet the needs of the people. In the education system – from elementary to the most advanced – sciences and technologies of the world are taught, researched, and used in universities and research and technical centers. Iran is a country advanced in the new technologies of the world and conforms to the values of Islam and human morality and dignity.
In Iran, we use all human knowledge from all countries of the world, whether West, East, Asia, or Africa, to contribute to the growth, prosperity, comfort, progress, security, health, and justice of the country and the people of Iran, but the effort is to avoid the corrupt Western lifestyle. The goal of the Iranian government is to promote a healthy Iranian and Islamic lifestyle.
AS: Please share with us your assessment of President Raisi in general and specifically your assessment of the new Ministers of Science, Health, and Agriculture under Raisi’s administration.
PAK: The government of Dr. Raisi has just come to power and it is too early to judge because the catastrophes caused by the 8 years of mismanagement of the previous government in the country, which cannot be fixed any time soon.
The country has been handed over to the new government and at least a year or two should be given to make a reasonable judgment.
President Raisi should be shown to be competent or incompetent, and whether he has earned the satisfaction or dissatisfaction of the people, but in the same short period of time his behavior, actions, honesty, popularity, and coordination of the three executive branches of the legislature and judiciary to solve the problems of the people, especially in deprived areas, have been demonstrated. Good measures have been taken to increase vaccination and control the corona pandemic.
The middle managers of the previous government are still in office and will certainly throw stones at the new government to create obstacles.
AS: Iran and China have both said there is a possibility that the US made and/or released COVID-19 on purpose. In 2017, the US legalized altering viruses to make them more lethal. In October of 2019, the Bill Gates Foundation, World Economic Forum, and Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security held a pandemic preparedness conference called Event 201. Would all these things justify being suspicious about COVID-19? What are your thoughts on the debate on whether COVID-19 is a man-made bioweapon or a simple natural phenomena?
PAK: There are three different theories about the origin of the COVID epidemic virus:
- It is natural
- It was accidentally released from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, or a United States military lab
- The virus is man-made and deliberately used against China. The US government blames China and China blames US.
There is some evidence for all three theories, but the US has a previous record of trying to hit China’s fast-growing economy, like the SARS epidemic of 2003. According to the evidence, it was the work of the United States and caused great damage to the Chinese economy.
There is also the very dark history of the US government and military in the development and use of weapons of mass destruction and biological weapons, projects such as Wabnet, the project of isolating coronaviruses of West Asia, and many documents about the genetic manipulation of coronaviruses by the US military is justifies the accusations against the United States.
In this regard, veteran US military experts and veterans of the Vietnam War produced a long documentary article entitled: “Connecting the dots: which is the real origin of the global deadly COVID-19 pandemic, China, Italy or USA?” which provides various documents to show how this virus has been developed in US military laboratories. We should study these documents.
In response to this question, if the United States is the cause of the spread of the virus, then why did it become its first victim?
It should be said that they probably thought that, like SARS 2003, only China and its allies will be harmed and there will never be threat to the US and Europe or a pandemic. They did not know about its rapid respiratory dissemination rate and mutations. Secondly, the Trump administration joked about it and called it the “Chinese Virus,” and did nothing to prevent its spread in the United States and Europe.
China was able to contain the pandemic so quickly, and this time the US fell victim to his own mistakes and gave a bitter lesson to the oppressive rulers of America.
Of course, it is painful to witness that the great and innocent nation of America and hundreds of other countries, as always, fell victim to the oppressors who run the American system, who are the arrogant instigators of war.
AS: Iran currently works with the WHO in near full compliance. Do you believe that the WHO is a trustworthy organization? Should Iran separate from the WHO and instead create its own healthcare model?
PAK: The policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran is constructive and reciprocal interaction in accordance with international law and of course the constitutional and national values and standards and respect for national rights and values.
Therefore, Iran is a member of all important international organizations such as the United Nations, WHO, UNIDO, FAO, UNESCO, etc.
But this is not a reason for Iran to be a subject and slave of these organizations.
Iranian values and laws are accepted, but not otherwise – just as the implementation of the UN 2030 document in Iran was stopped and banned. In the case of WHO, what is in accordance with the values and laws of Iran is accepted, but other than that should not be accepted.
Unfortunately, some managers and academics in Iran are completely subordinate to these organizations. Iranian & Islamic values certainly do not approve of this way of thinking, and they should be replaced by independent, knowledgeable, and committed managers and experts.
AS: What is the current state of the Iranian-made CovIran Barekat vaccine’s ability to be mass produced so that it can be distributed on a much larger scale? What is preventing its mass production?
PAK: Iran has a history of more than 100 years in the production of vaccines and the two vaccine companies, Razi and Pasteur, are the oldest and largest producers of vaccines in the Middle East.
Iran has great scientists in the production of vaccines, so a variety of platforms for children’s vaccines as well as Corona vaccines are produced in Iran. CovIran Barakat vaccine is one of the most successful Corona vaccines, which has been developed from zero to final by Iranian scientists.
It’s with the new technology of producing viral vaccines, and soon with three production lines, that they will be able to produce ten million doses of vaccine and export it abroad.
The scientists of this company are finalizing and validating production lines two and three. You will soon hear very good news. Of course, other Iranian vaccines such as Fakhra, Pasteur, Razi, and Nora will also be licensed and distributed soon.
AS: The mainstream media’s censorship of Dr. Robert Malone, who helped to invent mRNA technology in the Salk Institute, comes as he started to warn the public about the dangers of using mRNA technology in vaccines. What are your thoughts on the adverse & unusual side effects of some of the Western COVID-19 vaccines? Does legitimate mistrust of the US government & medical establishment justify being against all vaccines in general?
PAK: In Iran, fourth generation vaccines (i.e. mRNA vaccines) are not imported nor used.
I started the DNA vaccine project in Iran in 2001, researched gene vaccines for 18 years, and tested them on a variety of laboratory animals. You can see the published articles here:
Even in 2003 I published a book called Introduction to Gene Vaccines (in Persian).
But I never tested it on humans because of safety concerns.
Interestingly, this concern was conveyed to me by Western scientists, because every time I presented my research results at international conferences, one of the many questions Western scientists asked me was whether or not I was concerned about the long-term side effects of gene vaccines. They added, are you not concerned that DNA Vaccine or RNA vaccine could have an integration into the human genome and dangers that would come as a result of it?
It was interesting to me to see how quickly they were producing Coronavirus mRNA vaccines with the huge financial support of the US government and injecting them into large populations without any previous history of testing on human populations.
While inactivated viral vaccine platforms – such as Barakat, Fakhra, Sinofarm, and Baharat – have more than 70 years of use in the world – and even in infants and children and have been shown to have no long-term side effects – or recombinant protein vaccines, such as Pasteur Razi Nora, for more than 30 years. They have a history of use all over the world, such as the hepatitis B vaccine.
So why should we rush to inject new vaccines that have not yet undergone phase 4 clinical trials and are of concern to large populations while there are healthier, lower-risk vaccines?
In my opinion, the US government took advantage of the corona pandemic and the fear of the people, because it wants to always be a pioneer in the life sciences and introduced this kind of completely new and insufficiently evaluated vaccine to the population.
Of course, I very much hope that the American and European nations that have been vaccinated will never suffer from long-term complications of new mRNA vaccines, and this is my wish because all human beings are equal in health and my wish is the health of all peoples and nations of the world, but it seems American statesmen and big companies think more about world profit, fame, influence, and control than the health of nations.
AS: You have expressed support for return to organic agriculture. Some people say “there is no way to feed all 80 million Iranians, let alone 7 billion people, using organic agriculture. We need technology and innovation to feed the world!” How do you respond to these statements?
PAK: I am a biotechnologist and specialist in genetic engineering and molecular biology, who has used my knowledge, experience, research, teaching, lectures and social activities for more than 35 years to promote science and awareness, as well as to promote the health of the people of Iran and all nations of the world.
I have said many times that I am not opposed to GMO technology, but I am a critic of the hasty development of people’s food without full confidence in GM crops’ effects on human health, livestock, the environment, genetic diversity, and the fate of living things and the planet.
It is a big lie that transgenic advocates, especially transgenic seed companies, claim that farms cannot feed the world’s growing population without growing transgenics, because food is now being produced for more than ten billion people worldwide.
For reference:

They are falsifying documents to trade transgenic seeds and carcinogenic herbicides because the seed and food trade is so lucrative. It is even more painful that they are using food tools to control governments and nations.
“Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control people.” – Henry Kissinger
Yes, they are lying because their goal is to control the seeds, to control agriculture, to control food, to control governments/nations, and to ultimately implement the mega-projects of world control and mind control.

Additionally, if you are looking for the truth, then be sure to read this book about how many lies have been told to us: Altered Genes, Twisted Truth (with 1150 References).
AS: Despite the fact that you are a Professor of Genetic Engineering, you do not trust the safety of the application of biotechnology in the way that Monsanto uses it in the food supply with genetically modified organisms (GMO), which you say is unsafe and unethical. Have GMOs lived up to their promises? Should we trust Monsanto with our food given their history of producing chemical weapons for the US & “israeli” militaries? Has the Monsanto model infiltrated Iran’s food industry and academic institutions?
PAK: There are many scientific papers on the harms and dangers of long-term cultivation and consumption of the first generation of transgenic foods. GMO products made with old genetic engineering technologies are harmful for human, animal, environmental, and genetic resources and the planet.
Several developed countries have limited or banned the cultivation or import of GMOs and have forced labeling of the GMO products.
Notorious companies behind these include Monsanto USA, who are the same manufacturers of chemical weapons such as Agent Orange.
Agent Orange is a dangerous herbicide that the US Army dropped millions of liters on the forests of Vietnam to slaughter the Vietnamese freedom fighters by shedding their leaves, and the terrible effect of this substance caused the large numbers of birth defects, which they still suffer from side effects. They are also the maker of other dangerous chemicals and are subject to many scandals as a result of the anger of nations and farmers and consumers.
Monsanto was bought by Bayer and now the company has become a scourge for Monsanto, because in the last few years more than 40,000 complaints have been filed by farmers with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (a type of blood cancer) due to the use of Roundup or glyphosate herbicides. Monsanto’s condemnation of paying more than $2 billion in damages have further embarrassed Monsanto among the world.
But with the rapid development of genetic engineering techniques and the development of more accurate and safer methods such as gene editing instead of the old gene-cloning methods, there is hope that the new generation of transgenic seeds will go through rigorous safety assessment processes and obtain authorization from reputable authorities. Countries can help produce global healthy food.
Several products, such as arctic apples and edible mushrooms, are now being tested experimentally with new gene modification methods without the introduction of a foreign gene, something that has been done in first-generation GMOs.
It seems that food safety and health will play a major role in human life in the future. Biosafety and biosecurity will become more and more important in science and technology specifically in applications of Genetic Engineering.
AS: Why do you support traditional/natural medicine without being against modern medicine? What do you say to the people who say that natural medicine is “fake,” or that “real doctors don’t believe in natural medicine”?
PAK: Islam places great emphasis on the acquisition of knowledge, growth, and development of human beings and attaches special importance to the physical, mental, spiritual, and social health of human beings.
For this reason, in one sentence, the religion of Islam can be considered to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Therefore, health promoters, physicians, and sages have a very high position in the Islamic society. Neither traditional medicine nor modern medicine, which is a continuation and evolution of traditional medicine, should be separated from living a healthy lifestyle.
Each country has its own traditional and indigenous medicine, which has a history of thousands of years. In Iran, great scholars such as Bu Ali Sina (Avicenna), Jorjani, and hundreds of other physicians established the foundation of traditional medicine. With the development of medical science and knowledge, their discoveries helped medicine evolve into its current stages.
Therefore, I believe in using all human knowledge, science, and experience to promote health in society, both traditional and modern medicine, and I believe that the root of medicine is prevention, not treatment.
Unfortunately, there are some professional traders who look at everything from the point of view of profit, materialism, and personal business. They turn medicine, which in its oath is a kind of service to humanity, into a business to earn more money from patients, not wisdom and knowledge to promote health and help patients get the right treatment.
For this reason, medicine has become a huge business and a kind of “disease trade” is going on. The more the disease, the more lucrative the business. Modern and traditional medicine are ignited [in battle]. Fighting between these two schools (traditional and modern) is for the benefit of businessmen, not the health of the people.
For this reason, 8 years ago, I created a foundation called “Healthy Lifestyle in Iran” to promote the health of body, soul, mind, spirituality, and social health to have a healthy Iran, a healthy people, and a healthy environment in order to foster disease prevention, so that people avoid getting sick which then results in huge costs for treatment.
Our foundation has 6 main slogans for health:
- Healthy eating (organic and non-GMO)
- Exercise and mobility
- Adequate sleep
- Reducing stress and anxiety
- Positive thinking
- Prayer
