|July 04, 2025
Amid the heating debate over Covid-19 vaccines being linked with sudden deaths, Biocon chief Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw on Thursday noted that the jabs developed in India “followed rigorous protocols and global standards”.

Taking to social media platform X, Mazumdar-Shaw noted that the Covid vaccines, like all others, may cause side effects but are not linked to heart attacks.
“Covid-19 vaccines developed in India were approved under the Emergency Use Authorisation framework, following rigorous protocols aligned with global standards for safety and efficacy,” she posted on X.
Her post was in response to Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah’s comments on “the hasty approval and distribution of the Covid vaccine to the public” likely a reason for the more than 20 heart attack-related deaths seen in the state's Hassan district.
