Letter to the Editor
Ramdev’s naïve remark
Baba Ramdev has remarked that allopathy is a stupid science and medicines such as remdesivir, faviflu, and other drugs approved by the Drugs Controller General of India have failed to treat Covid-19 patients is irresponsible.
The Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan has written a letter to Ramdev and said that the statement disrespects the corona warriors and hurts the sentiments of the country. The statement on allopathy can break the morale of healthcare workers and weaken our fight against COVID19.
Allopathic medicines have saved the lives of crores of people and the comment that it is responsible for the death of lakhs is extremely unfortunate. The Indian Medical Association also condemned this statement. Baba Ramdev should withdraw his remark and avoid creating controversy on baseless facts.
