Adding in, the Patanjali Founder said that there was absolutely ‘No Hatred towards Allopathy, but Ayurveda should be Respected.’ Ramdev said that even if allopathic medicines are necessary, Yoga plays an important part of the routine too which will together play a huge role in fighting the Covid-19 Virus.
The controversy began after two videos of Ramdev went viral in which he is seen calling allopathy a “stupid science” as lakhs died despite getting allopathic treatment for Covid-19. He also said that 10,000 allopathic doctors had died despite being vaccinated. Seeing this, the IMA raged in anger and clarified that India has lost 753 doctors during the first wave of the pandemic when vaccines weren’t available and 513 so far during the second wave of the pandemic. “None in the first wave could receive the vaccine and the majority who had died in the second wave also could not take their vaccine for various reasons,” the IMA letter said.
IMA also filed a complaint against Ramdev and sent a Rs 1,000 crore defamation notice, and a letter to the Union health minister Dr Harsh Vardhan as well as Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan lashed out at Baba Ramdev for his statements in a letter after which Ramdev issued an apology.
