It’s not the first time
Baba Ramdev and his Patanjali company
Came out with magical cures
Right from cancer to corona
It’s not the first time
The company has been issued notices
For misleading ad campaigns
25 out of 33 campaigns
Have violated the code
Set by the Advertisement Standard Council of India
The Ayush Ministry has pulled up the company
Demanding study trials and results
The research subjects conveniently included
People in the 30-35 range
With mild symptoms or in some cases even asymptomatic
“Who just happened to be infected”
It’s shady beyond doubt
And Patanjali sure has a lot of explaining to do
But till the a vaccine is approved by a credible organisation
It’s best not to fall for traps
Because as the traffic rules have been saying
It’s better to be late than sorry.
