Patanjali’s rush to announce ‘evidence-based’ Coronil medicine for Covid immunity, and that too in the presence of two Union ministers, and WHO’s subsequent clarification that it has not reviewed or certified its efficacy is unseemly. This exchange is not only a needless distraction, but also gives Ayurveda a bad name.
