I just realised that a RAT test is not the same as Antibody test. Placed an order for two kits of Coviself RAT test kit with my pharmacist thinking i will be able to check for antibodies using the antigen test kit. Will buy the kits anyway.

Right there in the name, bro. 

 

Antigen = Something which GENerates ANTIbodies

Your reply confuses me even more. Can a RAT be used to check for antibodies from vaccination?

No. It tests antigen i e virus proteins, which eventually cause production of antibodies inside the body.

Andhra Pradesh to send Nellore ayurveda practitioner’s ‘Covid drug’ to ICMR for efficacy test

 

Quote

The government has decided to send the ayurvedic medicine, which is rumoured to be a miracle cure for Covid-19, to the ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) for a detailed study of its efficacy. The government has also decided to send a team of medical experts including Ayurveda doctors to Nellore to examine the formulation of the medicine,’’ the official added.

I don't trust ayurveda much though it's better 

than homeopathy. If this works and efficacy is proven, we might have a good solution on our hands. But 95% sure this will be another quackery.

Whole lot of fire going on between the experts because of the travel restrictions related to the vaccines.

US un-restricted travel is only for those who have received a vaccine which has been approved by US, EU or WHO Geneva.

In our case, that's only Covidshield approved by WHO Geneva.

Bharat Biotech and DRL have literally been promoting Covaxin and Sputnik but they haven't been providing responses to the questions and clarifications asked by WHO.

I am not sure why is that the case, they filed approval papers long ago and have chosen to just let it simmer. Crony decisions literally putting Indians to suffer.

It looks like quackery.
No Ayurvedic medicines are taken in the eyes, except Gulabjal. And these guys give it to severe patients.

 

But their orally given meds are Giloy + Neem, which is of course the regular cure for Asthma, Pneumonia and Malaria. would work in moderate cases.

Truth is there is miracle cure in any branch of medicines, people get cured, ppl die.


There is no miracle cure for corona. No one should be allowed to advertise their drugs/herbs. At the same time, no one should be allowed to instil any kind of hesitancy.

He genuinely misses the forum. @CarbonCore kuch kar de bro. Mere ko ban kar de as a sacrificial lamb. Hate to see anyone go through the pain of being cast out (not defending his past)
