Editorial, "CORONA REAL, HARMFUL, DON’T NEGLECT!", in LAW ANIMATED WORLD, Vol. 17, Part 2, No. 17, 15 SEPTEMBER 2021 issue

 CORONA REAL, HARMFUL, DON’T NEGLECT!

“All real knowledge comes through direct experience,” this aphoristic saying of the Chinese Chairman Mao Zedong is all the more correct in these Corona times. Affected, ill but recovering, this editor is constrained to pen these lines for the benefit of one and all. The real danger and harm of Corona is the intensification of any existing co-morbidities; and curative medicines are more essential on prescription from qualified, experienced doctors. On the efficacy or real need of vaccines this editor is undecided but in general such rushing of vaccinations and also, at least in India, very insufficient reporting of its adverse consequences that might [and should] have occurred, is a very alarming development. As Stephen Lendman made it clear in his articles in this journal, in general it takes years to test, get peer reviewed and then approve any such vaccines and also once more than 50 or so adverse events directly attributable to vaccination occur, it is generally stopped. In the current scenario the entire process seems to have been abandoned and reversed. But, they say though vaccination per se may not prevent affliction or spread of Corona, it certainly reduces the intensity of the disease when affected. This too is not a thoroughly tested proposition, though. However, there is no doubt that good curative medicines – no medicines generally used for flu, malaria, etc. communicable diseases are per se bad or avoidable, as all depends on the experience, wisdom and judgment of the prescribing qualified medical practitioners and their  hands are not to be barred. To ‘pun’ the famous lines of the great Telugu poet Sri Sri, we may say “kaadeadii cikitsa ku anarham!” [Nothing is ineligible for right treatment]! As such, effective multi-therapeutic treatment and use of immunity booster domestic foods and herbal medicines are always welcome and that’s why this editor in general supported the natural concoctions made by herbal medical practitioner Anandayya (of Nellore district), or advices given by Mallik Engineer, without any compunction. Without taking this or that as the panacea, one has to get tested and get used to treatment by various sorts of domestic, herbal medicines and concoctions even, but always on experienced medical advice. One has to be quite open-minded and also investigative/critical to the extent needed in this regard. Finally, heartily wish all Corona affected people, speedy and best recovery! §§§
