In a video released on social media, Ramdev had said that medicines like Remdesivir, Fabiflu, and other DCGA approved drugs had failed to treat Covid-19 patients, while also claiming that lakhs of patients died due to allopathic medicines rather than a shortage of oxygen, which was a shocking crisis not so long ago.
