According to the news agency PTI, doctors, scientists and officials in the task force last week decided that Convalescent Plasma Therapy would be excluded from the guidelines for the treatment of corona. The previous guidelines called for plasma therapy in the care of severely infected people.
Several scientists wrote letters to Vijay Raghavan, the chief scientific adviser. They warned that irrational and unscientific methods were being used. IASMR chief researcher Balram Varghese and AIIMS director Randeep Guleria claimed that plasma therapy was inactivating the body’s antibodies. As a result, the patient loses his immunity.
Experts have also expressed concern about steroids. According to them, steroid abuse is destroying the body’s immune system. The result is the death of a healthy patient.
