2-deoxy-D-glucose was first suggested by Patanjali (Ramdev Baba) as a possible therapy for mild/moderate COVID, if I remember correctly.

DRDO did systematic trials on it & now DCGI has approved its emergency use.

Will those who ridiculed Ramdev baba apologize now? https://twitter.com/Ash_Rokzz23/status/1391025305679142916">https://twitter.com/Ash_Rokzz...

Or just because Ramdev Baba is a proud Hindu saint, this will not be credited to his company/laboratory?

Will Hindus allow it to happen to one of their saadhus and ayurvedic institutions for being ahead of time on this one?

The credit of this drug is to Acharya Balakrishna, Ramdev Baba and their team at Patanjali in Uttarakhand.

Speak this fact unabashedly. Fact is that Ramdev baba is targeted because he broke into monopoly of Unilever in FMCG. There is a systematic campaign ongoing to malign him.

I do not know how good or bad this drug is. I will trust opinions of my doctor friends who will deploy it on ground and give feedback.

There are many doctors who are giving methylene blue dye as COVID medication.

Question is about credit and disproportionate ridicule of Babaji.

For those interested - this is the research paper published by Acharya Balakrishna et al in March 2020 reporting their data on this molecule. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340332773_Glucose_antimetabolite_2-Deoxy-D-Glucose_and_its_derivative_as_promising_candidates_for_tackling_COVID-19_Insights_derived_from_in_silico_docking_and_molecular_simulations">https://www.researchgate.net/publicati...

They did bioinformatics based in-silico experiments with this molecule and their findings suggested that it will work well against Sars-Cov2
