The regime’s Health Ministry spokesperson announced the mullahs’ engineered Covid-19 numbers on Wednesday as 469 new deaths and 13,843 new cases in the past 24 hours, along with 5832 patients being in ICUs. For the second straight day the latter two stats are the highest such numbers during this pandemic. Furthermore, 2370 of the new cases have been hospitalized.
Minoo Mohraz, a member of the National Covid-19 Task Force, weighed in on the Health Ministry’s use of “effective traditional medicine” in curing Covid-19. “Here they have made people used to home-made medicines and unfortunately this is dangerous. The reason is we do not know what the herbal substance is they are using in their traditional medicine. Those who have launched this process have veered traditional medicine in the wrong direction,” she said on Tuesday. “This traditional medicine that is taught in medicine schools by professionals must be separated from home-made practices. We do not accept these makeshift medical practices. Furthermore, Iran’s experts should do more research on the impact of their medicines and trek forward with the correct methodology,” Mohraz continued, according to the state-run Khabar Fouri website.
