A 51-page legal statement prepared by the India Bar Association (IBA) attacked WHO Chief Scientist of India Soumya Swaminathan with 71 counts describing Swaminatan’s evaluation discouraging ivermectin to treat COVID-19 as “extremely unreasonable” and “having another purpose.”
The Association called to invoke articles 302, 304 (paragraph 2), and 88 of the Indian Penal Code regarding murder and other crimes to punish Swaminathan. If Swaminatan is convicted, she may face the death penalty or life imprisonment.
Ivermectin was first developed as a veterinary drug in the 1970s, however since 1988 it has been prescribed for humans to combat various parasitic infections. Was later added to the WHO’s list of essential medications and in 2015 the inventors were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
According to reports from the Indian The Print news network and the independent global health news website Healthpolicy-Watch, the India Bar Association (IBA) submitted the suit on May 25th. The statement accused her of “initiating a false propaganda campaign against ivermectin” and “inducing the public to refuse to use ivermectin” to treat COVID-19.
On May 10th, India’s Health Ministry approved an ivermectin-based COVID treatment regimen, recommending all residents over 18-years-old take 5 ivermectin tablets, and that this can prevent fatal high fever associated with COVID-19.
After the Health Ministry introduced the policy, Swaminatan reiterated the view of the WHO, tweeting: “No matter what kind of medicine is used to treat the disease, safety and effectiveness are very important. Except in clinical trials, the WHO does not recommend the use of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19.”
The India Bar Association wrote in its legal statement: “Your misleading tweet against the use of ivermectin on May 10 this year led to the exclusion of ivermectin from the coronavirus treatment regimen in Tamil Nadu on May 11, despite the fact that this drug was previously a treatment on the drug list.
“The world has gradually realized that you use the ’scientific method’ to describe fabricated facts. This method is absurd, arbitrary, and ridiculous. The WHO claims to be ’omniscient’, but this is like a vain emperor wearing his new clothes, and the whole world only now knows that the emperor is wearing no clothes at all.”
IBA legal team head Dipali Ojha further threatened: “Issuing a legal statement is only the first step, we will continue to move forward.”
Swaminathan deleted the tweet after receiving the legal statement, but on June 5th, the IBA updated their website: “The action of deleting the tweet just proved her maliciousness… Deleting this tweet will not save her and her colleagues. We will support citizens to initiate litigation for her criminal actions.” It is unclear whether the organization has formally filed a lawsuit.
are they selling tickets?
How many American scientists would be left if each could be executed for Wuflu dishonesty?
OFF WITH HER HEAD!
If we gave the government Ivermectin could we get rid of the parasites it supports?
Paging Dr. Fraudxi.
Death penalty for speaking? The insane hysteria is spreading faster than the virus.
Sounds fair
Perhaps the Indians can include him as at least an unindicted conspirator -- as a service to the Humanity?
No, she should be charged for manslaughter or similar, her actions caused the drug not to be used, leading to death of many people. Did she do this for pay from the drug companies?
Biden probably threatened to cut off all of India’s foreign aid if any of their scientists ever went on American TV to say how effective ivermectin is
gotta keep the “only vaccines work, nothing else” narrative going ...
(Question - if the vaccines work, then why do the vaccinated still need to wear masks and isolate?)
I think there are thousands guilty of not providing Ivermectin, etc/ to their patients and giving them wrong treatments at the onset. Many deaths can be attributed to their medical malpractice.
For what? Tweeting the WHO's official policy?
It's not like it's her personal proclamation.
She was just following orders from her bosses at the WHO to withhold a lifesaving treatment.
Anyone with a few ounces of brains could have seen that Ivermectin is quite effective against this virus with hardly any side effect. The only excuse she may have would be plain stupidity and I doubt that it would fly. Most likely she was bought off and that she probably never will admit. If this was the case and can be proven she should hang. The same treatment should be for the ones in this country who so adamantly refuse to make Ivermection available to the public.
(Tony wants to know...)
On a side note Merck is pushing the FDA for approval on a drug it has developed for treating the Covid. Then they can garner their profits. That we had low cost drugs Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin available early on during the crisis pandemic and the political hacks n quacks in high places fought vigorously against their use tell$ u$ all we need to know.
This is not speaking, this crying fire over a harmless drug at worst in a theater, affecting billions of people, a Goebelian racketeering activity
I hope this happens, the evil ones have no fear and they desperately need it.
The first of many I hope. There are literally hundreds that need to be convicted for their crimes against humanity with all of this Covid BS.
