Most of the complications and deaths caused in Covid-19 patients are actually major adverse effects of the aggressive and non-scientific medications given at the mild stage and not due to the virus itself, according to a new research paper by an Indian trust.

The paper, based on researches published in the world's top medical journals, claims how Paracetamol interferes in the body's natural response to a virus, besides causing critical conditions like Cytokine Storm, inflammation in lungs and coagulation - the major causes of deaths of Covid patients recently.

According to Vivek Sheel Aggarwal, Chairman, Niramaya Research Foundation, a Mumbai-based not-for-profit trust, the prescriptions of Paracetamol and other medicines at the mild stage are totally against scientific evidence. 

No medical literature or researches supports lowering of fever in virus Infections and, on the contrary, every research and trial shows that giving antipyretics will not only increase morbidity but also mortality, the paper said.

He said no human trial has ever been conducted on Paracetamol in virus infections in the past 70 years, whereas the trials on animals failed. 

On the contrary, many worldwide trials have proven that lowered fever in virus infections causes replication of the virus as well as disturbs the homeostasis balance and the immune system, especially the B cells and T cells are not able to make antibodies against the virus. 

He said the use of antipyretics - for reducing fever - post-vaccination is also causing low or no antibodies.
