Most countries are making preparations for mass vaccination campaigns to rid themselves of coronavirus, and busy sorting out financial and logistical issues. The UK has already begun inoculating its citizens against COVID-19. The US and India are among the nations planning to do so soon. But, in this land like no other, government politicians are busy promoting untested cures.
Large crowds were recently seen converging on a village in Kegalle, where a herbal syrup described as a cure for COVID-19 was distributed, free of charge. They blatantly violated the health guidelines, which, among other things, prohibit mass gatherings which are fraught with the danger of turning out to be superspreading events. The Health authorities do not seem to care.
