It reads, “Do not put hydrogen peroxide into your nebulizer and breathe it in. This is dangerous. It is not a way to prevent nor treat COVID-19.” The doctor further said that the actor should be “fined or put behind bars” for putting public health in danger: “In a rational and scientifically progressive society, this woman will be charged with endangering public health and fined or put behind bars. She needs help or a better advisor in her team.” “Will India’s Health Minry or any health regulatory body do something about these social media health influenzas damaging public health, or will they remain spineless and let people die?” he concluded.
