A miraculous syrup is alleged to cure and provide immunity against Covid. “Miraculous” as the formula was supposedly revealed to Dhammika Bandara, a carpenter from Sri Lanka, by divine intervention. As a result, hoping to pocket a vial of the holy syrup, a huge crowd amassed in the small town where the good man lives.
It is possible that this sudden fad was sparked off by the actions, since categorized as extremely regrettable by the Sri-Lankan authorities, of the Health Minister, who drank the so-called miracle syrup herself.
