      Another Twitter user posted the same image of Thakur and wrote, "Pragya Thakur who preaches about drinking cow urine to cure corona has been admitted to AIIMS. She has difficulty breathing. Do notice after the campaign of clapping, beating vessels, playing the shunk, now confidence has come from vaccine which means from medicines."
