The government of India’s largest state, Uttar Pradesh, with 230 million people (only 5% were vaccinated) decided to aggressively fight COVID-19. This fact further validates the Uttar Pradesh test and treat program and solidifies this as a joint effort by the WHO and CDC. More recently, Ivermectin has been included in the India national COVID-19 guidance due in part to positive outcomes now emerging. Although Uttar Pradesh was only 5% vaccinated to Kerala's 20%, Uttar Pradesh had (only) 22 new COVID cases, while Kerala was overwhelmed with 31,445 in one day. So it became apparent that whatever was contained in those treatment kits must have been pretty effective.
