A four-month study, launched on May 1, will investigate "the role of remote intercessory multi-denominational prayer on clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients.” Dr. Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy is the principal investigator in a clinical trial involving 1000 patients with COVID-19 infections requiring intensive care. Half of the patients, randomly chosen, will receive a "universal" prayer offered in five denominational forms, via Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism. The other 500 patients will constitute the control group.

oh for fuck sake, have they nothing better to do?
