Do I need to wear a mask to drink Banlangen?

Don't mess with the rhythm of pharmaceutical company bosses

  ■ Come on

  As the person in charge of a listed pharmaceutical company, you shouldn't say such things that don't even have basic common sense.

  "Wuhan has Huoshen Mountain and Leishen Mountain, and Guangzhou has two mountains, Zhongnan Mountain and Baiyun Mountain. The Banlangen of Baiyun Mountain doesn't need to wear a mask after drinking, so I didn't wear a mask today." Recently, a forum was held in a certain place. In China, a speech by Li Chuyuan, chairman of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group, caused controversy.

  Wearing masks in public is now a consensus for epidemic prevention.

However, the chairman of the pharmaceutical company involved made the unscientific argument that "drinking Banlangen does not need to wear a mask", which inevitably makes people surprised.

  Many netizens said that when they first saw this speech, they thought it was a joke made by the chairman in order to enliven the atmosphere.

But watch the video carefully a few more times. What is this serious look like ridicule and humor?

  This can't help but make people wonder: As the person in charge of a large listed pharmaceutical company, is it really appropriate to say such things without even basic common sense?

When "Banlangen cures all diseases" has become a popular stalk on the Internet, spread the news that "drinking Isatis root without wearing a mask" is not afraid to mislead the public?

  In fact, this is not the first controversial incident surrounding Banlangen since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic.

In October 2020, a piece of news that "Academician Zhong Nanshan's team found that compound Isatis root is effective against the new crown virus in an in vitro study" was circulated on the Internet.

Afterwards, Zhong Nanshan quickly stepped up to clarify, saying that this was taken out of context.

Many professionals have also pointed out that Banlangen has in vitro inhibitory effects and anti-epidemic effects are two different things.

  They have all been denied and clarified by authoritative experts. As the person in charge of a large pharmaceutical company, Li Chuyuan also throws out this fallacy, and he is speaking in public. Is this unobtrusive, or is it because the knowledge structure has not been updated? , Still deliberately creating a wave of momentum, it is obviously worth questioning.

The legal person questioned this, if the statement was not ridiculed, it would have been suspected of false propaganda.

  Putting this sentence in the context of the normalization of epidemic prevention and control is even more outdated.

If someone who eats melons with unknown science sees his identity as the CEO of a pharmaceutical company, believes his statement, believes it in daily life, and does not wear a mask after drinking isatis root, it is tantamount to adding to the chaos of epidemic prevention.

  Nowadays, wearing masks has become a basic operation for the public to prevent epidemics. This is a consensus that people have formed from real life experiences over the past year.

If you easily exaggerate the role of Banlangen and deny the role of masks, it will inevitably undermine the consensus on epidemic prevention that has been formed with great difficulty. To put it more seriously, you are dismantling the "common epidemic prevention" platform.

  Saying such irresponsible words is also irresponsible for the reputation of the company in which you work.

As a listed company, the wind direction and rhythm cannot be chaotically created. If this misleads consumers and brings about the effect of cutting leeks, the consequences will be even more serious.

  "You don't need to wear a mask to drink Banlangen." It's hard to say whether it's a small abacus, but it's a pseudo-science, but there is no doubt.

I hope that relevant people and companies can explain this, and hope that this kind of chaotic rhythm that disrupts epidemic prevention will not happen again.
