Dear Mr. Prime Minister,& f* f: p @8 B
On 16 October 2021, the Quality Service Manager of the Ministry of Health has informed us that
% J+ v6 b" `- _4 c& W" dclinical research on the efficacy of “Lianhua Qingwen Jiaonang 连花清瘟胶囊” will be carried out.
9 y7 P& V1 E; l* K7 {' |" lOur team believes that the relevant clinical trials will take at least 12 months to complete. We are
; t4 A+ c; C8 P9 N; h4 I4 \3 Tsceptical that with a yearlong duration, there could be even more escalating confirmed cases and- J2 {1 h; E' F l
undesirable deaths from COVID-19 and Delta viruses!

measures.
, @/ G! q) L! V& F, w( V. ]6 `1 RIf the government continues to merely adopt modern Western Medicine and does not seek the

might be inhibiting its own efforts and result in a greater price to pay for the general public health# J1 X4 Z l F: P3 \
of our country. This might not be a very wise approach./ |4 T4 C" p& u$ h$ y
In the recent Pandemic, although nearly 85% of our population has been vaccinated with two doses
: x/ m, ~" o: e: tof the vaccine, many new asymptomatic infections have still occurred and the phenomenon has
3 A3 w% u: n# r9 F' C; F" wbecome increasingly serious, which in turn has caused some panic among the people. On hindsight,7 J, f7 C7 c9 `& M# i) o
it can be due to the fact that the relevant authorities have been only adopting the “scientific” method3 q7 E6 B) u$ ^6 X. \ s
of public health and relying on Western Medicine experts to deal with the cause of the Pandemic.
$ I" p8 o; |! K: SThrowback to the SARS in 2003 and the COVID-19 in 2019, China's Traditional Chinese Medicine

We sincerely ask you to re-consider carefully the collective opinions of the joint TCM industry, and. V' J0 C2 n# _) O9 J8 a; {0 @
