Doctor Disciplined for Expressing Views on Fighting Pandemic

The Epoch Times
The Epoch Times
Dr. Yu Xiangdong is a hematology specialist in Hubei. He is also a popular blogger in the field. Introduction: Dr. Yu argued that medical treatment only targets the symptoms. What is important is to treat the disease from the root, according to traditional Chinese medicine. Current extreme measures such as placing people on lockdown might not be necessary. As a result, on April 1, he was officially removed as the hospital’s Deputy Chief as disciplinary punishment. - Dr. Yu: I have closed my Weibo account. Reporter: I checked. Did you close it yourself? Or was it done out of pressure? Dr. Yu: I closed it myself, temporarily. It’s not a big deal. I think people could understand it. 02:58 Dr. Yu: There are different views of my comment. I am sure some would gloat over the punishment, and others would be sympathetic. I have seen reactions from both sides. I would rather not talk about it. Dr. Yu: History will judge. 07:21 Reporter: Is your view mainly discussed in that one particular post of yours? Dr. Yu: It was just one of them. I have posted many articles during the pandemic. Many of them have been censored, either deleted or blocked. I was simply talking from a medical point of view. There’s nothing more than that. It’s just from a scholar’s point of view. But it can be incompatible with the present needs. 0841 Reporter: Is it about the Wuhan pneumonia, do you think there’s no need for treatment? 08:46 Dr. Yu: No, that’s not what I meant. Dr. Yu: Medical treatment is what we do. We are treating the symptoms. Zhang Wenhong, the appointed leader of Shanghai medical group in containing the pandemic, also holds this point of view. The only way to get through this is time. You fight the virus with time. If you outlive the virus, you win. That’s exactly his view on the treatment. It’s not about if we should provide the treatment. It’s that we don’t have a weapon against the virus. Right now what we have is treatment to ease the symptoms. Enhancing the level of oxygen in the blood is a treatment. I did not say not to treat the patient. There’s no way I would say that. - Dr. Yu Xiangdong is a hematology specialist in Hubei. He is also a popular blogger in the field. His recent comments on the efficacy of treating the CCP virus by putting citizens under lockdown, quarantine, CT scan, and combining Chinese medicine and Western medicine have been labeled a slandering act that “incites public offense of the state policy in containing the pandemic.” As a result, on April 1, he was officially removed as the hospital’s Deputy Chief as disciplinary punishment. According to Dr. Yu’s post on the strategy in containing the pandemic, he believed the CCP virus is caused by what ancient Chinese medicine had taught: a deviation in the forces that balance the universe. The interview was conducted on April 20 by XinAn Li of the Chinese-language Epoch Times.
