“You don’t need to wear a mask if you drink Banlangen”?How can entrepreneurs speak up

Do you need to wear a mask if you drink Banlangen? Such a ridiculous statement, as long as you have a little understanding of epidemic prevention knowledge, you should not choose to believe it. However, recently, at a financial forum event, Li Chuyuan, chairman of Guangyao Group, a well-known entrepreneur, declared: “You don’t need to wear a mask if you drink Baiyunshan’s Banlangen.” According to Li Chuyuan’s “theory”, “The new crown is about bullying the weak. If your body is strong, it can’t bully you.” As soon as the live video came out, it quickly attracted a lot of criticism on the Internet.

Should I wear a mask after drinking Banlangen? The answer to this question is clear: of course. As the main tool to prevent respiratory infections, masks have irreplaceable blocking effects on the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Although the domestic epidemic is basically under control at this moment, only sporadic imported cases have appeared. However, considering that the global pandemic is not over and the potential risks are difficult to eradicate, wearing masks in public places is still a requirement of the epidemic prevention policy for all citizens . Under such circumstances, it is extremely improper and even extremely dangerous for anyone to rashly claim that ordinary people can “not wear a mask” based on their intentions.

From the end of 2019 to today, the epidemic in China has gone through a process from incubation to epidemic, from epidemic to outbreak, and from the outbreak under control. In this process, China’s performance has steadily ranked in the forefront of other countries in the world. Among them, the most significant contribution is the strict and efficient epidemic prevention and control system. Our achievements in the epidemic are inseparable from the scientific, precise, and prudent epidemic prevention deployment of relevant departments, and the active cooperation of all citizens. Among them, everyone consciously wears masks as a “small matter”, which plays a very important role.

In this case, there is a sudden voice advocating “no need to wear a mask”, and its potential harm should not be underestimated. Those young people who are well-educated, often surf the Internet, and have a strong ability to obtain information are not easy to be misled, but there are still many people with relatively poor discrimination that may be “successful.” Especially under the blessing of Li Chuyuan’s special status, the possibility of some people’s blind faith in authority cannot be ruled out. Therefore, all sectors of the society should also make full use of the correct knowledge of popular science to offset the adverse effects of their wrong statements.

Why did Li Chuyuan publicly publish this kind of nonsense that lacks scientific basis in forum activities that the media is present and the industry is paying attention to? Did he just say it casually? The answer is probably not so simple. In fact, the “magic medicine” that Li Chuyuan called-Baiyunshan Banlangen, is precisely the “fist product” under the Guangyao Group for which he is the “top leader”. In the same event, Li Chuyuan once referred to “Huoshen Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, and Baiyun Mountain” as the “four mountains” in the fight against the epidemic. In his speech, he freely “posted money” for the company he was in charge of, which was full of the meaning of “advertisement” for his own products through the epidemic.

As the “top leader,” Li Chuyuan’s corporate promotion for himself is understandable. However, his performance of his duties must not override public health and epidemic prevention safety in any case. For the benefit of enterprises, it is obviously extremely undesirable to talk about serious issues such as epidemic prevention and control.

For Li Chuyuan, this incident can be said to be an out-and-out “misfortune comes from the mouth.” In this regard, whether it is a medical practitioner with a similar identity to him, or anyone else who has the opportunity to speak up on epidemic prevention-related issues, they should follow the scientific principles of evidence-based medicine, and have a point of evidence to say something, and must not be chaotic. If you are not sure, you can’t just talk for a specific benefit. (China Youth Daily)
