Four-pronged cat
According to Taiwan media reports, Taiwan’s Internet celebrity four-pronged cat has tested its antibody production after being vaccinated with the high-end vaccine at its own expense, which has aroused the attention of the DPP authorities. The inspection confirmed that Hexin may face a fine of 50,000 to 250,000 yuan (NT$, the same below) for violating the regulations. Lin Sihong, CEO of Hexin, said that he sent the approved amount to the Beibei City Government twice, but the Health Bureau had a strange reason to shirk it. Huang Shijie, director of the Health Bureau, responded to the case twice. The Health Bureau said today that the authorities will hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss relevant guidelines.
Huang Shijie said at the press conference on epidemic prevention on the 18th that the " Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases" has not yet been ratified or approved, and the authorities have not clearly indicated which article to be punished according to. Testing for the public for a fee is a violation of the medical law, and a fine of 50,000 to 250,000 yuan will be imposed.
Lin Sihong pointed out on Facebook yesterday that according to Article 21 of the "Physician Law", the local government has the "right to approve" the amount of self-payment, not the "right to approve" the inspection. The Huizhi Medical Laboratory under Hexin is qualified for SARS CoV-2 antibody The inspection unit also uses reagents authorized and approved by the Taiwan FDA EUA. Of course, the inspection can be done, and the list of medical institutions that can perform Covid-19 public-funded antibody testing for Covid-19 is published in the comment section of the article, which proves that Hexin is also on the list.
Lin Sihong said that on June 9, Hexin’s institutions sent the test results at their own expense to the Beishi government for an approved amount, and Huizhi Medical Laboratory also sent the Beishi government an approved amount on July 7, but the health bureau used strange The reason is dodged, "Anyway, the Beishi government wants to fine, that's okay, but whether it can quickly approve the self-financed inspection amount after the fine depends on the wisdom of the Beishi government."
Huang Shijie left a message at the bottom of this article again. At present, among the 117 designated institutions in Beishi , 17 can only accept public-funded projects, such as the epidemic investigation that requires patient antibody testing. I also applied for a self-financed inspection and failed.” I hope that the authorities will discuss the guidelines and open them on September 22, and then the Health Bureau may approve them.
The Health Bureau also stated at the online epidemic prevention press conference today that the Taiwan authorities have no relevant guidelines for self-funded testing. Reagents, methods, standards, and testing time for antibody testing will affect the results of the interpretation. A contingency meeting is expected to be held tomorrow. After discussion, there should be clear results and directions this week, and the Health Bureau will follow suit.
believes that Hexin’s “violation of the law” part, the Health Bureau stated that because Hexin’s antibody test medical fee standard has not been approved by the Health Bureau, this part is suspected of violating the “Medical Law”, Hexin has been asked to submit a written statement before September 24, "If it is found that there is a fact of charging fees in violation of regulations, it will be punished according to law." The Health Bureau also stated that Hexin should explain the facts to the Health Bureau instead of blurring the focus in other ways.
