MC Ky Duyen thinks being investigated by the police is also lucky. |
On March 29, Ky Duyen shared about the incident and the lessons learned in a video. The MC said she took her two children for blood tests and Corona virus tests.
"I found this test very convenient so I provided full information to everyone. Perhaps at that time, the test kit was so new that many people did not understand. They thought that the doctor was a scammer, and I received advertising money. In fact, I just wanted to introduce it to those who were worried like me so they could try it," Ky Duyen said.
Suspecting that an overseas MC was helping a medical facility advertise an unlicensed product, a person called the FBI. This was the first time the police investigated MC Ky Duyen, but she considered it a lucky thing. According to her, thanks to the FBI's involvement and conclusion, she was cleared of all charges.
"The FBI investigated me and the doctor. The FBI continued to talk to the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration). In the end, the FBI concluded that the doctor did nothing wrong. And I also did not receive advertising money from this medical facility. If the protesters did not call the FBI, I would not have had the opportunity to prove myself. If I just said I did not receive money, who would believe? It was God helping me to have an answer for you," the overseas MC emphasized.

Using rapid test kits causes MC Ky Duyen to be opposed. |
Through the incident, Ky Duyen said she did not feel angry, nor did she lose faith in people. She viewed the incident from a positive, optimistic perspective. Ky Duyen believed that those who reported her incident to the FBI probably cared and worried about the community.
She said: "There are still more good people than bad people in this world. With every problem, we have two choices: positive or negative thinking. I think that when we are happy, positive thinking will help us have better health."
The test kit that Ky Duyen used was produced by PCL Inc, a biotechnology company in Korea. The rapid test kit will record the IgG and IgM antibodies that are produced. Each test kit can only test for certain types of antibodies produced from certain antigens. Rapid test kits currently use this antibody detection mechanism to check whether the SARS-CoV-2 virus has entered the body.
According toOrange County RegisterThe FDA said it does not object to the development and distribution of blood tests for Covid-19 by commercial manufacturers, as long as the FDA is notified of the business. At the same time, patients must be informed that the test kits have not been authorized by the FDA.
The FDA said antibody test results should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosing or reporting Covid-19 infection. The rapid test kit that MC Ky Duyen posted on Facebook is for reference only.
