At this time, Park Jin Hyuk noticed Mao Dayong sitting on the left.
DS Pharmaceuticals is booming right now, and as the general manager, he should be the happiest, but he only occasionally socializes and seems to be lost in his thoughts most of the time.
Park Jin Hyuk noticed something was wrong and asked, "President Mao, what happened? Why do you look so worried?"
"Oh, me?"
"What are you thinking about? Can you tell me?" Park Jin Hyuk asked with a smile.
Mao Dayong hesitated for a moment before saying, "The vaccine...had side effects in Japan..."
"...Side effects?" Park Jin Hyuk put down his knife and fork.
"Because we are still confirming the specific situation, we haven't had time to report to you."
“I don’t mean to blame you, Japan…Have we supplied vaccines to Japan?”
Japan was not included in the list of the first batch of vaccine export countries.
“It hasn’t been officially made available yet.”
“Then why did the side effects occur in Japan?”
Everyone stopped chatting and turned their eyes over here.
Mao Dayong lowered his head, as if thinking about how to answer Park Jin Hyuk's question.
Xuan Yizhu spoke for him, "Let me answer for him."
"President Xuan, do you know about this?"
"I've heard some things."
"President Hyun said he heard about this..." As he said this, Park Jin Hyuk looked at Kim Jun Woo, meaning why didn't you report it to me.
Xuan Yizhu quickly explained: "I also heard it from Director Jin."
"Oh? He told you, but didn't report it to me?"
"Because they couldn't confirm the ins and outs and the authenticity of this matter, Director Jin called and asked me to help verify the situation."
"Is that so?" Park Jin Hyuk looked at Hyun Yi Soo. "What have you heard?"
Xuan Yizhu said: "Japan's private medical research institute believes that the side effects of the DS vaccine are very serious and should be recalled immediately..."
"Seriously?"
"Children under 10 years old, in particular, may experience severe breathing problems or even mental confusion after vaccination."
"Is this an objective fact? Or is it their one-sided opinion?"
Park Jin Hyuk turned his gaze to Mao Dayong; he needed an answer from this medical expert.
Mao Dayong said: "According to feedback from Japan, there have been two such cases where the vaccine was not directly provided by South Korea but was smuggled from the United States. Is it a problem with the vaccine itself? Or is it due to other reasons, such as possible deterioration during transportation? These are still being confirmed."
"Is it possible that in their rush to market, they didn't conduct rigorous clinical trials?"
During the Phase III clinical trial of the vaccine, with the strong support of the government, DS Pharmaceuticals conducted trials on 100,000 subjects, a number that is extremely rare.
The results of the trial were very ideal, with less than 10 participants experiencing side effects, and the symptoms were mild, such as local rashes on the body or ulcers in the mouth.
Therefore, everyone felt a little confused about the news coming from Japan.
Park Jin Hyuk asked, “Is there any way to get a sample of the problematic vaccine?”
"The Japanese side said they couldn't provide it and didn't have any containers to keep the vaccine."
“Can I contact patients who are experiencing side effects?”
"The patient was interviewed by Japanese media but refused to engage with us."
Park Jin Hyuk said, "Why does it feel like a fraud?"
Mao Dayong said: "I also have this feeling. It seems that some extreme right-wing groups are doing this because they are dissatisfied with South Korea's vaccine supply plan. So far, the Japanese government has not expressed any opinions."
“How effective is the vaccine in South Korea?”
"It's basically the same as the results of our clinical trials, with no serious side effects."
"Um……"
Park Jin Hyuk picked up a piece of steak with a fork and put it in his mouth. He chewed and thought deeply.
After a while, he turned to Mao Dayong and said, "Does the second batch of vaccine exports include Japan?"
"Including."
"It can be included, but on the condition that the Japanese government must thoroughly investigate and clarify the strange rumors about vaccines that have emerged in its country."
"yes."

In the evening, at the residence in Pyeongchang-dong, after dinner, Park Jin Hyuk was sitting on the sofa reading documents.
Han Ji-yeon picked up a piece of apple with a fork and handed it to Park Jin-hyuk, signaling him to take a rest.
Then she continued watching TV, which was reporting on the progress of the prosecutor's office's investigation.
[The Procuratorate has confirmed that former Prime Minister Wang Jixiong accepted illegal funds]
[The real protagonist of Jiang Wenzhi's illegal wealth accumulation incident is former Prime Minister Wang Jixiong]
[The Procuratorate confirmed that former Prime Minister Wang Jixiong received 2 billion yuan in funds]
[The Procuratorate has applied to the court for an arrest warrant, and the court will respond tomorrow]
[Two candidates from the XX Party were defeated, and Zheng Qiying's candidate finally won]
"It seems that you were right. Commander Zheng won in the end." Han Ji-yeon said to Park Jin-hyuk.
When Han Ji-yeon first heard this, she was a little skeptical.
"It seems the XX Party has abandoned Wang Jixiong. Why would they do this? Would it bring them greater benefits?"
Park Jin Hyuk nodded, "You're right."
"Could it be... you manipulating it again?"
"How could that be?" Park Jin Hyuk denied.
"I don't want to see you summoned to court one day, understand?"
