Days before the 70th anniversary of the Korean War, founder of Shincheonji Church and Korean War Veteran, Mr. Man Hee Lee, announced that more than 4,000 church members who recovered from COVID-19 are willing to donate their plasma in an effort to develop a global antibody treatment for the virus.

"As Jesus sacrificed himself with his blood for life, we hope that the blood of our people can bring positive effects on overcoming the current situation," said Mr. Lee.

The monetary worth of the donation is equal to about $83 million, as each of the 4,000 patients plan to donate 500ml. An official from Green Cross Pharma, a leading South Korean biotechnology company said, It is difficult to accelerate developing a medicine for COVID-19 with only 200 recovered patients who expressed their will to donate blood. The massive donation from the recovered patients in the Shincheonji will solve the problem of the lack of blood for research.

As evidenced through today's article, Shincheonji Church is continuing to fully comply with government authorities to help resolve the COVID-19 pandemic in Korea and abroad. Shincheonji Church has published its response to all allegations made during the COVID-19 pandemic:-

“This is our earnest request: please stop the cursing and hatred towards Shincheonji. And we ask some media outlets that are slandering and suppressing Shincheonji using unconfirmed information and fake news to stop immediately.”

A South Korea-based religious group named the Shincheonji Church of Jesus said that over 4,000 members of the church recovered from COVID-19 are willing to donate plasma for developing a new treatment.

The amount of blood will be about $83 billion worth if the 4,000 patients donate 500ml individually, according to the current transaction in the United States. “It is difficult to accelerate developing a medicine for COVID-19 with only 200 recovered patients who expressed their will to donate blood. The massive donation from the recovered patients in the Shincheonji Church will solve the problem of the lack of blood for research,” said an official from Green Cross Pharma, a biopharmaceutical company in South Korea.

For the first quarter of this year, the rapid virus spread hit the church members in Daegu of South Korea, where the early signs of the crisis appeared with the controversy over the massive visitors from China before the infection of church members.
