A doctor called for stopping the Covid-19 vaccination on Thursday, claiming she had found a “weird object” in a person inoculated with the Moderna vaccine.

Earlier, the same doctor claimed that she found an “unidentified organism” in Covid-19 vaccines. Lee Young-mi, an obstetrician-gynecologist who made such claims, also revealed that she was sued by the Korean Medical Association’s Central Ethics Committee.

At a news conference held by the Corona Truth-finding Medical Society in Seoul on Thursday, Lee said she also found questionable floating matters by analyzing the object in a person vaccinated against Covid-19.

“A victim who had experienced a general paralysis after getting a Moderna jab reported the finding of a ‘weird object’ discharged with air bubbles in the water,” Lee said. “The victim preserved the foreign object that was discharged from the body using a packing tape and paper from October to Dec. 15 and submitted it to the Corona Truth-finding Medical Society for investigation.”

Lee went on to say that she used a microsurgical tool to separate the object from the tape and paper and cultured it using physiological saline.

“I found ‘floating substances’ through a microscope examination,” she said.

Another doctor who attended the press conference said that Pfizer’s Covid-19 treatment pill Paxlovid contained a “microchip” and that patients must not take it.

Jeon Gi-yeop, an internal medicine specialist and a member of the society, pointed out that the government had told people to “swallow, not chew, Paxlovid.”

“This is because there is a chance that the oral drug contains a microchip,” he said. “So, people should not take a Covid-19 treatment supplied by the government.”

However, these claims do not have any scientific evidence.

The Paxlovid dosing guidelines state that Paxlovid should be swallowed, not chewed, because the drug was manufactured as a tablet considering the concentration of the drug absorbed by the human body.

Strictly complying with the dosing guidelines is important to prevent overabsorption of the drug.

Lee Hyuk-min, a professor of laboratory medicine at Severance Hospital, said that antiviral drugs should be taken as guided by experts in an interview with YTN.

“These drugs must not be chewed,” he said.

If a patient bites and chews the tablet, the drug can be absorbed too fast, which can be a problem. “That’s why you shouldn’t chew Paxlovid when taking it.”
