Chapter 520: The Official Account Got Hacked

Chapter 520: Chapter 512: The Official Account Got Hacked

The video was originally just a repost on a short-video platform, but it unexpectedly racked up over eight million likes, drawing a huge amount of attention.

People are empathetic.

Leukemia might not be common in everyone’s daily lives, but whenever it’s in the news, people can’t help but feel for those affected.

The things they were most concerned about were its effectiveness and its price.

The official account replied directly: “It’s highly effective. It’s possible the drug itself can help the body maintain its condition for 5-8 years. The price is not expensive: 13 yuan.”

Thirteen yuan?

Everyone thought the official account had made a typo.

They thought 13,000 would have been normal.

So they flooded the comment section with corrections.

“Bro, you made a typo. It’s 13,000, right?”

“Or maybe 130,000?”

“As long as it works, I don’t care how much it costs! I’ll sell everything I own to get my mom treated!”

“SOB… 130,000, that’s way too expensive. Even if it’s more effective than Gleevec, 130,000 for a box of medicine is just too much.”

“130,000? Why don’t you just rob people instead?”

“To the person above, are you nuts? The cost of the drug’s components probably isn’t high, but the R&D costs are. Do you have any idea how long it takes to develop a new drug?”

“Exactly. And there are labor costs and all sorts of other expenses. It’s like you think all this stuff is free.”

“And don’t forget the scalper price for Gleevec was a million!”

In no time, the comment section had over two hundred thousand comments.

The official account replied again: “Dear, it’s not a typo. It’s really thirteen yuan. The developer has waived the patent application and is only charging for the cost of production plus a small margin. However, a full course of treatment requires ten cycles!”

Netizens: “???”

Thirteen yuan?!!

When this news broke, leukemia patients were overjoyed.

Even though it required ten cycles of treatment, spending thirteen yuan a day was a trivially small amount for them.

Even if it only gave them five to eight more years, for these leukemia patients, just being able to live was enough to make them happy.

Five years from now, who knows what could happen?

“SOB… This is a lifesaver!”

“I don’t have leukemia, but my friend was just diagnosed a few days ago. It’s only been a few days, and she’s already lost so much weight. She’s from an ordinary family; her parents work themselves to the bone just to make ends meet. Her family is on the verge of collapsing right now. If my friend could have five more years, there would definitely be hope for her to wait for a bone marrow transplant and save up enough money.”

“My country is so amazing.”

However, a dissonant voice suddenly appeared in the comments.

“Isn’t this for treating dermatitis? And you’re using it to ‘treat’ leukemia? Stop hyping it up.”

“Did the official account get hacked? This is totally impossible, okay?”

“If this is real, I’ll wash my hair while doing a handstand.”

“I’ll livestream myself eating shit.”

“I don’t get why the people above are being so sarcastic, but stuff posted by the official video account isn’t fake. I looked at the ingredient list, too. It’s true that one of the ingredients is a drug for dermatitis, but did you just ignore the eighty-plus other ingredients?”

“Haha, that’s hilarious. They’re just pretending not to see it.”

“This is ridiculous. You think an official account would post fake news?”

“I just took a look, and there are actually a lot of doctors coming out to debunk it. For a moment, I didn’t know who to believe.”

“To the person above, you should obviously believe the poster! This account represents the country!”

“I just looked up the boss of that company. Guess who it is?”

“Who?”

“The boss of the company that made this miracle leukemia drug is Chloe Sinclair!”
