The posts from Kong Yu and Liu Anquan once again caused quite a stir online.
The landscape of public opinion had become exceptionally complex.
On one hand, thanks to the experts' previous over-the-top promotion of Lianhua Granules, many people had blindly purchased it, only to experience firsthand that it was ineffective.
This made them develop a strong aversion to Lianhua Granules and even traditional Chinese patent medicines as a whole. Consequently, they dismissed any voice defending Chinese medicine as "whitewashing" or the work of "paid shills."
On the other hand, however, a portion of the public who were infected with the H1N1 flu later on had not been swayed by the earlier promotion of Lianhua Granules.
When they went to pharmacies to buy medicine, some of the owners strongly recommended Lianhua Suanzaoren Granules.
After taking the medicine, these patients experienced the miraculous effects of Lianhua Suanzaoren Granules firsthand and made a swift recovery.
