Al-Marsad newspaper: A South Korean doctor sparked controversy due to a comment describing it as strange, as the Vice President of the South Korean Vaccine Association, Ma Sang Hyuk, claimed that people who have not been infected with the emerging virus so far most likely do not have friends, and may suffer from personal problems!
He explained in press statements that he was stressing how difficult it is for anyone to avoid the virus in light of a situation in which a high percentage of confirmed cases prevail in the region.
Sang Hyuk wrote his opinion on Facebook last week, but quickly deleted it following the post sparked widespread criticism and was widely circulated, according to “Sky” network, citing Korean newspapers.
The South Korean doctor, Ma Sang-hyuk, wrote on his account: “Adults who have not yet contracted COVID-19 do not have friends and have personal problems.”
After the criticism, the doctor “justified” his comments on Facebook, saying that they had been misunderstood.
