500 Recovered Congregation Members of Shincheonji Church Donate COVID-19 Blood Plasma

Among the members of the Shincheonji Church, 500 people from Shincheonji Church, who have recovered from COVID-19, are donating blood plasma this week.

The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in cooperation with the Korean Red Cross, set up mobile plasma sites to extract blood plasma from 500 congregation members of Shincheonji who have recovered from COVID-19.

This represents a 200% uptick in plasma donations in South Korea. Before the mass donation, South Korean officials reported that about 170 people's blood plasma were collected nationwide.

In June, 4,000 members of Shincheonji pledged to donate blood plasma. Due to logistical issues, 55 members were able to donate blood plasma before this week.

The 500 members' blood plasma will be procured within the week by using blood donation cars that can extract blood in large quantities. This is thought to be the first round of donations.

Health officials from the Mayo Clinic and U.S. Food and Drug Administration believe that plasma donations may contribute greatly to the treatment of COVID-19 patients as well as contribute to the research and development of novel immunotherapies.

Preliminary results of one trial cited by UpToDate, showed a statistically significant rate of improvement in patients treated with donated plasma compared to those who received standard therapies (91% compared to 68% respectively).

The plasma donated by Shincheonji will be used to make similar treatments after clinical trials.

 

 

 

※ Plasma therapy is a method of extracting plasma from a recovering patient and injecting it into another patient. The recovered patient's plasma contains a large amount of antibodies, which are known to be effective if injected into a critical patient.

The blood treatment is made by enriching and sanctioning small amounts of antibodies and immunoglobulins contained in the blood of a complete healer. This requires a lot of blood. However, it had difficulty developing treatments due to the fact that plasma donors are suitable for blood collection, and the absolute lack of plasma donors.

Meanwhile, 4,000 believers of Shincheonji expressed their intention to donate plasma on the 23rd of last month, raising expectations for the development of the Corona 19 treatment, which is good news for all mankind in the global community suffering from the coronavirus.

I'm proud to be able to deliver this good news about 'Love of Shincheonji' in Korea.

While plasma donation for 500 members of the Sincheonji Daegu Church began on the 13th among the confirmed cases of coronavirus infection in Daegu, a medical team is helping plasma donors write consent forms for research subjects.
