The
Fabunan anti-viral vaccine has been touted as the answer to the novel
coronavirus 2019 disease or COVID-19 that is from the people who have been and
around the province of Zambales where Dr. Fabunan has a clinic.
According
to Presidential Spokesperson Atty. Harry Roque there is no truth to the rumors
that has been going around that President Rodrigo Roa Duterte himself has approved
the use of the Fabunan antiviral injections against the novel coronavirus 2019
disease or COVID-19.
Also,
the Presidential Spokesperson said the Fabunan antiviral vaccine has not even
undergone the standard procedure of
undergoing a clinical studies yet.

“Hindi po totoo
‘yan (That’s not true)!” Roque said over PTV-4 on Saturday (May 30), referring
to the rumors involving the controversial drug.
“Ang nangyari
po, sumulat po sa opisina ko ang isang Atty. Fabunan at finorward ko po ang
letter niya kay DOST (Department of Science and Technology) Secretary
[Fortunato] Dela Peña (What happened was a certain Atty. Fabunan wrote to me
and I forwarded his letter to Secretary Dela Peña),” he added.
Revocation of
Professional license
It
was earlier reported that the Department of Health (DOH) said it will revoke
the professional licenses of those
medical doctors who will sell and inject any COVID-19 patient with the “Fabunan
antiviral vaccine.”
Atty. Roque said
the Fabunan antiviral drug has a cease-and-desist order (CDO) from the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA).
“May cease-and-desist
order ang Fabunan galing sa FDA kasi wala pa pong tinatawag na clinical studies
(The Fabunan drug has a COD from the FDA because the product has not undergone
clinical studies),” he said.
“Importante po kasi na bago maibigay sa publiko
ang kahit anong gamot, kasama na po diyan yung Fabunan, kinakailangan
rehistrado sa FDA (It’s important that before the public gets access to any
drug, including the Fabunan, these must be registered with the FDA),” he
continued.
“Kung hindi po siya approved ng FDA at ng
Department of Health, ‘wag po tayo mag-eksperimento ng mga gamot na hindi naman
po natin alam at wala naman po tayong kasiguraduhan sa kanyang bisa (If it’s
not approved by the FDA and the DOH, let’s not experiment with medicines whose
effectivity we are unsure of),” Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles said last
month.
