Statement of Clarification

The International Vaccine Institute (IVI) would like to make clear that Director General Jerome Kim and IVI do NOT endorse or work with CVDchain.

 

Contrary to www.cvdchain.vip, Dr. Jerome Kim is not a member of the CVDchain “Team.” CVDchain has used Director General Jerome Kim’s name and photograph without consent.

 

IVI has filed an official complaint with www.cvdchain.vip domain registrar Chengdu West Dimension Digital Technology Co., Ltd., asking for the removal of Director General Jerome Kim’s name and photograph from the website.

 

IVI encourages the general public to exercise caution and practice due diligence when considering the claims of third-party sources. Director General Jerome Kim and IVI hold no legal responsibility for the claims or transactions of CVDchain. We appreciate your understanding.
