Chapter 920 Vaccinia Vaccines
"Smallpox is indeed a serious disaster, and tens of thousands of people die from it every year. Especially now that trade activities are more frequent, once the disease breaks out, it will be a terrible thing. The fatality rate of smallpox vaccination is relatively high. If there is The choice, of course, is the vaccinia vaccine. But there is a problem that may affect the promotion of the vaccine.” Chu Yun said.

"What's the problem?" Xiao Xiu'er was puzzled.

"The common people are most concerned about the issue of food, clothing, life and death. Although the mortality rate of the vaccinia law has been reduced to one in hundreds of thousands, our population is too large, and dozens or even hundreds of people will still die due to vaccination. Such a Since then, some people spread rumors, thinking that vaccines are a poison." Chu Yun said.

"Xiuer doesn't understand that if they don't get vaccinated, once they get smallpox, the fatality rate is almost [-]%. Dozens or even hundreds of people died in a short period of time after the vaccine was promoted, but compared with the number of people who die every year, it is almost It can be ignored. And if everyone is vaccinated against smallpox, this disease is likely to disappear in this world, and there may be millions or even tens of millions of people who will benefit from it in the future." Xiao Xiuer said anxiously .

"After all, human beings are not completely rational machines, and have weaknesses in human nature. Ordinary people usually only see short-term benefits, and do not consider long-term benefits. People who have not had smallpox will be lucky to think that they will not get smallpox in the future. There is no need to take the risk of death to get vaccinated, even if the fatality rate of the vaccine is very low, even if it will benefit future generations. Therefore, a doctor cannot rely entirely on reason, but must learn to understand human nature." Chu Yun said.

Xiao Xiu'er frowned slightly after hearing Chu Yun's explanation, what Chu Yun said was very reasonable.Standing at a very high altitude, she naturally felt that the promotion of vaccines was beneficial but harmless.But it will certainly cause panic among the common people.

"Then what should I do..." Xiao Xiu'er didn't want to give up the vaccine plan.

"If you want to promote vaccination, you need to do a good job in the aftermath. Let me handle this matter. First produce the vaccine with a qualified rate, and then formulate a complete aftermath plan. For those who die because of the vaccine, we will treat their families Provide a lot of compensation and suppress the situation." Chu Yun said, "I will select a group of people from the Department of Medicine to develop a new vaccine with you in the near future, and provide funds for clinical trials."

"Xiu'er, thank you, Lord Commander!" Xiao Xiu'er didn't expect that Chu Yun not only supported her idea, but also provided special projects, so she couldn't help feeling grateful.

How difficult it is to find someone who understands you, let alone such an expensive project.

"Europe and America are more seriously threatened by smallpox. If the vaccine can be made and sold to Europe, not only can the cost be recovered, but even profit can be made from it." Chu Yun thought not only about eliminating smallpox, but also how to make up for its cost .

"The military leader is too thoughtful." Xiao Xiu'er pursed her lips and smiled.

She also admires Chu Yun from the bottom of her heart, because Chu Yun knows so many things, even the hospital department and the current hospital were established by Chu Yun.The medical skills here are much more advanced than those in the tribe, which made her obsessed with it, and the medical skills are still improving rapidly, and new medical equipment and drugs are constantly being invented, and the smallpox vaccine is just one of the achievements.

"How do you think the medical department is doing now?" Chu Yun asked about this aspect.

"The Department of Medicine produces books every year, and our first batch of students have already tried to practice medicine here... The medical skills here are quite developed, and the cases of patients dying of wound infection after high-temperature sterilization are less and less. Maybe we can do it in the future." Eliminate most of the diseases." Xiao Xiuer said.

"You are too optimistic. We don't know many things in this world, especially diseases. This is a world of natural selection. When medicine is developing, bacteria and viruses are also evolving. It depends on whose speed is faster." Quick. What we need to do is maximize the survival rate of people as much as possible."

Chu Yun thought that even in his era, human beings could not escape a series of terminal illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and genetic defects. They would not be able to overcome the diseases for at least a few hundred years, and they could only minimize the harm caused by the diseases. .

The modern level of medical treatment has been able to increase the average life expectancy of people to more than 70 years.

"I thought the military master was omnipotent." Xiao Xiu'er looked at Chu Yun, and couldn't help being a little envious of Ella.

"I am omnipotent, I can only see the future." Chu Yun said.

"See the future?" Xiao Xiu'er was a little surprised.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of a fuss.

"I almost forgot..." Xiao Xiuer's cheeks flushed slightly, because she was talking about medical topics with Chu Yun, and she forgot that the thermometer had taken the temperature.

"It's just a slight fever. I'll prescribe a medicine, and it will be fine in two or three days." Xiao Xiu'er looked at Ling'er's tongue coating and throat again, and said.

"It's a good thing to get sick when you are young, and your resistance may be stronger in the future." Chu Yun is not very worried about Ling'er. With the system in place, he won't die so easily.

Xiao Xiu'er personally went to the pharmacy in the backyard to get the medicine from the pharmacist inside, and after packing it, she came back and handed it to Chu Yun.

"Go ahead, I have some things to do when I go back." Chu Yun took the medicine.

"I'll see you off." Xiao Xiu'er said.

"If you need any help, just tell me next time you come to the mansion. Medical skills are related to the national economy and the people's livelihood..." Chu Yun got up and said.

"Xiu'er understands." Xiao Xiu'er sent Chu Yun to the front hall.

In the front hall, Li Jinde, Princess Sophia, and Selina were quite surprised to see Xiao Xiuer sending Chu Yun out.

"My lord!" Li Jinde still guessed which important person had arrived at the hospital, but he didn't expect it to be Chu Yun.

"We met again..." Chu Yun bumped into Princess Sophia and others again.

The last time we met, I took them to the telegraph station.

Princess Sophia saw Chu Yun and then Xiao Xiu'er, and thought of Xiao Xiu'er and Ella in Buzhuang last time, she seemed to think of something, so she asked: "Mr. Chu, this is you Your concubine?"

"That's not true." Chu Yun thought that Princess Sophia was really upright and dared to ask anything.

Xiao Xiu'er couldn't understand the conversation between Chu Yun and Princess Sophia, but when she noticed that the two of them had glanced at her, she knew that they must have discussed something with him, so she couldn't help being curious about the conversation between Chu Yun and them.

"How was the Chinese lecturer I found for you last time?" Chu Yun knew that Princess Sofia and Selina had recently started learning Chinese.
