Chapter 283 Vaccination with Vaccinia
Wang Pingan said with a smile: "The method is very simple. Just take the pox juice from cows that have vaccinia and apply it on human wounds. After the onset of the disease, you will never be afraid of smallpox."

He knew that smallpox was a terrible infectious disease. Red herpes would grow all over the body, and the herpes would form pustules, causing general weakness, headache, fever, and chills.

If he survived, he would be immune to smallpox in the future, and if he could not survive, he would die.

And Wang Ping'an's method of using cowpox in pox is a method that has been verified by countless clinical experiments in later generations.

"My lord, shouldn't we inoculate everyone with the pox after we find someone to test it?" Huang Yu said, he was worried that Wang Ping'an's method was too simple, and once the pox was vaccinated, it would not be guaranteed that everyone would be fully recovered.

Wang Pingan's face darkened, and he said, "Doctor Huang, although the imperial envoy knows that you are thinking of the people, you are also questioning the imperial envoy."

Doctor Huang quickly knelt down and said, "Please calm down, my lord. Smallpox is really harmful. I can't guarantee 100% safety. As a doctor, I can't agree with what your lord said."

Wang Pingan did not expect that Huang Yuyi would use safety and the danger of smallpox to suppress himself. He smiled instead of anger: "Okay, if you want to see the evidence, this imperial envoy will show you the evidence."

After he finished speaking, he unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his left arm, and then pointed to the faint acne marks on his arm and said: "This is the evidence. This imperial envoy has received cowpox when he was two years old. Since then, this imperial envoy has not Fear of smallpox."

Doctor Huang looked at the faint pimple mark on Wang Ping'an's left arm, and said excitedly, "Since the adults have been vaccinated before, the villain is willing to set an example and be the first to experiment with vaccinia."

"Whether you agree or not, the imperial envoy has ordered to go down to look for cows with cowpox." He paused, and continued: "Zhao Hao, you send people to Luozhou to look for people who had smallpox before and didn't die. Let these people Go take care of people who have smallpox, don't look at me that way, smallpox is a disease that only happens once in a lifetime, but it's either life or death."

Huang Yuyi wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak. Who made his officials inferior to other people's congresses? Now he can only pray that Wang Ping'an's method will be effective.

Just listen to Wang Pingan continue to say: "Dongxue, you go to arrange, give all the sick people to eat meat and drink chicken soup, doctor Zhang, doctor Huang, the method of this imperial envoy can only prevent, can not really treat the already It is effective for people who have smallpox, so when they have fever and cold, you should use drugs to control them. Although this cannot cure them 100%, it can increase their survival rate."

"promise."

Everyone went to do it, and soon there was no one in the account. Wang Pingan also went to the quarantine area to check with the two imperial doctors Zhang and Huang and all the members of the medical team.

Arriving at the entrance of the isolation area, Wang Pingan saw special forces guarding the entrance, their mouths and noses were covered, as if the masks invented by Wang Pingan were used by Zhao Hao.

"My lord, there is a person suffering from smallpox inside, are you sure you want to enter?" Doctor Huang kindly reminded again, this is his duty as a doctor, and it is also the attitude of his parents as a doctor.

Wang Pingan smiled and said, "Yuyi Huang, the imperial envoy appreciates your kindness, but I still say the same thing. I have been inoculated with cowpox, so I am no longer afraid of smallpox."

After speaking, he walked into the isolation area first, and Doctor Huang sighed and followed.

He saw that Doctor Zhang hadn't said a word so far, so he asked curiously: "Doctor Zhang, why didn't you say a word about Mr. Wang's vaccinia? Do you also think that his The method must be able to prevent smallpox, and people who have been vaccinated will never be afraid of smallpox?"

Doctor Zhang glanced at Doctor Huang and said, "Doctor Huang, do you think this Lord Wang in front of you loves the people like a son? And what he does is for the sake of the people?"

Doctor Huang nodded and said: "That's right, Mr. Wang's current actions are all for the benefit of the people, but this does not mean that his method is feasible."

"Originally, the old man also had doubts, and even wanted to question him, but he had a good point. Is it necessary for him to tell such a lie that can be exposed immediately? In addition, I can't do anything about smallpox. Why don't I use other methods?" As for the method, if it works, smallpox will no longer be a scourge." Doctor Zhang explained.

Doctor Huang sighed when he heard it, and said in his heart: "That's right, you'll know right away if it's successful or not. Since I don't have a better way, I can only let it go? As long as there is a bad sign, I must stand up and stop it." This test."

Wang Pingan ignored the conversation between Zhang and Huang, and walked straight into the isolation area. Tens of thousands were infected with smallpox. The scene was very spectacular. Except for the doctor and a few caregivers, the rest were all patients.

The patients were lying on the ground in disarray, most of them were unconscious, some kept shouting hot, I was hot... some kept shaking and shouting cold, it was so cold... ... What's more, I kept shouting that my head hurts, it hurts me to death...

Wang Pingan saw a young man shouting cold and covered him with a quilt.A cold towel was applied to the old man crying for heat.

He saw macules, pimples, herpes, and even pustules all over their faces.

Those who had just developed spots were still very clear-headed, but a little weak and pale, and they would greet Wang Pingan and the two imperial doctors, Zhang and Huang, when they came in.

People who have developed pimples and herpes have already experienced alternation of cold and heat in their bodies, and even their body temperature continues to rise, leading to coma.

In the most serious cases, pustules have appeared. These people are basically in a coma, and they seem to be dying, but they can recover if they survive.

Wang Pingan observed for a while and said: "Separate the patients who have been sick for more than ten days from other patients. When you find cowpox, first inoculate your doctors and medical staff, then the soldiers, then the patients just now, and finally the outsiders. Other victims. As for the civilian officials in Luozhou City, they will be vaccinated when there is enough pox jelly."

"No." Zhang and Huang, two imperial physicians, responded.

Wang Pingan stayed in the isolation area for a while and said: "The situation here has been roughly understood. Many people may not be able to make it through. When the time comes, the corpses will be cremated and buried on the spot."

"My lord, my lord, the cow has been found, the cow has been found." In the isolation area, someone yelled towards the isolation area.

After hearing this, Wang Pingan ran out quickly and saw Wei Bo staying outside the isolation area with two cows.

After Wei Bo saw Wang Ping'an, he shouted excitedly: "My lord, my lord, we found a cow with cowpox..."

Wang Pingan quickly ran to the two cows, saw the pimples on the cows, and said excitedly: "Okay, good, good! Yes, it is this kind of cow. This imperial envoy will credit you for your credit. In order to thank you, I will plant it for you first." Cowpox."

"Thank you, sir." Wei Bo and the others thanked excitedly.

They didn't doubt Wang Ping'an's words at all. On the contrary, they believed in Wang Ping'an's words very much, or they believed in the words of high-ranking officials in Chang'an Li.

Wang Pingan gave them a chance, and now they are willing to go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire, let alone such a trivial matter as vaccination.

Cotton had not been used in this era, so Wang Pingan could only use feathers instead of cotton to apply vaccinia pulp. feathers to smear the wound.

Seeing that the hundred and ten people were all inoculated with vaccinia, Wang Pingan said excitedly: "Very good, you have all been inoculated with vaccinia, and you will have the same symptoms as smallpox in the next two days, but the symptoms are very mild, and there may be some symptoms." Itching, don’t be afraid that you will fully recover in half a month.”

Hearing Wang Ping'an's words, Wei Bo and others could only wait for the [-] days to pass with peace of mind. In fact, when it came time to inoculate them with vaccinia, they were still very scared, but they could only drive the ducks to the shelves.

Next, under Wang Ping'an's order, half of the members of the medical team and half of the guard team were forcibly vaccinated. Zhao Hao, Dong Xue, Gao Shou, and Doctor Zhang were also vaccinated.

Because the pox pulp of the two cows was limited, only the caregivers got vaccinia.

Among the people who had been vaccinated, some had red papules on the wounds on the second day, and almost all had red rashes on the third day, but their symptoms were not like those of those who contracted smallpox, but Very mild, just a little itchy.

On the fifth day, the red pimples on the wounds turned into herpes, and they began to experience slight dizziness and weakness, but compared with those who had smallpox, they seemed like healthy people.This reassured those who had been vaccinated.

On the eighth day, the herpes turned into pustules, and at this time people had slight chills and fever.Although it was very slight, their hearts were still lifted up.

At the end of the [-]th day, brown scabs formed, and their bodies had returned to health. Except for a scab, their bodies were no different from ordinary people. Not afraid of smallpox.

A few days later, the scabs fell off, revealing acne scars, which were exactly the same as the acne scars on Wang Ping'an's left arm.

Dr. Zhang Yu was ordered to observe the symptoms of himself and other people who had been vaccinated for half a month, and found that almost all of them had the same symptoms, and almost all of them took half a month to shed the scabs to reveal acne scars. It took three days to recover.
