Chapter 469 Peas (Smallpox)
After Li Sanniang wrote a report about cowpox and gave it to Mr. Ke last year, finally, nearly half a year later, Mr. Ke had another fight with Li Sanniang over this matter. We made an appointment at the Flower House.
Li Sanniang, who had just finished her busy day on duty, rushed to Pingkangfang without stopping after her shift.
After sitting down, she quickly poured herself a cup of tea. After slowly drinking the whole cup, Li Sanniang turned her eyes to Mr. Bu.
Mr. Bu took a pamphlet from the stooped servant behind him and handed it to Li Sanniang.
After Li Sanniang took it, she didn't say much and started reading.
This booklet was actually marked on it when Li Sanniang gave Mr. Ke the report on cowpox earlier.
About, if cowpox is found, in addition to observing the milking and grazing herdsmen who are in close contact with the cows, the most important thing is to extract the pox pulp from the cowpox and conduct experiments on humans.
That is to say, in practice, it is necessary to confirm that cowpox is real and effective in preventing smallpox virus.
And this is dangerous.
First, the pox pulp of cowpox should be applied to a healthy human body;
Second, people who survive after getting pimples from cowpox should use the pox pulp of human pox to infect them again. , to see if the pea sores caused by cowpox provide sufficient immunity.
Li Sanniang read the pamphlet carefully under the light. After reading it, Li Sanniang raised her head and looked at Mr. Ke, and asked directly: "Four out of ten people died? This death rate is a bit high."
Putting down the booklet in her hand, Li Sanniang started discussing with Mr. Bu.
“These death row prisoners are the group of people who participated in the Temple Gate rebellion last year. According to what you said, Sanniangzi, this person’s health and physical fitness are crucial for vaccination with cowpox.
Therefore, this batch of death row prisoners are all men and women who were well-fed earlier. It has not yet been tested on those children, so the specific effect is unknown. "
Li Sanniang nodded, expressing understanding.
"Isn't it time to vaccinate people who have been vaccinated with cowpox? "
Mr. Ke shook his head, "The fact that four out of ten people died made me a little nervous, so I came to ask the third lady.
According to what you said earlier, people who have been vaccinated with cowpox will only have a mild reaction and will not be unable to survive. ”
Mr. Ke raised his eyes and looked at Li Sanniang: "But now four people have indeed died."
Li Sanniang frowned slightly and asked: "Logically speaking, there should not be such a high mortality rate.
Among the people you selected, are they really healthy and not sick?
Sir, you should unite with the Imperial Medical Office. After all, there are still no doctors among the bad people. This is not the case with cowpox. The development is not good.
I don’t care if you use this cowpox to exchange for high-ranking officials and rich salaries from saints, or to get some benefits from bad people.
All I care about is that this method is really effective and can be used on millions of people in the Tang Dynasty to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty from suffering from pea sores. "
Mr. Bu smiled.
Li Sanniang was a little scared.
This is because there are 1,800 scheming people smiling at you. People like them , the best one can poison you with a smile.
"I understand what Sanniang said.
Now that I have made something, I am about to go to the saint, so I came to see Sanniang first. "
Li Sanniang nodded, feeling that the high mortality rate was probably because the death row inmates who had received cowpox were not healthy people.
"This mortality rate must be reduced, because of the toxicity of cowpox. It would be better to go lower.
Among the people, many do not have enough to eat, as well as those with pre-existing diseases and young children. These are all problems.
After reporting the matter to the saint, he then joined forces with the Imperial Medical Office. It would take only two months for the matter to be completed.
At that time, how to arrange for people to accept the cowpox will still be a big problem.
However, I am willing to vaccinate the cowpox in public to set an example to the people.
I, Li Mingfang, still have a certain reputation in Chang'an City, so I should be of some use. "Mr. Bu is not surprised that Li Sanniang can say such a thing. After all, Li Sanniang came up with the method herself. Since it was her who suggested it, she is sure that there is no problem.
Mr. Bu nodded, "Let's talk about this later.
Now I just want to explain the recent results to Sanniangzi. "
Li Sanniang thought for a while and said to Mr. Bu: "Sir, if we strangers can work together, the effect will be great.
I thought, let’s not worry about what Ding Mingxuan and the people behind him think. At least they are all people in China and they all want to live well on this land. "
"So? "
"So, I thought, if sir thinks it can be done, when the cowpox is done, you can call them all in my name, and we can discuss and perfect the cowpox together.
A good way to make people accept cowpox in a natural way, so that most people can be vaccinated against cowpox to prevent pea sores.
I know that the adults in the court have more powerful minds, but they are all important figures in their country and the world, and they will not care about millions of people like us strangers.
With different focus, naturally there are different methods. "
Li Sanniang lowered her head and approached Mr. Bu, and said, "Sir, I give it to the saint. Be prepared for both sides. You can link the advantages of our side and the DPRK and China."
This is the best choice for a saint. ”
Mr. Bu was surprised. He didn't expect Li Sanniang to be willing to contact Ding Mingxuan and the others despite her last statement.
Li Sanniang saw the incredulity in Mr. Bu's eyes, and smiled helplessly and explained: "It is true that we are not in conflict with each other.
However, this pea sore is our common enemy. The enemy of the enemy is the friend.
In many cases, interests are the key to distinguishing between us and the enemy.
Sir, there are never eternal enemies.”
Mr. Bu was really surprised this time. He looked at Li Sanniang with a curious look and couldn't help but feel in his heart: "I have underestimated Li Sanniang. Such words came from the mouth of a little female doctor. "
"Sir, although I am just a doctor, I have also gone to school in our place, so don't look down on others."
Mr. Bu suppressed the thought in his heart and turned around. He said to Li Sanniang: "I'd better report this to the sage first before talking about it.
If the sage agrees, I will explain it in detail to Sanniang then."
In this way, the two of them After the meeting ended, Mr. Bu also left the Flower House.
Then Qi Zhidie came in and sat down with a troubled expression on her face, "What's wrong? Looking at you like this, it means something is going on.
What's our relationship? If you have something going on, just say it."
"I won't talk to Sanniangzi.
It still has to do with the building opposite."
Qi Zhidie raised her hand and nodded in the air, with a hint of something on her beautiful face. Share the sadness.
"That Mother Shen from last time? What happened? Doesn't her daughter still want to live?" (Chapter 407-409, Chapter 419 Plot)
"That's not true.
I don’t know if the little girl looked away or was frightened after suffering a crime, but I never heard that she was seeking death.
It was Mother Shen who came to the door again. "
Li Sanniang raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter? Are you seeking medical attention?"
Qi Zhidie nodded slightly, "Yes, I am here to seek medical treatment."
Edward Jenner (Edward Jenner, May 17, 1749 - January 26, 1823), full name Ant. Edward Jenner, a British doctor, medical scientist, and scientist, is famous for his research and promotion of cowpox vaccine to prevent smallpox. He is known as the father of immunology, and he opened the way for future generations of research, prompting Pasteur and Koch to and others are seeking treatments and immunizations for other diseases.
Cowpox vaccination method: inoculate the attenuated smallpox virus into calves, and then take the pox blisters containing the virus to make a live vaccine. After this vaccine is inoculated into the human skin, local acne can be treated Smallpox virus produces immunity.
In May 1980, the 23rd World Health Assembly officially announced that smallpox had been completely eliminated. The smallpox virus no longer existed in nature, and only laboratories in the United States and Russia still preserved samples. --——The above comes from the Internet
