I really don't want to be a doctor

Chapter 326 US Withdrawal

Half an hour later, Jing Xiaoran appeared in the report hall on the first floor on time.

This plenary meeting is a collective meeting of all members of the temporary laboratory, that is to say, it includes all medical teams from countries or organizations that came to support Africa.

Jing Xiaoran found the area of ​​the Huaxia Medical Team, found a seat behind Xia Jilin and sat down.

As for Jeffrey, it seems that he is looking for his junior in the American laboratory, and Jing Xiaoran has not seen him in the Huaxia laboratory for several days.

And on the rostrum in the hall, there was a whole row of people, about ten or so.

Judging by the appearance and dress of these people, they should come from various countries and regions.

Principal Xu Li was also sitting on the rostrum. He was sitting slightly to the right of the center, and was lowering his head to communicate with a blond foreigner next to him.

"Jing!" For some reason, Jeffrey suddenly came to Jing Xiaoran's side.

"Jeffrey, what have you been doing these days?" Jing Xiaoran whispered helplessly, "I heard from Teacher Zhang Xiaomao that you haven't been in the laboratory these days."

Jeffrey showed a bright smile and said, "Jing, didn't I tell you that I went to find my junior sister at the US National Laboratory, and she brought Guinea to Africa this time on behalf of the US International Rescue!"

"It takes three days to find a junior sister? What's more, she seems to be in the temporary laboratory, can't you just go upstairs and see her?" Jing Xiaoran smiled, "Isn't she a junior sister?"

Jeffrey blushed, and quickly changed the topic: "Jing, let's not talk about this for now. Do you know why the meeting is held today?"

Jing Xiaoran shook his head: "How do I know, it might be some breakthrough in vaccine research?"

"No." Jeffrey said mysteriously, "Look at the rostrum, do you think there is something wrong with the people sitting there?"

Jing Xiaoran looked up at the rostrum, frowning slightly.

Except for Xu Li, he didn't know these people, even if there was something wrong, he wouldn't be able to see it!
"There are no members of the American International Rescue Team." Xia Jilin, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly turned around and said.

It turned out that she also heard the conversation between Jing Xiaoran and Jeffrey.

Jing Xiaoran glanced at Xia Jilin, then turned to look at the rostrum in front of the hall.

There is a row of seats on the rostrum, and there is an identity plate in front of each seat, on which is written in English the country or region that each person comes from.

"There is really no leader of the US National Rescue Team." Jing Xiaoran looked around the entire rostrum, and did not see any members from the US National Rescue Team.

You know, the United States should be placed in the most prominent position for this kind of consultation in normal times!
"They left this morning!" Jeffrey said.

"Gone?" Xia Jilin asked in surprise, "Where are you going? You left the temporary laboratory?"

"Well, they are going to evacuate the R&D personnel, leaving the clinical medical team to work on the front line." Jeffrey said slowly, "My junior sister has left the laboratory this morning and is going back to the United States."

The United States is withdrawing from the temporary laboratory?
As the United States with the highest level of research and development, if it chooses to withdraw from the temporary laboratory, it will definitely be a devastating blow to the development of combined vaccines.

Although the United States likes to be alone and doesn't take others seriously, they are at the top level.Once withdrawn, the research and development progress of the combination vaccine will slow down.

"Jeffrey, the U.S. wants to conduct research and development independently? Shouldn't it be with the WHO?" Jing Xiaoran said.

Jeffrey didn't answer right away. He looked around and whispered, "No, the United States has decided not to do Ebola virus research."

"Don't do it?" Jing Xiaoran was a little surprised.

"Yes." Jeffrey nodded, "My junior sister said that the United States has initially calculated the cost of research and development, and found that the investment is probably billions of dollars. The most important thing is that although the Ebola virus is in other countries and regions There are a certain number of cases, but they are mainly in the Guinea region of Africa, so the economic benefit of developing this vaccine is very low. You can’t expect Guinea to spend a lot of money to buy vaccines? They are already poor enough.”

The United States is a qualified businessman. If they don't have enough money and interests, or if they have to pay a high price, they will choose to stop.

Jing Xiaoran sighed, and said: "After all, human life is worthless! Capitalists only value their own pockets full of dissatisfaction!"

……

The plenary session begins.

First, the chairman of the WHO started his speech, and the whole speech was in English.

The main content of the speech, first of all, expressed regret for "the withdrawal of the United States", and then introduced the progress of the joint vaccine research and development.

Jing Xiaoran listened carefully to the chairman's speech, and learned that the research and development of international vaccines is still in its infancy, and the current vaccine preparation methods still use more traditional live attenuated vaccines and inactivated vaccines.

"I hope that the leaders of medical teams from various countries can set an example. Although the United States has withdrawn, the challenges we face next will be more severe." The chairman of the WHO said, "A few days ago, the medical team located near Conakry, the capital of Guinea, A cluster of epidemics occurred in a small village. At this critical time, I hope that all countries can unite and tide over the difficulties together."

The next process is to redistribute the tasks of vaccine research and development among countries. During this period, Xu Li, the leader of the Huaxia Medical Team, also gave a brief speech.

The irresponsible withdrawal of the United States has made the development of the Ebola vaccine several times more difficult.

The meeting ended quickly, and everyone returned to their respective laboratories.

Jeffrey followed Jing Xiaoran back to his independent laboratory.

"Why are you following me?" Jing Xiaoran asked curiously, "Aren't you going to the teacher Zhang Xiaomao next door?"

Without saying a word, Jeffrey locked the door of the laboratory and drew the curtains.

Jing Xiaoran was startled, didn't Jeffrey go to his junior sister just now?

"Jing, I have something good to show you!" Jeffrey suddenly came to Jing Xiaoran's side, and took out a USB flash drive from nowhere.

"This is..." Jing Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time his face was full of doubts.

"Before my junior sister left, she gave me a piece of information about the development of the Ebola virus!" Jeffrey laughed, "The internal information of their American medical team."

Jing Xiaoran's complexion changed slightly, and his voice sounded a little louder, "How could she give you this kind of thing?"

"Hey." Jeffrey scratched his head, but didn't speak.

But Jing Xiaoran can also guess, this is not a junior sister, it must be a pair of old friends applauding for love!

However, things from the United States are not so easy to get!
