Chapter 819 Time Miao
Changsheng County Military Hospital.

Physician Chen Shigong handed over the last white lacquered wooden box to the young doctor, shook his head and said, "It's gone, there are only so many ripe seedlings, and later, we will use the seedlings."

The so-called ripe seedlings are the pox pulp taken out in the past. After being properly placed, the harm of the germs will be reduced. When it is used, it will be transmitted to people, and the disease will lose its chance of killing. It will make the vaccinated people safer and effectively reduce the chance of failure.

Shimiao is to take pox paste from smallpox patients and dilute it to make Shimiao, which is highly toxic and has a relatively high chance of failure.

After a lot of use and appropriate experiments, people have summed up most of the selection, production and use methods of the smallpox vaccine in the past few years. The Beiyang Medical Academy in Tianjin has been able to guarantee less than half of the vaccination failures.

In Changsheng County, there is a lack of updated medical knowledge, but the doctors are professional enough to reduce the failure rate to about [-]% if they inoculate with suitable mature vaccines.

But when it comes to seedlings, they are only [-]% sure.

There are only two possibilities for the failure of vaccination. One is that the vaccine is not enough to cause smallpox. This kind of situation mostly occurs in adults in Ming Dynasty. In Ming Dynasty, smallpox mainly occurs in children.

Since the early Eastern Han Dynasty, General Fubo Ma Yuan went to southern Xinjiang to calm the chaos and returned to bring Lupu back. The smallpox that has been raging for thousands of years has caused some antibodies in people's bodies. Usually only children with weak resistance will suffer from smallpox.

However, once an adult is infected, the virus overcomes the antibody and becomes stronger, infecting more people and forming a plague.

The generation of aborigines has very few antibodies, and their failure to vaccinate will only be the second possibility-really contracting smallpox.

Macroscopically, the probability is half or [-]%, but microscopically, if a hundred people are vaccinated, five or ten people will actually contract smallpox, and one to three of them will die of smallpox.

And when the seedlings are used, the failure rate is higher, and more people will die because of it.

Chen Shigong said: "Tell the commander, compared with Shi Miao, the county has not yet had an epidemic. First, the patients should be sent to a place with a blockade, far away from the city, and treated by a doctor - Shi Miao is not available, and the people in the county should wait for Miao to mature." Use it again, otherwise there will be too many dead people and the people's sentiments will boil."

The young doctor nodded and said: "The commander-in-chief has already done it. It is called isolation. The isolation area is arranged in the mountain depression next to the official road in the north of the county. The chiefs of the villages will lead the people to check the pox traces strictly. Anyone who is sick must be sent to the isolation area for treatment. , the clothes, utensils, furniture and even the house that they have touched will be burned, leaving nothing behind."

"But it's not enough. Another vaccination area in the south of the county needs to vaccinate nearly [-] tribal leaders and followers. There are not enough mature vaccines. It is too late to transfer vaccines from Zhuangyuanqiao and Majiagang, so we can only use mature vaccines."

The first-class doctor frowned: "When the vaccine is vaccinated, five or six people will die from a hundred people. Why do we have to vaccinate?"

In fact, Chen Mu had no choice but to find vaccines at random. The patients were required to have a suitable condition, and the acne on their bodies had a good shape. The vaccines could be obtained at the most suitable time, and then appropriate surgical methods could be used to vaccinate.

Children can smear Shimiao on their clothes and wear them for three days, and they will get sick naturally, but adults usually need a little surgery.

The problem in Changsheng County is that when the ripe seedlings are used up, people see them using the ripe seedlings in a small area. The aboriginal shamans think that they can just find a pimple and cut it and insert it into a healthy person to prevent it. Vaccinations are not uncommon.

Some healthy people contracted smallpox due to private inoculation, and some did not suffer from smallpox but contracted other surgical diseases, such as very severe inflammation and suppuration, and the worst case was amputation.

Because there are so many beans here.

Chen Mu didn't even know how to spread rumors, not to mention the difficulty of standardizing the production of seedlings. In fact, if they casually used bad seedlings to vaccinate, it would be a good thing for those who were vaccinated privately—after all, Beiyang The ships of the first and second phases are equipped with many medicines for the treatment of smallpox, such as cohosh, honey, and wine, which have inhibitory functions.

However, because of the fear of smallpox, the ignorant local people have almost carried forward their boldness to the extreme, not limited to smallpox, acne, mung beans, peas, cowpeas, kidney beans, red beans, kidney beans, frame beans, lentils, beans, but all beans , they can stab each other.

In Changsheng County, a shaman stabbed the pea, stuffed the pea into the open wound, and then sewed the wound up like a doctor in the Ming Dynasty.

It's strange that nothing happened. The coast of Changsheng County is the hottest. The wounds of the Beiyang Banner Army who died in battle died of inflammation after the war, compared with those who were killed by muskets on the spot.

What's more, fearing that the vaccination would fail and die, he drew a small cross on his arms and legs and lied about having had the vaccination to avoid vaccination.

The point is that even if he was lucky enough not to die from inflammation of the wound after planting, and he still has scars from vaccination, he has never actually had smallpox, and he will still get sick sooner or later if he is a little careless.

It is precisely because of this that Changsheng County isolates the patients while searching for those who vaccinate without permission. On the other hand, it divides the county into sections according to the residences of the people, and starts vaccinating one by one, and most of the production has stopped because of this.

Vaccination is not a simple matter. For those who are lucky, the acne may scab in ten days and pass away; but for those who are unlucky, various complications will appear, and it may take a month or two to heal. Those who were extremely unlucky did not make it through and died due to complications during the process.

Changsheng County can only adopt the method of compulsory vaccination, even if it is a vaccine, it must be given.

But Chen Gongshi didn't know about this situation. His duty was more to research than to go out and vaccinate the people.

The young doctor couldn't make any sense, he knew even less, so he had to say what he knew, and said: "The commander-in-chief has already spoken, he died of smallpox due to vaccination, the child was raised by the Dongyang Army until he was 16 years old, and the old man took care of him until he passed away. There are still strong laborers in the family who are given half of the ration—regardless of whether the probability of failure is half, [-], or [-]%, whether one or three of the hundred people who die because of this will die, they must be planted.”

"And the tribal leaders agreed."

The doctor thought that he had been vaccinated against smallpox a year before he was preparing for a long voyage from Beiyang. Just died.

He complained: "One sentence above, the next will be done, and no one can do anything about it."

This was originally a complaint, but Chen Shigong was convinced by this complaint: "We are looking at ourselves, and the commander is looking at everyone. Can you imagine what would happen if we went to sea without vaccination? At that time, Beiyang would only die. Dozens of people."

"If these 10,000+ people don't plant, tens of thousands of people will die here."

The first-class doctor shook his head, and his eyes gradually became firm: "Send the military medical team to the quarantine area to collect seasonal seedlings and plant them!"
