The Peasant Girl's Glory

Shen Furong saw everyone's demoralization and changed her words: "Heal others first, heal yourself first, but there is no way to prevent smallpox."

Xu Xiaoli was moved in his heart and said, "You have another idea?"

"Cowpox vaccination method!" Shen Furong said word by word.

The most basic, effective and simple way to prevent smallpox is vaccination with cowpox.

"What is the method of vaccination against cowpox?" Wu Xian Cheng was a little confused after hearing Shen Furong's words and asked with a frown.

"Master Wu, do you know that people who have contracted smallpox will never get smallpox again as long as they recover?" Shen Furong was about to explain to Wu Xiancheng the principle of vaccination to prevent smallpox.

"I know, but what does this have to do with vaccination with cowpox?"

"It's good for adults to know. In fact, vaccination with cowpox is almost the same as contracting smallpox. As long as you are vaccinated with cowpox, it is the same as getting smallpox."

"However, because the onset of cowpox is relatively mild, even if humans get cowpox, it will not be fatal. The effect after recovery from cowpox is the same as after recovery from smallpox. You will not be infected with smallpox again for life."

Vaccination with cowpox can prevent smallpox mainly because the two have the same antigenic properties. The antibodies produced by cowpox can neutralize the smallpox antigen and prevent humans from being infected with the smallpox virus.

"Have you noticed a strange phenomenon? Anyone who raises cattle or butchers who slaughter cattle, and has contracted a disease called cowpox, will never be infected with smallpox again."

"As long as you are vaccinated against cowpox, once the cowpox takes effect, people will no longer have to worry about smallpox."

"So that's it. I seem to understand."

Shen Furong's explanation was quite easy to understand. After a little explanation, Wu Dayong understood what she wanted to say.

Just relying on vaccination to prevent smallpox was too shocking, and he needed to digest it.

The doctors sitting next to them also heard Shen Furong's prevention plan. Obviously, they were also shocked. They all looked like ghosts, their eyes were bigger than bull's eyes, and they immediately started talking:
"Huang Miao, it's too late for us to avoid this disease. Why do you want people to contract this disease on purpose?"

"How can you use the unclean things from that beast... This, this is too ridiculous."

"It would be too disgusting to inoculate people with the pox slurry from cow pox."

"This method is weird and absurd!"

Not only did everyone have doubts in their hearts, but they also felt that the cowpox was disgusting, and they were also afraid that vaccination with cowpox would be harmful to the body.

"Wonderful, wonderful! I have never thought that the disease can be solved in this way. When I was practicing medicine, I also saw that all things in the world are interdependent. Maybe this method is really feasible and the smallpox epidemic can really be solved."

Compared with other doctors who couldn't accept it, Dr. Shi thought this method was feasible.

Wu Xiancheng looked hesitant after hearing everyone's opinions: "Is this really going to be okay? You have to catch the disease first."

Madam Zhou has always said that her method was found in ancient books. If this method is effective, why hasn't anyone heard of it before?
"Vaccination of cowpox will only cause a high fever for a day or two in healthy people." Duan Sheng's trust in Shen Furong was unmatched by others.

"That's right, isn't it just cowpox? It's not like I've never seen it before. Just get vaccinated. You won't die."

"Indeed, as long as it prevents smallpox, what does it matter?"

"There is no other way now. If it is true, it may be able to solve our urgent need."

One after another, doctors began to hold different opinions.

Others couldn't help but feel confused for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing unacceptable.

Compared to life, what's disgusting?
Xu Xiaoli broke the silence: "Vaccination against cowpox and resistance to smallpox is a matter that benefits all people and will last forever. This contribution belongs to all of you here." As soon as he finished speaking, some doctors rushed to speak:

"If this method of resisting smallpox can really succeed, it will be done once and for all, and no one in the world will have to suffer from smallpox."

"It is really a blessing for Dayan and a blessing for the people!"

The doctor even said impassionedly: "I implore Mr. Wu to promote it throughout the city, so that it will be of benefit to all generations!"

Wu Xian Cheng was also infected by the atmosphere at the scene and said excitedly:

"Good! Good! Good!"

"You and I will be responsible for promoting this matter together!"

Shi Langzhong raised his eyebrows and looked at the crowd, stroking his long beard: "It's just that cowpox is a dirty thing after all. It's not easy for people to believe that they should be vaccinated voluntarily."

Shen Furong stretched out her slender jade fingers, picked up the tea cup, and said after hearing the words:

"This is not difficult. All you need to do is take the lead in inoculating cowpox among the doctors. It is best to vaccinate in front of the people. The people will naturally follow suit."

"For the safety of Huainan Town and for the people, we have no shirking responsibility." All the doctors had serious faces.

Having taken the first step, all they had to do was move forward resolutely.

So in the following time, Shen Furong led Duan Sheng, a group of disciples from Youlin Valley, and doctors from Huainan Town, walking back and forth in the villages under the city.

Fortunately, cattle are necessary livestock for farmers, and there are many cattle in the countryside. Cowpox was quickly found, and then came the more delicate work of inactivating cowpox.

Although Shen Furong is not a professional doctor, she is the proposer of this theory after all, and she has read enough miscellaneous medical books.

Therefore, after finding cowpox, Shen Furong was fully prepared and provided simple training to these doctors, including modern understanding of bacteria and viruses and some modern medical knowledge.

Fortunately, these doctors are all experienced in many battles and have rich practical experience. After listening to Shen Furong's medical theories about bacteria and viruses, they suddenly felt enlightened and enlightened, even some of the problems that had troubled them before. , seems to have found a direction that can be explained.

Finally, we talk about how to vaccinate and normal reactions after vaccination.

"When I wait, I will write down the detailed method of vaccination with cowpox. You only need to follow what I have written. In fact, there should not be much difference from what I just talked about."

"Forget it, I'll demonstrate it to you."

Everyone present looked surprised, with disbelief in their eyes.

What did they hear?
Madam Zhou actually wanted to demonstrate it herself.

How dare she?Isn't she afraid of death?
As a woman, she did something that none of their men dared to do.

The shock and disbelief on everyone's faces gradually turned into shame, and finally the shame turned into appreciation and a hint of admiration.

Xu Xiaoli clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves, feeling a little complicated.

He asked himself that he could not be like Shen Furong, risking life and death for the sake of the people.

Shen Furong didn't think too much. She originally thought that vaccination with cowpox was simple, but now she discovered that there were still many details to pay attention to.
