Malanshan Military Base!

Finally convinced Director Zhang who was far away in the capital, Zhou Yang felt a lot more relaxed.

He is the director of the Irrigation Research Institute. If he doesn't agree with him using the vaccine under such circumstances, then it will be useless even if he goes to the Ministry of Health.

Fortunately, Director Zhang was also a flexible person. Although he was still a little uneasy, he finally agreed to his request.

As for Zhou Yang, the reason why he really wants to return to the Malan Mountain base is because there are comrades here who he once fought alongside.

More importantly, Zhou Yang also wanted to use this epidemic to test the effectiveness of the vaccine.

For a vaccine, whether it has a preventive effect and whether it is safe are two criteria related to success or failure.

Although Song Shi, Yang Chunhua and others from the medical laboratory have all been injected with this vaccine, they have not been infected and have no particularly obvious side effects.

But as Director Zhang said, after all, there are only a few people in the laboratory, so it is not universal at all.

This is like those who advocate that reading is useless. They cannot say that reading is useless just because there are a few people who don't study and have become famous outside and make a lot of money.

Again, it is not universal!

Are there people who have become big bosses without studying? Yes, there are, but compared to the thousands of young men and women who have dropped out of school, there are really too few such lucky people!

On the other hand, those who have received a college education are more likely to be promoted. This is universal!

That's why Zhou Yang thought of using the scientific researchers and guards at the base to test the vaccine.

If these thousands of people do develop antibodies after being injected with the vaccine and avoid the infection of hemorrhagic fever, then it will be proven that the vaccine is successful.

It's not that Zhou Yang doesn't know the dangers of doing this, in fact he knows the risks better than anyone else.

However, he insisted on his own ideas.

There is no way, if we study step by step, the time will be too slow.

More importantly, Zhou Yang has absolute confidence in the vaccine they developed. Even if it has no preventive effect, it will not have fatal side effects.

If we weigh the risks and benefits, we can still take the risk.

What's more, judging from the current situation of the Malan Mountain Base, it is really not optimistic.

In the previous life, more than a thousand people were infected here, and the death toll reached more than 300, with the fatality rate as high as 30%.

It was only with the strong support of experts and professors from Beijing that the epidemic was finally extinguished.

But less than 10 months later, the hemorrhagic fever epidemic broke out again in a small area in the autumn of the next year.

Fortunately, everyone had experience this time, reported the situation in time, and quickly brought the epidemic under control, but more than a dozen people still died.

To ensure the safety of the vast majority of people in the base under such harsh conditions, the best and most effective way is to use vaccines.

Once the vaccine is effective, it can stop the spread of the epidemic!

With this idea in mind, Zhou Yang immediately returned to the health center.

While he continued to treat those infected, he waited for the arrival of Director Zhang, Professor Song and others.

In this way, the whole day passed quickly.

From morning to night, Zhou Yang has been treating the infected people, and does not dare to relax at all except eating and going to the toilet.

And their efforts are effective. The mild patients who were treated last night have their conditions under control, and many people feel a lot more relaxed.

In addition, the conditions of severely ill patients have not continued to deteriorate, and many patients who have fallen into shock have regained consciousness.

Although their physical condition is still worrying, it has improved a lot compared to yesterday.

However, the illness comes like a mountain falling, and the illness goes away like a thread spinning.

It is still unrealistic to completely cure hemorrhagic fever in a short time.

Even patients with mild symptoms of this disease may take some time to recover!

.........

On the morning of November 26, the fourth day after Zhou Yang and others arrived at the Malanshan base, Director Zhang and others finally arrived!

In addition to Director Zhang himself, Song Shi, Yang Chunhua and others also came with him this time.

In addition, Professor Wang Yuanhua from the School of Medicine also brought many people over.

Zhou Yang even saw Tong Jialin and the students from Saibei Provincial Medical College in the crowd. They were all trained by Zheng Weiguo on his behalf.

Although Zhou Yang was not particularly interested in these people, he only occasionally went to teach them. Most of the time, Duan Yinzhong, Song Shi and others helped teach.

But under the careful training of these medical experts, these people's skills are pretty good.

Although he didn't know why they were transferred here together, Zhou Yang still felt very happy to see them here together.

After everyone arrived at the Malan Mountain base, they immediately inquired and inspected the situation at the scene.

Subsequently, at Zhou Yang's request, everyone immediately decided to hold a short meeting to discuss how to proceed.

In the conference room, Director Zhang, Wang Yuanhua, Song Shi, Deputy Commander Ma, Director Guo and others from the base were all present.

In the main position, Zhou Yang briefly explained the current situation of the base.

Then he changed his voice and continued: "Everyone, this is the basic situation of the epidemic situation in the base. Judging from the current situation, many people are infected every day."

"If it continues to develop at the current rate, it is conservatively estimated that at least one-third of the population may be infected with hemorrhagic fever!"

"hiss!"

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Normally, the fatality rate of hemorrhagic fever is above 10%. How many people will die?

But what they don't know is that due to various factors in their previous life, the fatality rate of hemorrhagic fever at the Malanshan base reached a terrifying 30%, which eventually led to the attrition of one-tenth of the entire base's personnel.

As soon as he finished speaking, Deputy Commander Ma asked in a deep voice: "Comrade Zhou Yang, can't even you people stop the spread of the epidemic?"

"able!"

Then Zhou Yang continued: "In addition to conventional rodent control, there is another way to prevent the spread of the epidemic!"

"Oh, what method? Why don't you use it? Is there any difficulty?" Deputy Commander Ma asked in a deep voice.

"This method is to vaccinate all gay people who are not infected with hemorrhagic fever to prevent these people from being infected with hemorrhagic fever. This will prevent the spread of the epidemic, but this method has certain risks!" Zhou Yang said.

"What's the risk?"

"That is because this vaccine has just been developed not long ago. Although clinical trials have begun, there are no results yet..."

Seeing that Deputy Commander Ma and others were confused and obviously didn't understand much, Zhou Yang immediately changed his tone and said again: "To put it bluntly, the current vaccines have certain risks!"

Now the deputy commander and others finally figured out that the co-authored vaccine has not yet been perfected.

After thinking for a moment, Deputy Commander Ma asked in a deep voice: "Comrade Zhou Yang, how big is the risk you mentioned?"

Zhou Yang understood what Deputy Commander Ma wanted to ask and immediately said: "Not fatal!"

"If that's the case, then I'll be relieved!"

Zhou Yang nodded and said: "If everyone has no objections to this matter, I am ready to vaccinate all comrades in the base who are not infected with the epidemic as soon as possible!"

At this moment, Director Zhang suddenly said: "I have no objection to others getting vaccinated, but you can't get vaccinated. We can't bear the responsibility if something happens to you!"

Zhou Yang knew what Director Zhang was worried about, and immediately said: "I am very confident in our vaccine, and if I don't get vaccinated in such an environment, I will be easily infected with hemorrhagic fever, which will be even more dangerous!"

"this..."

Seeing that Director Zhang was shaken, Zhou Yang struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Besides, I insist on vaccinating other comrades in the base with this semi-finished vaccine, but I am worried about the risks and refuse to vaccinate. What's wrong with that!"

"Oh, you have to figure it out yourself!" Director Zhang said helplessly.

Zhou Yang nodded, and then said to the transparent Tian Xiaohua on the side: "Comrade Tian Xiaohua, please gather all the doctors and nurses immediately. Our vaccination starts with the medical staff."

"yes!"

Afterwards, everyone left the conference room and prepared to get vaccinated...
