The main reasons why vaccines are so expensive are multifaceted, and the cost and return on investment are not the main expenses, the real expenses are the epidemic prevention stations and insulation equipment.

Vaccine preservation requires a low-temperature environment, the construction of epidemic prevention stations must build ice cellars, distribute incubators, and the main epidemic prevention station even needs to expand its capacity and be equipped with carbon dioxide warmers, which is mostly invested.

In addition, the cultivation of vaccines requires cycles, and the production capacity is very limited, and the initial vaccination target of Bailiyan is set at people under the age of 25, as well as the education elite, which has not yet met the vaccine production capacity of 20 million people.

Of course, it can also be inoculated by local method, and the cowpox of cattle can be directly collected and inoculated by themselves, but the cowpox in the untreated cowpox carries other unknown pathogenic bacteria, which has a high probability of causing allergies to the human immune system.

Judging from the successive vaccinations in the past two years, the mortality rate of local vaccination is about 1 in 25,000 to 30,000, which is much higher than that on earth.

This means that the current environment of vaccinia contains pathogenic microorganisms that are not found in the earth's vaccinia, or there are some differences in human constitution, so the risk of inoculating vaccinia without basic sterilization is much higher than that of sterilized strains.

According to the statistics of only 1 in 30,000, more than 17 million people in Xianguo will be vaccinated by local methods, and 600 people will die as a result, which is not a large number, but the proportion is quite high in clinical practice. You must know that the incidence of some malignant diseases is only 1 in 100,000 or hundreds of thousands, and the risk of vaccination is higher than that of colds and flu, which is obviously outrageous.

Li Yi and Ji Kang entered the country with great swagger, and the virus spread all the way with their cars, horses, and people, and the probability of smallpox outbreak was very high, so it was extremely necessary to carry out epidemic prevention and vaccination along the way, and even to vaccinate the places with dense foreign flows in trade transit places, but now when it comes to money, the problem comes.

In recent years, the national treasury has increased its inputs, but its expenditures have also been quite large. King Xian acquiesced to Bailiyan's construction and actively prepared for the war, and the cost rose year after year, and the cabinets of foreign dynasties were questioned, and under the suppression of King Xian, there was no big wave.

Now they want the court to pay for vaccination, with the thinking of most people, it is natural to spend money on medical treatment and medicine, and there is no reason for the court to pay for it. So there was opposition, and the others were silent, so it became a face-to-face confrontation between Bailiyan and the prince.

The cabinet was silent, and the atmosphere became delicate, and then King Xian broke the silence and asked cautiously:

"With the meaning of the Marquis of Yongxing, how much money did the court and the people pay respectively?"

"King Qiqi, the court's contribution should not be less than sixty percent, and the people will pay the rest of the money, if the court's contribution is too low, the people have no willingness to be vaccinated. It is too high, and the treasury spends a lot, which will affect other expenses.

The minister suggested that after this vaccination, at least 300,000 places should be arranged every year, with the imperial court providing 60% of the money for children under the age of 20 to be vaccinated, and arranging more than 100,000 places to be fully charged, so as to make up for the losses caused by the imperial court subsidies. At the same time, the public should be encouraged to collect bovine rash and self-vaccinate themselves, and only a multi-pronged approach can avoid the outbreak of the epidemic to the greatest extent. ”

Before the words fell, the prince said:

But this is still not enough to fully compensate for the losses caused by the state treasury subsidies, since the people can use the cow rash as a medicine, why should the imperial court pay for it. Father, as far as Erchen knows, since the pilot vaccination in the capital county, the people have been vaccinated every year only 20,000 or 30,000 people, and the national treasury is so subsidized that it is bound to lose money for a long time. ”

"The prince's words are wrong." Bai Liyan denied, and then said: "The number of cow rashes taken from cattle is scarce, and it is far from enough. Therefore, it must be cultivated by manpower, and the imperial court will purchase inoculated drugs at cost price, so although the treasury has a loss, it will not lose too much.

However, if a large number of people die due to illness, the economic losses lost every year due to the loss of labor will be more than the imperial court subsidy. Which is more important, I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will know which is more important. "The fastest network update mobile phone::/m.. com/

King Xian looked at the crown prince and then at Bailiyan, and his heart was undecided, so he asked Gao Xundao:

"Gao Aiqing, do you think the imperial court should make up or not?"

"Back to the king, since ancient times, there has been no precedent for the people to get sick and the court to lose money to see a doctor and buy medicine, only after the outbreak of a serious illness and epidemic, the court has provided disaster relief. He did not object to the introduction of vaccination by the Marquis of Yongxing, but at the moment that smallpox had not yet occurred, it was premature to assert that the epidemic would occur. ”

"Hmm......" King Xian couldn't hear his attitude, and then looked at Zhao Xun and Lu Gao and asked:

"Zhao Qing, what do you think?"

"The minister thinks that epidemic prevention is more important than preventing the enemy, and even though the enemy is cunning and cunning, he still kills people with a bright weapon, and the epidemic kills people without being visible, and it is really not humanly stoppable. In the battle of Yin Yang that year, if it weren't for the Jin army dying of cholera, the ministers would have died on the battlefield and the horse leather shroud.

However, there is indeed no precedent for the court to pay for the people to see a doctor, but there is no precedent to set a precedent, so that future generations can follow the rules of their predecessors and do the things of future generations. ”

"Zhao Qing's discussion is reasonable." King Xian affirmed, and asked Lu Gao: "What does Lu Qing think?" ”

"King Qiqi, the minister thinks that the matter of epidemic prevention should not be taken lightly, just as a sergeant cannot afford not to prepare armor and armor. If there is no war on weekdays, the sword and gun will be put into Kuma and put in Nanshan, and when the enemy suddenly attacks, the country will have no power to parry.

What's more, the epidemic disease cannot be seen or touched, and the enemy is still strictly guarded, and such invisible epidemics need to be prepared for prevention before it happens. "New Bayi Chinese Network first published www.. com m.. com

Lu Gao's attitude was firm, and King Xian no longer asked Nuo Yiyan, but looked at the crown prince:

"Prince."

"The son is here."

King Xian paused for a moment, leaned on the cushion and said slowly:

"Prevention is more important than cure, and it is too late to treat the evil disease when the epidemic comes, and it is better to prevent it before it happens."

"Father... The lesson is that Erchen understands. ”

The prince reluctantly agreed, but he had a different idea in his heart.

At the end of the cabinet meeting, Bai Liyan drafted a Chen note and handed it over to King Xian for approval, and when he was about to leave the palace, he ran into a panicked Jiang Can.

"Why is His Royal Highness here?"

Bai Liyan asked him, and Jiang Can said incoherently:

"The epidemic prevention team of Yicaotang Desannan County came to report that it was found that Xu Guoren, who had smallpox, had died in the palace capital, and Du Jilang ordered me to enter the palace immediately to report the matter to Dasi Nong."

Bai Liyan was shocked when he heard this:

"It looks like it happened, do you have any photos?"

"Yes, it has been sent to Yicaotang. Du Jilang ordered me to ask Dasi Nong, do you want to start the plan? ”

"Your Royal Highness will take care of this matter, go and tell your father."

"Oh......"

Sent Jiang Can away, Bailiyan continued to leave the palace.

Jiang Can was transferred to Yicaotang at the end of last year to engage in herbal medicine study, due to his special identity, Yicaotang is not very strict, and it is convenient to enter the palace, so he often needs to travel.

The occurrence of smallpox in Sangnam County is not unexpected, its abundant water system connects the north and south, and it is an important hub for the merchant ships of the Xu Kingdom to enter the hinterland of the Xian Kingdom through Zhiguo, and the capital city of Miyagi is the capital of Sangnam County, so the trade is very large, and the flow of people is more, so the occurrence of cases is really expected.

When she saw Wei Qi, Bai Liyan instructed:

"Send someone to Yicao Hall immediately, inform Du Jilangzhong, and do it as planned."

Wei Qi listened inexplicably and asked:

"Master Hou, what is the plan?"

Bai Liyan rolled his eyes:

"Let people pass the word, where is so much nonsense."

"Oh......"

After the appearance of smallpox, Bailiyan began to consider the development of a standardized epidemic prevention process, and at the same time, the strong physiology of the axillary people made him begin to consider the use of chemical weapons, and the development of rubber made it possible to use a large number of rubber products, so in early 648, Bailiyan began to customize chemical protective clothing, compressed air bottles and gas masks.

As a closed special clothing, chemical protective clothing can be used not only for chemical operations, but also for hygiene and epidemic prevention, the key is to use compressed air bottles or gas masks.

To deal with ordinary toxic chemical agents, ordinary activated carbon gas masks are sufficient, and chemical protective suits are only used for those chemical injuries that not only harm the exposed mucous membranes of the mouth, eyes, nasal cavity, etc., but also endanger the human skin, such as acid and alkali.

Smallpox in Miyato is not enough to spread rapidly in the short term, but its harm cannot be ignored. Yicaotang will dispatch a prevention and control team, carrying chemical protective clothing, compressed air bottles, and hand pump sprinklers, disinfecting the site and its related items with phenol or formaldehyde, and isolating and inoculating those who have been in direct contact with and indirectly contact, so as to minimize the harm.

Now that Xianguo has been industrialized for more than 20 years, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an "era full of miracles".

After leaving the palace and returning home, Bailiyan first went to see Gongliangxiu and informed him of the Sangnan smallpox, and when he heard the news, although Gongliangxiu was a little surprised, he did not feel the slightest fear, and he said disapprehantly:

"One person is just sick and dead, why are you so exhausted?"

"You haven't seen the severity of this disease, and certainly you don't know how terrible it is. I advise you that it is best to guard against this disease in strict terms, once this disease occurs, there is no cure. I'm not in the city these days, so stay in my house and don't let your feet slip out. ”

"Is King Xian going to send troops?"

"You think beautifully, Ji Kang and Li Yi are on their way, I have to intercept them first."

The vast majority of people in the city of Chenling have not been vaccinated, Ji Kang and Li Yi took the people and horses all the way through the city into the city, and they will also introduce the virus into the city, although there are many merchants from Xu Kingdom in the city, but no one knows whether they are host carriers, but it is certain that Ji Kang and Li Yi's entourage must be carrying the virus.

The outbreak of smallpox in Zhiguo is also unfavorable to Xianguo, the border of Zhiguo is fully bordered by Xianguo, and Zhiguo is close to Xuguo, and its large-scale smallpox will be directly imported into Xianguo, which is not a good thing. Bailiyan plans to implement vaccination on the southern border within two years, and initially establish a border interpersonal isolation zone to isolate the risk of importation from border travel to the greatest extent.
