Lin Shuangshuang explained: "Because after the villagers are vaccinated, the elderly, children and the weak will be sick for a few days, and they will recover in about three to five days."

"Young and middle-aged people are in good health. Some will not get sick, and some will recover in a day or two."

"Why is this?" The village chief was puzzled.

"Because the antidote I developed is actually a very weakly toxic plague."

"What? Plague?"

The people present were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

"How about this?"

"The plague hasn't spread yet, but you let the people in our village take the plague poison first. This... is not okay, is not okay, is not okay."

The village chief refused without thinking. It sounded too dangerous.

Although he doesn't know what vaccination means, nor does he know how to get vaccinated.

But in his impression, you need to take medicine when you are sick.

Therefore, Lin Shuangshuang said that there is an antidote, so the plague must be prevented by taking the antidote.

But now she said that the villagers should take the medicine containing the plague first. Isn't this harmful?

Lin Shuangshuang was helpless, even the village chief had this reaction, let alone other villagers.

Therefore, it is necessary to explain clearly to the village chief in advance and let the village chief convince the villagers.

"Uncle Li, you misunderstood. You are not taking the plague poison."

"Let me briefly tell you about my process of developing the antidote."

"Did you know that people who get smallpox once and survive are not afraid of getting smallpox again?"

The village chief nodded: "Of course I know that. Isn't that Wang Mazi in the village?"

"The pockmark on his face is the result of smallpox he had when he was a child."

"The child is alive and well, and he will never be afraid of smallpox again."

Lin Shuangshuang followed the village chief's words and asked, "Then do you know why?"

"I don't know. People of the older generation say that if you get smallpox once, you won't get it a second time."

"That's because people who have had smallpox once have produced antibodies in their bodies, so they are not afraid of getting smallpox again."

"You may not understand antibodies, but you understand them as antidotes automatically produced in the body."

"How is it possible that the human body generates its own antidote?"

Lin Shuangshuang smiled. She knew she had to explain clearly to the village chief, otherwise he would be confused and how could he convince the villagers.

"When you contracted cold when you were young, did you take medicine immediately, or did you just take it for a few days?"

The village chief said casually: "We were poor at that time, and we had no money to take medicine. We had to carry it by force. If we could get through it, we would get through it. If we couldn't get through it, we would take medicine."

"That's right, then why can't you get better without taking medicine even though you are sick?"

"This……"

Village Chief Li was stunned. This has been like this from ancient times to the present. Some minor illnesses will heal automatically after two days. How does he know why?

"This is the body's ability to heal itself."

"Our human body is an amazing structure and has a powerful ability to heal itself."

"So some minor ailments can be cured without medication."

"The reason is that the body produces its own antibodies, which can repair and heal the disease."

"Smallpox is no exception. Those who survived smallpox did so because their bodies produced antidotes that could resist the plague. Therefore, when they were infected for the second time, their bodies automatically repaired themselves before symptoms appeared."

"Therefore, it is not that people who have been infected will not be infected again, but that people who are infected but their bodies automatically detoxify and have no symptoms of illness."

"This makes people mistakenly believe that if you are infected with smallpox once, you will not be infected a second time."

"So, I started from this aspect and took some pus from people infected with the plague and applied it to the wounds of cows."

"In a few days, the cattle will be infected with the plague."

"Then take some pus from the cow and dilute it in water to reduce the toxicity a thousand times."

"Then it is inoculated into the human body. If the human body is infected with the plague, the toxicity will be very weak, and the cough and fever will probably be cured in a few days."

"When the real plague breaks out and your body has produced the antidote, you won't be afraid anymore."

"Can you understand what I say?"

The village chief nodded as if he understood, and then asked: "What you said seems to make sense, but it still sounds very dangerous."

"The toxicity of the pus can be reduced by putting it in water?"

"That's natural."

Lin Shuangshuang said as she picked up a candy on the table: "Just like this candy, will it be very sweet if you eat it directly?"

"That's natural."

"Then if you put this candy into a water tank, will the water in the water tank be as sweet as if you just eat the candy?"

The village chief shook his head again. If you throw such a small piece of candy into the water tank, you can hardly taste the sweetness.

"So it's the same with poison."

"Isn't there a saying that says that talking about the toxicity of anything regardless of dosage is a hooliganism."

Well, is there such a saying? Is this the first time he has heard it?

The village chief was persuaded by Lin Shuangshuang, but he was still not worried. After all, the intensity of toxicity cannot be seen with the naked eye.

So how much water should be added to weaken the toxicity to the point where the person will only be sick for two days without dying?

How to control this dosage?

These must be clarified, otherwise lives will be lost.

When Lin Shuangshuang heard the village chief's question, she nodded and said, "This is a good question."

"That's why I use cowpox instead of variola."

"Comparing the two, variola virus is more lethal. Even if it is diluted hundreds of times with water, the mortality rate is still very high."

"That's why I chose to use cowpox, because the toxicity of the cowpox virus is relatively weak."

The village chief asked again: "How do you know you are much weaker?"

"This is recorded in ancient medical books."

"It is recorded in the book that one year there was a cowpox plague, and all the cattle in a certain landowner's cattle farm became sick, and their bodies were covered with acne, which was the same as smallpox in humans."

"But the milkmaid on the farm was fine, so we concluded that although cowpox was similar to smallpox, it was different."

"Then a few days later, a milkmaid accidentally contracted the cowpox virus with a cut on her hand."

"Then the milkman was covered in pimples, like smallpox, but he didn't die, he just left pimple marks all over his body."

"This proves that cowpox is not that lethal to humans."

"A few years later, a smallpox epidemic broke out in that area, and many people died, but the female worker who had been infected with cowpox was fine."

"So, our ancestors came up with the idea of ​​using cowpox to defeat smallpox."

"Do you understand now?"

Lin Shuangshuang explained patiently for a long time, and the village chief and everyone present understood.

But the fear of the plague in my heart has not diminished much.

Although it makes sense, if it is really used on people, it will kill people if it is not done well. Who dares to try it easily?

Lin Shuangshuang seemed to see the village chief's worry, so he said, "I know what you are worried about. Isn't it just that no one dares to try?"

"I'll be the first one to test the medicine."
