While Chen Chen was studying the T-virus in the Spire Experimental Base, the outside world was still focused on Eco Science City, paying close attention to the clinical trial.
Under the shadow of the virus, everyone was paying close attention to this matter.
In order to keep countries informed of the latest information, the World Health Organization specially set up a special website. The clinical trial was updated every day and there were even photos and recorded videos.
The website recorded the daily measurements of the five thousand volunteers in Eco Science City as well as the antibody data in their blood.
The data included the main indicators of adverse reactions within seven days after the vaccination as well as the secondary indicators of adverse reactions within days 0-28, such as BE-006 specific antibodies, EBOV-520 antibodies, specific T-cell responses, changes in laboratory safety indicators, and so on.
At the end of the one-month period, the final results of the five thousand volunteers were finally announced —
Whether it was in the low dose, medium dose, or high dose groups, everyone's blood produced BE-006 specific antibodies and EBOV-520 antibodies, and no adverse reactions were found.
In other words, the clinical trial of the virus vaccine was completely in line with the boundaries set by the World Health Organization. This also meant that this vaccine could be recognized by most countries and sold and used in these countries!
The news spread like wildfire and immediately caused countless people to jump and cheer. Almost overnight, countless media outlets arrived at the Eco Science City like flies that had smelled blood.
"Dear viewers, you're now watching the Reuters broadcast. I'm currently in the Eco Science City of Namibia... At present, one hundred and twenty-four countries in the world have closed their ports and airports, and seventy-eight countries have taken measures to seal off their countries. However, there are still cases of infection in India, Northern America, Mexico, the South China Sea Continent, and other places. Countries are doing their best to fight the epidemic...
"At present, in addition to Blackwatch, the Northern American government, the Central Continent government, the European government, Pfizer, Novartis, Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline, and other companies have also entered the stage of vaccine development in full swing. The spark of hope for mankind is still burning!"
...
"Hello everyone, welcome to the Associated Press report. Many people may be unfamiliar with the name Blackwatch, but if we talk about anti-aging reversal treatment, Eco Science City, and other terms, I'm sure you'll more or less have an impression. In fact, these are all products of Blackwatch Corporation. Now, this company has led the world for the second time, becoming the first organization in the Earth Federation to produce the BE-006 vaccine. That's why we're here today..."
…
"Dear viewers and friends, today is Wednesday, July 25. Welcome to News 40 Minutes. I'm your host, Ye Zhiqiu. I'm now in the Eco Science City on the Atlantic coast of Namibia. As of today, thirteen African countries, including the Congo, Gambia, and Swaziland, have entered a state of anarchy. The estimated number of people infected in Africa has reached 150 million, of which more than 30 million have died from the epidemic, but the epidemic is still spreading..."
"The person in charge of Blacklight Biotechnology, Qian Wenhuan, said in an interview: According to international regulations, the vaccine has been prepared for safety, effectiveness, quality control, and mass production. The next step is to officially enter the production stage..."
…
Due to the success of the vaccine, Qian Wenhuan also returned to the Eco Science City to take charge of the operations of the entire city.
However, as soon as he got off the private plane, Qian Wenhuan's phone was flooded with calls. As the person in charge of the African branch of Blacklight Biotechnology, hundreds of countries and companies immediately contacted Qian Wenhuan, wanting to buy the vaccine preparation technology.
Logically speaking, at a time like this, it was best for Blacklight Biotechnology to share this technology, but Qian Wenhuan felt a little reluctant. In addition, this matter was too important, so Qian Wenhuan had to call Chen Chen to ask for his opinion.
"Do you even need to think about it? We won't sell the vaccine preparation technology to any company."
"But, won't this affect our company's image..." Qian Wenhuan was a little worried.
After all, people were dying all over Africa every day, and various countries and continents were constantly sending supplies to Africa. In this environment, if Blacklight Biotechnology was too concerned about profits, it would inevitably look bad.
Moreover, the virus had appeared all over the world. It was only with the buffer in Africa that countries were prepared in advance, so over the past month, the epidemic in each country had not gone out of control.
However, if the virus raged on for a longer time, it would be hard to say...
"Just because we won't sell it doesn't mean we can't give it away."
However, suddenly, Chen Chen's tone changed. "We won't sell it to those companies because we want the world to know that this technology is extremely valuable. It's not cabbage that can be obtained just because you want it.
"And if we give the technology to the governments of various countries, it will show that our company cares about all of humanity and will never use the technology for personal gain."
"In that case, we won't take a single cent?" Qian Wenhuan was taken aback.
"Of course."
Chen Chen replied, "Although the governments of various countries are willing to spend money to buy it, if we take the money, the reputation of being the first to develop a vaccine will immediately shrink by half. Even the slightest rumor can label us as' profiting from a national crisis'...
"When that time comes, not only will everything we've done be in vain, but we'll also have to bear the consequences."
"I understand."
Qian Wenhuan heaved a sigh of relief. "I misunderstood you earlier, but now it seems that you're still the one who sees the big picture, Boss."
"This is just basic emotional intelligence."
Chen Chen shook his head and was speechless. "So, there's no need to feel that it's a pity. I dare say that the pharmaceutical giants like Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson are also involved because of reputation, status, and international influence. None of them are doing it for money."
"Understood!"
Qian Wenhuan replied, "Then I'll tell those companies that if they want the vaccine preparation technology, they can ask their country for it."
"Sure." Chen Chen smiled and hung up. He looked down at the various data in the file.
It was the data of the refugees outside the Eco Science City.
Over the past month, more than half of the refugees outside the Eco Science City had died. To prevent the decay of the corpses from causing a greater epidemic, the Namibian military had to bite the bullet and dispose of these corpses. In total, they had to transport hundreds of trucks.
With the number of people greatly reduced, Chen Chen no longer had to worry about this group of refugees charging in.
Although Chen Chen was the vaccine research and development company, Chen Chen did not plan to participate in the production of the vaccine. He only planned to produce tens of thousands of vaccines for the use of the employees in the Eco Science City.
Looking at the gradually rising sun outside the window, Chen Chen silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there was still a period of virus ravaging Africa before the vaccine was popularized, the most dangerous period of this epidemic was actually over.
The price of this was that the originally backward and impoverished Africa was once again hit hard. The various countries were also shocked by the infectiousness and lethality of the Blacklight virus.
It could be said that this was the first time since the Cuban Missile Crisis that mankind was on the verge of civilization collapse...
Still, what really surprised Chen Chen was that although this virus was wreaking havoc in Africa, the major continents, including Northern America and the Mainland, seemed to have already prepared for it. They made decisive decisions to stop the virus from spreading in Africa.
Even if some of the virus did spread, it was quickly extinguished by the governments of various countries.
Could it be that this was due to the lessons learned from the plague three years ago?
Chen Chen wore a thoughtful expression.
For some reason, Chen Chen saw a trace of abnormality in this.
