Chapter 325 The Poor Baby

Joey on the phone said he had hooked up with a new single mother who had just given birth, and the eight-month-old burst into tears as they made out.

New mothers who have been out for too long don't want to stop.

Seeing this clever phone call, Joey contacted Adam, the doctor, to see if he really needed to go to the hospital immediately...

"I'm just an intern, not a community doctor!"

Adam was speechless: "I still think about that at this time! Come to the hospital! Immediately! Immediately!"

After half an hour.

Emergency room.

"...I don't drink formula milk, I only give her healthy and natural breast milk. How could it be like this all of a sudden? Her face is swollen like this just now?"

The young new mother talked about the child's situation with a puzzled look on her face.

"tasty!"

Joey stood by, gave a thumbs up, blinked and pursed his lips.

"Come on, Joey."

The young new mother patted Joey lightly, but she couldn't control the smile in her eyes.

"..."

Adam's mouth twitched.

Your eight-month-old daughter is swollen like this, and you are still in the mood to flirt with men.

What a poor baby.

Adam reached out and touched her forehead, then touched her face: "There is no fever, the glands are normal, hey!"

"what happened?"

Joey asked.

"She wasn't vaccinated?"

Adam pointed to the baby girl's medical records.

"Correct!"

"I'm not going to give her any vaccinations," said the new mother, resignedly.

"why?"

Adam was shocked.

"I don't think vaccines work."

The new mother said affirmatively: "The big international pharmaceutical companies want me to think that the vaccine is useful so that they can make money, so I won't be fooled by them."

"Let me guess, you and Joey must have fallen in love at first sight, right?"

Adam snorted.

"How did you know?"

As the new mother said, she looked at Joey affectionately.

"Ha ha."

Adam twitched his lips.

How did he know?
Joey and her, one dumb, one stupid.

Fortunately, Joey became cute by mixing it up.

But she gained an extra beauty and turned into a stupid beauty.

The two are a match made in heaven, and it's normal for them to see each other.

"The antibodies in breast milk can only protect babies for 6 months, so those big international pharmaceutical companies think they can make a fortune from you."

Adam explained.

"No! I don't believe it!"

The new mother shook her head: "So many medical accidents tell me that vaccines are unsafe and have many side effects, which will make children depressed, autistic, and even cause death in severe cases. I will never vaccinate my children."

Adam froze.

This involves the issue of the credibility of Western vaccines.

To some extent, this new mother is really not talking nonsense.

In a country where capital is king, in order to maximize profits, it often ignores human life.

Take the pharmaceutical company Bernadette worked for in The Big Bang Theory.

Bernadette and the others, as developers, knew that the drug was not effective and might cause huge side effects, but they still passed the drug research and development at the request of the company and actively put it on the market.

During this process, their company has already had a set of standard rhetoric: that is, there are countless kinds of conditions that can cause this symptom, so why say that it is caused by their company's drugs?
As a major international pharmaceutical company, they have plenty of money.

Even if there is a problem, as long as it is not a large-scale concentrated outbreak, they can easily solve it with capital.

And before big problems arose, they were already making a fortune with the new drug.

Only the people are paying for it.

Such medical accidents happen again and again. It is conceivable how much trust the American people or Western people have in things like vaccines.

All kinds of rejection reasons and conspiracy theories of the Arabian Nights reflect this kind of anxiety.

"What's wrong with the child?"

Joey couldn't help asking.

"I'm diagnosed with a cold."

Adam said conservatively: "I will ask a specialized pediatrician to come and make a diagnosis later, and you can listen to what he has to say then."

"cold?"

Joey was dumbfounded: "How is it possible?"

This kind of common ailment, who can't have it several times a year, is it so serious?
Adam smiled and asked the nurse to notify the pediatrics.

The cold is not a small problem. The Spanish flu that year was the deadliest infectious disease in human history, causing 10 billion infections and 4000 million deaths worldwide, with a fatality rate of 4%.

Even with the vaccine, tens of thousands of people still die from influenza every year in the United States.

Without vaccination, the danger of exposing a baby of several months to this environment is self-evident.

"Doctor Ross."

"Dr. Duncan, what's the matter?"

A handsome male doctor came over, it was Doug Ross, a senior resident in pediatrics.

Adam explained the situation again.

"There is nothing wrong with your diagnosis."

Dr. Ross checked and confirmed Adam's diagnosis.

"Is it because you haven't been vaccinated?"

Two doctors in a row said that, and the new mother was a little bit overwhelmed.

"Correct."

Dr. Ross couldn't help but glanced at the half-open baby granary that the new mother had left open for the convenience of the baby girl's meals: "As long as 40 dollars, the child can be protected from most diseases. It's better to get a shot. This basic vaccine , are not comparable to new vaccines, they have been verified for a long time, and their safety is still guaranteed."

"You guarantee 100% safety?"

the new mother asked.

Dr. Rose's charming smile froze.

Who can guarantee this?
Drugs are not a cure-all, and many of them depend on the person, otherwise they would not ask the patient whether they are allergic to a certain drug before taking the medicine.

For some people, this medicine is life-saving.

But for others, these drugs are fatal.

Except God, no doctor can be 100% sure.

But God, he wouldn't condescend to be a doctor.

Adam went into a spectator state.

Whether to vaccinate or not is the freedom of new mothers.

In case of a medical accident with a very low probability, the doctor who advised her would probably be in trouble.

At that time, she probably won't care whether you are kind or not, and whether you are helping her at the risk.

It sounds cruel.

But this is the sweet taste of absolute freedom.

All consequences are also freely borne.

"Adam?"

Joey looked at Adam questioningly.

"Listen to Dr. Ross."

Adam said noncommittally, "He's a pediatrician."

"I can't promise."

Dr. Ross also knew the risks involved, so he was not in the mood to count the storage level of the baby’s granary anymore. He said cautiously: "How to choose, you can only make your own decision, and you can also go to other hospitals to have a look."

"Vaccinate her."

The new mother struggled for a long time. Looking at her daughter's swollen face, she decided to trust the doctor.

She doesn't have much culture, she is usually very confident, and like many low-level people in the United States, she is a bit anti-intellectual.

But when it comes to the moment of crisis, I still have something in my heart.

At this time, she was blindly confident and anti-intellectual, and it was her own child who suffered.
