The Merck Group, which owns the production rights of streptomycin, was founded in 1668 with a history of 350 years and is headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany. The group is mainly dedicated to innovative pharmaceuticals.

Originating from a German pharmaceutical company, Merck established a branch in New York due to its successful export business in the United States. In 1891, the US branch of Merck was formally established. Merck's American branch was confiscated by the United States during the First World War. has become an independent company. Today, the two companies have the same name but are not otherwise related.

Not to mention, as a junior, the United States also has a place to learn from the British Empire. Such was the case with the confiscation of German companies taking advantage of the World War.

Alan Wilson remembers that because of patent issues, the United Kingdom used Krupp Group's patents during the First World War, and after the end of World War I, which suffered heavy casualties, they also paid Krupp's patents after the war. fee, and then what? World War II was fought again.

For Merck in the US, the only thing Alan Wilson remembers is the promotion of the hepatitis B vaccine in China. From this perspective, the Merck Group naturally contributes, but the premise is that China actually has the technology of hepatitis B vaccine. Under the premise of the research technology of hepatitis B vaccine, Merck Group promoted the hepatitis B vaccine after entering China.

As early as the 1970s, Tao Qimin developed the hepatitis B vaccine, but the promotion efforts and speed were not enough, and there was no advertisement, let alone the popularity. The United States is a country with a very mature market economy. It is good at using commercial promotion and advertising.

According to international practice, hepatitis B vaccine must be vaccinated on gorillas before it can be vaccinated on humans. But in the 1970s, the experimental conditions at that time were poor, and gorillas could not be bought. The research team used their own bodies to conduct experiments, taking risks to study vaccines.

On the premise that there is an alternative technology, pharmaceutical companies are not the existence of the money that can sit back and watch everyone die. This can be seen from the example of the hepatitis B vaccine.

After Merck Group entered China, the promotion of hepatitis B vaccine was based on this premise. It cannot be said that there is no contribution. The promotion of vaccine promotion with a large amount of funds has contributed, but it is far less noble than imagined.

And now, British India does not have this technology, so Merck Group pulls down its stature to do **. Merck Group, which has the right to produce streptomycin, is definitely not here to do it this time.

The purpose of coming is naturally attracted by drug trials that greatly save costs. Now that two world wars have been fought, it seems that the United States has just entered the stage of world hegemony.

After the Second World War, the United States also began to pay attention to the issue of national image that had not been paid much attention to before. Large-scale drug trials have also come with a slew of regulations, but with that comes an escalation of risk, which is a huge burden on pharmaceutical companies.

But isn't there Alan Wilson, the civil servant ready to contribute to the world? Considering the material resources of India, the favor of pharmaceutical companies, and the urgency of the people, we will solve this problem for Merck.

Anyway, people in British India live in chaos, and they don't even know that they are alive. The obvious advantage of low human rights is very suitable for drug trials to contribute to the world.

India in the 21st century, as a country that still preserves the diversity of diseases that have been eliminated around the world, is naturally unique. The number of deaths from tuberculosis in half of the world is enough to prove that India is a powerful country.

In later generations, there are many infectious diseases in India that other countries have already eliminated, and they have caused troubles to other countries. Such as the smallpox outbreak in the Soviet Union in the 1950s.

Soviet artist Alexei Kokolygin returned from India and landed in Moscow with a moderate cold that seemed normal to many because of the cold winter months. However, on the same night, Kokolygin's body temperature soared and he developed a severe cough and body aches.

The next day, he went to the doctor and was diagnosed with the flu. However, the prescription drugs prescribed by the doctor did not help, and Kokoregin also developed a rash all over his body, but was diagnosed with allergies.

However, a young doctor cautiously suggested that the symptoms might be caused by smallpox after learning that the patient had traveled to India, but her suggestion was not taken.

Alexei Kokolygin died at the end of the month after being in the same room with other flu patients for a few days, while doctors did not discover the real cause of his death.

However, shortly after Kokolygin's death, several other patients at the hospital developed similar symptoms: fever, cough and rash. The hospital hurriedly invited experts, and the final conclusion was shocking: smallpox broke out in Moscow.

Fact-finding, while in India, Alexei Kokolygin attended the cremation of a friend who had just passed away, and he even touched the body of the deceased. There, the "patient zero" was suffering from this deadly disease.

Half a month later, the news about the smallpox epidemic was reported to the Soviet leaders, and Moscow immediately mobilized all resources including hospitals, clinics, police and the famous KGB to search for potentially dangerous carriers in Moscow 24 hours a day.

Everyone who met and talked to Kokolygin, who contacted him and who received gifts he brought back from India, even one of those who sat in the classroom with Kokolykin's daughter Valeria. One hundred and fifty college students were all taken to the hospital.

More than 9,000 people were forced to quarantine during this period, while under a special decree, the hospital where "patient zero" saw a doctor was blocked, and a large number of emergency reserves for war situations were allowed to be used.

In the fight against the smallpox epidemic, the entire health sector, from medical staff to medical students, has been mobilized. They are working day and night to find any suspected pathogens and sanitize the entire city.

The decisive measure to prevent the spread of smallpox was to vaccinate all residents of the Moscow region. For this reason, the Soviet Union required all Muscovites, even those who were dying, to be vaccinated. In the following week, more than 9.5 million people received the vaccine. Vaccination, an unprecedented move in history.

Therefore, large-scale infectious diseases are actually useless to countries with the Soviet system. If the countries with the Soviet system in Eastern Europe are still there, the severe infectious diseases can only spread to half the world at best, and the other half of the world will be different. Live well. Fulfilling what Khrushchev said, "We will bury you in the end..."

Such an excellent virus culture dish is the best test site for various drugs, and Alan Wilson has full confidence in this.

After finding a place, Alan Wilson met with Ronald Koeman, Marketing Manager of Merck Group, and with an open-hearted expression on his face, he welcomed Merck Group's visit to British India.

During the entire meeting, he expressed his admiration for the pharmaceutical companies that have made outstanding contributions to the world, an industry that accounts for nearly one-fifth of the U.S. gross domestic product in the 21st century. What is the world's largest military spending is nothing more than a sprinkling of water, a medical industry that really wants to save the country through industry.

This kind of industry deserves the admiration of Alan Wilson. He dare not say that everyone is afraid of death, but there are definitely a few who are afraid of death. If an industry can make money, the industry will definitely develop. There is no doubt that Merck Group is such a company.

He even felt that Pamela Mountbatten should be asked to think about it and go to Germany to see if he could buy the talents of a medical company. It would be a pity if such a large industry did not work hard. It is definitely better than any airliner.

The two sides were seated, and Alan Wilson heard Ronald's purpose in coming to British India, and immediately said that the environment here is very suitable, "Respect to Mr. Ronald~lightnovelpub.net~ It can be said that there is no better way to travel around the world than to travel around the world. This is a more suitable place for medical companies to produce results, and I use my personality as a guarantee, and everything I said is true."

"Oh?" Ronald was noncommittal and had to admit that this was his purpose in coming to British India. The drug trial stage is already an over-invested stage for domestic pharmaceutical companies in the United States. And after Roosevelt's New Deal, some things that could be done many years ago are not so convenient to do now.

If there is a major medical malpractice, even a pharmaceutical company like Merck Group will not easily retreat.

What's more, pharmaceutical companies are also companies that give confidence to living people in a sense. If there is a major medical accident? This is a huge blow to the company's image.

Alan Wilson just said this, "Drug trials often require a large number of volunteers. If something happens, it will be a major medical malpractice. Not to mention huge compensation, for a pharmaceutical company, once its image suffers When the blow is remembered, it's not about the money."

"British India doesn't have this problem anymore. Merck Group came to British India to save the wounded. If you don't come, these Indians will also die of other diseases. You are here to save India. Even if there is an extreme Small incidents, things here will not be reported locally, and no American will know."

Alan Wilson's words can be said to be in the heart of the representatives of the Le Merck Group. This is the purpose of their willingness to come here in person. Although these words are very appetizing, Ronald still pretends to be reserved, "The main thing is It's saving lives."

"Yes, yes, it's mainly about saving lives and helping the wounded. The people of the subcontinent urgently need you to help the wounded." Alan Wilson immediately followed the other party's words, emphasizing the meaning of saving the lives and the wounded.
