Chapter 845 The Scourge of Vaccines
"Infected with hepatitis B?" Wang Xiaochuan suddenly didn't understand, hepatitis B vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine, naturally after vaccination, can prevent hepatitis B infection, how can there be parents of children who accuse the vaccine of contracting hepatitis B?
"Dean Huang, what the hell is going on? Isn't it possible that someone is making trouble?"
"That's what I thought at first. Saying that the vaccine in our hospital infected the child with hepatitis B is not a small accusation, so after I heard about this incident, I rushed over to understand the situation as soon as possible, but the result was ...... Alas!" Dean Huang sighed heavily.
It turned out that after learning about this, Dean Huang's first reaction was the same as Wang Xiaochuan's, wondering if someone was deliberately making trouble?
But after arriving at the scene, Dean Huang found that according to the records in the vaccine book, the child who had the accident had indeed been injected with hepatitis B vaccine in the hospital, but the hepatitis B virus was indeed found in the child's body!
What's going on?
When the matter came here, the hospital did not think about the cause of the whole thing on their own vaccines.
After all, there are other explanations for the discovery of the hepatitis B virus in the child, and one of the most likely reasons is that the child was actually infected with hepatitis B long before the vaccine.
Although hepatitis B is not a genetic disease, if one of the parents has hepatitis B, it is still possible for the child to be infected with the hepatitis B virus after birth.
However, the child's parents flatly denied this statement, not only did he personally roll up his sleeves and ask the hospital to test him for hepatitis B virus, but also called his wife at home and asked the hospital to test her too.
Needless to say, the results of the test were 100% healthy and there was no trace of hepatitis B virus in their bodies.
Since it wasn't transmitted from the parents, what happened to this child?
The child who had the accident was less than a year old and was raised by the child's parents, and there was almost no possibility of contact with outsiders on weekdays, so the possibility of infection from the outside world was also zero, so the only possibility was the hospital's vaccine.
Speaking of which, it was a coincidence that the child was found to be infected with hepatitis B.
Because this child was raised by the child's parents, and the two parents were both first-born children with little experience, they were afraid that they would not be able to take care of the child well, so they were shocked by many things.
In the past few days, after the child has been vaccinated against hepatitis B, he has lost his appetite and can't sleep well all day long.
But the doctor who tested the results brought them a bolt from the blue!
The nutrients in the child's body are normal, but there is an indicator, which is obviously not quite right! And this indicator happens to be related to the hepatitis B virus!
Under the strong recommendation of the doctors in the community hospital, the couple gave the child a more detailed test for hepatitis B virus, and the results naturally knew that the child was indeed infected with hepatitis B virus, although the virus is still in the incubation period, but the test indicators are already obvious.
As for the reason why the child was infected with the virus, although the community doctor at that time was not sure, they still gave the couple a speculation, that is, the source of the virus, which is likely to come from the hepatitis B vaccine!
Because the vaccine itself is actually derived from the hepatitis B virus, which is the purified hepatitis B surface antigen, if there is a problem in the process when making the vaccine, it is likely that some of the active hepatitis B virus will be retained in the vaccine, so that the vaccine that should prevent and treat the virus will become the source of the infection vaccine!
Once, in Dongying, which is across the sea from China, there was a serious incident of hepatitis B vaccine contamination, and the hepatitis B vaccine of a company was caused by the use of serum donated by hepatitis B virus carriers, resulting in the vaccine itself not only did not have the effect of prevention and treatment, but became the source of hepatitis B infection, causing quite serious consequences.
It was precisely because the doctor knew about this past that he suspected that the same thing happened to the child.
Compared with the calmness of the doctor, the child's parents naturally came to the door with the child to ask the teacher for the crime after knowing this possibility.
Hearing this, Wang Xiaochuan's eyes gradually became solemn, if what Dean Huang said was true, then this incident was not a trivial matter!
"Dean Huang, have you confirmed the doctor's words? Is it really a problem with your vaccine?!"
"Yes......" Dean Huang also said with a gloomy face: "This time we have a new batch of 10,000 hepatitis B vaccines, and now there are more than 7,000 left, but from the results of random inspection, each vaccine carries live hepatitis B virus, obviously, these vaccines must have problems in the production process, otherwise there would not be such a situation! Now we have suspended the hepatitis B vaccine injection, and the children who have been vaccinated in the past are also contacting their parents one by one......
Hearing this, before Dean Huang finished speaking, Wang Xiaochuan exclaimed: "Dean Huang, you only have more than 7,000 vaccines left, so aren't there at least 2,000 children infected with hepatitis B because of your vaccines?!"
"That's right......"
Dean Huang covered his face with his hands because of guilt.
"I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in our hospital, it's all my responsibility, I have now asked the hospital to contact those parents, and ask them to bring those children who have been vaccinated to come for examination, but I don't have the courage to tell them the truth of the matter, that is more than 2,000 children, and they are all babies under the age of one, although hepatitis B will not kill, but in the days to come, they will suffer from diseases that they should not suffer for no reason!"
"Dean Huang, it's not your fault, shouldn't the real culprit be the manufacturer of that batch of vaccines?" Wang Xiaochuan comforted him, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Which bastard company is producing this batch of vaccines?" Dean Huang, didn't you go to them to ask things clearly?"
"Of course I did!" Dean Huang explained, "You don't know, the city's vaccines are generally purchased by the CDC and then distributed to various hospitals, so in addition to our hospital, other hospitals in the city also imported the same vaccine, and after confirming that there was a problem with these vaccines, we immediately notified the CDC and asked them to recall the vaccines immediately to prevent more children from being infected......
"But I didn't expect that the manufacturer of the vaccine was not small, and even the people from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were complicit in them. At first, we thought they were from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, but who would have thought that after they left, we found out that those people were actually the manufacturers of the vaccines! They took the vaccines back because they just wanted to destroy the evidence! Because after the vaccines were recovered, the manufacturer immediately turned around and said that the children's hepatitis B had nothing to do with the vaccine!"
