Chapter 310, Loyal and Reliable Scrooge (2)
The day's press conference immediately caused a storm. When the press conference ended, almost all the reporters rushed out of the venue with a 100-meter sprint. Some of the big newspapers prepared horse-drawn carriages for their reporters, so they immediately jumped into the carriages and ran towards the newspaper office. As for the reporters who did not have a special carriage to enjoy, those who moved faster immediately stopped the passing public carriage, those who moved slowly, some were still trying to stop the carriage, and some simply ran in the direction of the newspaper office by themselves, and saw if there was a chance to stop a carriage as they ran.
Subi's seat was a bit far from the door, so, by the time he came out, of course, there was no carriage to ride on. Subi hesitated for a moment, then ran in the direction of his newspaper. Colile followed two paces, but he was too fat to keep up with Subi, so he gasped and stopped holding on to a telephone pole while looking around to see if he was lucky enough to see a public carriage.
As for Subi, he is running briskly now, and on the street, he is like a loach, always able to quickly drill through the gaps in the bustling flow of people, which was practiced by Subi and the police when he was a homeless man a few years ago. Of course, when Subi bypassed an intersection at high speed with the sound of the wind whirring in his ears, and then met a fat policeman head-on, almost as if reflexively, Subi came to an emergency stop and was ready to change directions. However, he reacted immediately, and now that he was a legal citizen with status, he ran away without seeing the police anymore. So, Subi took a breath, then smiled at the policeman, and then ran forward.
ā¦ā¦
In any case, Subi couldn't outrun the carriage, so the big newspapers were the first to publish the news. The news was so sensational because the drug it involved was the most widely used and sold drug in the world. In the original history, the pin of this thing. Sales have reached an unprecedented high of more than 5.0 percent of the total pharmaceutical market. And in Scrooge's time, the sea. Lo. Because its share in the world pharmaceutical market is even higher than in the previous era. This is because the drug appeared earlier, so there are fewer drugs that can compete with it. Plus Scrooge's corporate sales. The means of sales are also relatively more advanced, and as a result, this drug has miraculously owned about 10 percent of the entire world drug market. This record is not only unprecedented, but even for the foreseeable future. Even now in the real room of McDonald's Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company, several miracle drugs that are still in a state of pre-research, what penicillin, what streptomycin, etc., are far from being able to compete with the "sea" in terms of possible market share. Lo. Because of "comparable." Because "the sea. Lo. Because "for any pain, there is an immediate effect, although after years of propaganda by McDonald Chemical & Pharmaceutical Company, everyone knows that this thing is definitely a "palliative, not cure" thing. But many times, many diseases really don't need to be cured.
For example, the most common illness - flu, this thing is caused by a virus, in this era, basically there is no medicine that can really do anything against the virus, so, if you have a cold, it will be fine for a few days, and it will be good to take medicine or not. It's just that if you don't take medicine, you have to endure a series of symptoms such as fever, headache, runny nose, cough, and body aches. And if you take "Sea. Lo. Although the virus multiplies in your body, and the immune system in your body kills them as well, your symptoms are suppressed and gone, and you don't have a fever, a headache, a runny nose, a cough, a body ache or fatigue. It didn't feel like I was sick at all, and then I was comfortable for a week, well, the cold was cured. How much difference is this from the fact that you will get better immediately after eating a cold?
Because of this, almost every family will prepare some "sea" for themselves and their children. Lo. Because every doctor, when dealing with some uncomfortable diseases, will also open a box for him. Lo. Cause". It can be said that in later generations, problems that required a lot of drugs to deal with, in that era, were all caused by the "sea. Lo. Because "the package is round." Got a cold? Well, come to a box of "sea. Lo. Because "let's go, one piece in the morning and one piece in the evening, stay away from the troubles of colds; Cough? Ah, let me see? Well, let's open some sulfonamides, and give you some "sea. Lo. Because", cough, please choose "sea. Lo. Cause". Plus ads like this one that are far ahead of their time:
"I am the father of one hundred and three children, the children do not study and have no way out, the school is built by themselves, and the teachers do it themselves. Three hundred and sixty lines, after doing more than half of it, when I had low back pain, I suddenly felt that the burden on my shoulders was much heavier...... 'sea. Lo. Because only one is needed, the pain is faster and lasting. Where there's sunshine, there's a school, 'sea. Lo. Because', trustworthy. (The cost of this advertisement has been donated to **Charity School)"
With this qiÄ, the sea. Lo. How can you not sell crazy? However, suddenly, the miracle of the history of medicine was created by the MacDonald Chemical & Pharmaceutical Company suddenly announced that "Sea. Lo. Because "it's not safe, stop producing this drug!" How can such news not cause shocks?
The tremor quickly spread from North America to the world, and for a time the whole world, almost all the newspapers, in the headline position, reported the news, and devoted a full page to discussing the impact of this event. Influential media outlets immediately contacted relevant experts for interviews, as well as arranged interviews with doctors and consumers who have been using the drug. For example, the Times, the world's most influential newspaper, published an interview with Dr. Poole, the editor-in-chief of The Lancet magazine:
"Dr. Poole told us that in fact, 'the sea. Lo. Because the crisis is not as terrible as everyone thinks. In fact, although according to their actual verification, this compound will indeed be reduced to morphine in the liver, but the use of the drug itself over the years also shows that if it is used strictly according to the dosage standard, it does not have the risk of addiction. Even, as far as I know, some of the guys I know have gotten sick and eaten "sea. Lo. "Come, it's like eating jelly beans." But he still doesn't have any signs of addiction. Of course, people are not the same, and perhaps some people become addicted with only a small dose, which may be one of the reasons why Mr. MacDonald made such a cautious decision. āā¦ā¦
Dr. Poole even told me that he had a lot of 'seas' in his own home. Lo. He did not intend to return the drugs to McDonald Chemical & Pharmaceuticals. He said, 'Why should you push away these useful medicines?' Because it's not safe? God, our whole family has been using it for years, I'm a doctor, and I know it's not that scary. In fact, according to the content of diacetylmorphine in the drug, its content is very small, if we replace the same amount of diacetylmorphine with morphine, the drug is still safe, but the effect is not visible at all. So I still think, 'Sea. Lo. Because 'is one of the greatest medicines of our time. Why should I return it? All I'm worried about now is, if this guy Scrooge McDonald doesn't produce it, where will I be able to buy it when I run out of stock? āā¦ā¦
As for McDonald's Chemical & Pharmaceutical Company's failure to discover that diacetylmorphine would be reduced to morphine by the liver during the development phase of the drug. Dr. Poole thinks this is completely understandable, because the normal dose is so small, so the normal dose of real yĆ n really can't detect the problem. In fact, McDonald Chemical & Pharma has been cautious enough that they have even conducted a six-fold toxicology test. At this point, they are far more cautious than the average company. Dr. Poole also told us that they had done the same thing as soon as they got the news, and that they had detected morphine in the livers of animals at eight times the concentration. So it's perfectly normal that McDonald Chemical & Pharmaceuticals didn't find out about this in time.
'Any drug has side effects and is dangerous. Even aspirin is the same. Personally, I think Mr. MacDonald is overreacting on this matter. Dr. Poole concluded. ā
In the "Daily Mail" report, some people who have dealt with Scrooge analyzed the reason why Scrooge did this, they said:
"We interviewed a number of people who were familiar with Mr. Scrooge MacDonald, as well as some doctors, who generally believed that Mr. Scrooge MacDonald was overreacting, and that the reason for his overreaction was probably because of his personal moral cleanliness.
We know that Scrooge was a rare good man, a philanthropist. But he has a problem, and that is that he has a rather strict moral cleanliness. Well, you guys pay attention to how many times Scrooge has denounced the crows in various media over the years. Piece traded? Well, at this point, I must state that I fully agree with Mr. MacDonald, the crow-seller. Giving a piece to others, making others addicted, wanting to stop, and finally destroying others both physically and mentally, such a so-called "trade" is absolutely immoral and should be spurned! So Mr. MacDonald has been trying to reach a worldwide ban on crows. Tablets of the Convention. And now Mr. MacDonald's own production of drugs actually produces and crows. The effect of the same tablet. Such a situation is indeed difficult for a person with moral cleanliness like Mr. MacDonald to accept, so I think that Scrooge's behavior is entirely the result of the onset of moral cleanliness. You know, this guy can be pretty stubborn at times. ā
As for the economic losses that would result from doing so, another friend of Mr. MacDonald's, Mr. Seaman, put it this way: 'MacDonald Chemical & Pharmaceutical Company is not a public company, it is entirely a private business of the MacDonald family. How much money does Mr. MacDonald have now? A billion dollars, or a billion pounds? Ah, you see, rich people are so willful! āā¦ā¦ā
