Chapter 103: Key Evidence
Gu Yanan sighed slightly, "On the morning of September 17th, Ponyville Central Elementary School organized students to get vaccinated against hepatitis A, but shortly after the vaccination, some students showed symptoms of dizziness and nausea, after which the vaccination stopped and the students were sent to the hospital.
After the investigation of our disease control and prevention, it was preliminarily determined that it was a mass psychogenic reaction event caused by vaccination, that is, mass hysteria.
However, the expert group composed of bed doctors said that it was an allergic reaction caused by hepatitis A vaccination, which was an adverse event of vaccination.
There is a big difference between these two conclusions, and we are currently arguing about them.
Now that Liu Xiuxiu's death has come again, I am worried that clinicians will attribute Liu Xiuxiu's death to the adverse effects of vaccination, and if so, the impact will be even greater. ”
Gu Jiashu pondered for two seconds and said on the phone: "The cause of Liu Xiuxiu's death is very clear at present, that is, a serious infection caused by Shigella caused by respiratory and circulatory failure, which has nothing to do with vaccination." ”
Gu Yanan talked about the opinion of the previous expert group of clinicians, "When I was in Yuntai County People's Hospital before, the clinical expert group attributed the students' examination report of elevated central muscle enzymes to hepatitis A vaccination, and Liu Xiuxiu also had elevated cardiac enzymes. ”
Gu Jiashu: "I have seen Liu Xiu's previous medical records, and her cardiac enzymes are indeed elevated, but Liu Xiuxiu's age belongs to teenagers, and the standard for measuring her elevated cardiac enzymes is calculated according to adult standards, and children's cardiac enzymes will be slightly high, so Liu Xiuxiu's previous cardiac enzyme indicators do not explain anything." ”
"Brother, I think so too, but the leader of the emergency response team adopted the opinion of the clinical expert group and treated the matter as an adverse reaction to hepatitis A vaccination, which is completely different from the treatment of mass hysteria.
If they do it the way they are doing it, it will only increase the tension of students and parents, which is not conducive to the alleviation of symptoms, and more and more students may have similar symptoms. ”
Gu Jiashu also felt that the matter was serious, "Okay, I know, Liu Xiuxiu is the first death case in this incident, and her death report is very important for the emergency team's next handling methods, and I will explain the cause of her death in detail in Liu Xiuxiu's death report." ”
Gu Yanan: "Well, I will continue to communicate with the members of the processing team. ”
——
A day after Liu Xiuxiu's death.
The gates of Yuntai County People's Hospital and Lianhai City First People's Hospital were filled with wreaths to commemorate the dead.
The wreath was placed by Liu Xiuxiu's family.
In addition to the wreaths for the dead, there were also banners with red dye that read "Vaccine harms people, return my daughter's life" and "The hospital is incompetent, pay for my daughter's life......
Wreaths, banners, and the sound of Liu Xiuxiu's mother crying attracted many onlookers, as well as reporters.
Synchronized with the scene are also messages on the network.
Various headlines appear along the way: "Vaccine kills in Ponyville", "Problematic vaccine reappears", ......
Although the online reports have different emphasis, all of them link Liu's death to vaccination.
Gu Yanan looked at the various news on the Internet, his brows furrowed slightly.
Gu Jiashu stood in front of the window of the doctor's office on the 12th floor, overlooking the menacing medical commotion at the gate of the hospital, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
The First People's Hospital of Lianhai City encounters this kind of medical trouble several times a year, and the medical department responsible for handling this kind of matter directly called the police, and soon the police came and took Liu Xiuxiu's family and several professional medical troublemakers to the police station.
In the police station, the police took a consoling attitude towards Liu Xiuxiu's family.
Liu Xiuxiu's mother quickly told everything about the matter.
It turned out that after Liu Xiuxiu's death, Liu Xiuxiu's family felt that Liu Xiuxiu's death was related to vaccination, and decided to seek justice for their daughter.
This incident happened to be known to the professional medical troublemakers who had been in ambush around the hospital for a long time, and they hit it off with Liu Xiuxiu's family and were ready to use Liu Xiuxiu's death to ask the hospital for a sum of compensation, and Liu Xiuxiu's family and the professional medical troublemakers had already agreed on the distribution of compensation.
The police put the professional doctor in the police station for punishment, and handed over Liu Xiuxiu's family to the Yuntai County Vaccine Incident Emergency Response Team, which negotiated with Liu Xiuxiu's parents on the follow-up treatment of Liu Xiuxiu's death.
At the same time, Liu Xiuxiu's death fermented on the Internet, and in addition to Ponyville Central Primary School, parents of other students in Yuntai County who had been vaccinated against hepatitis A sent their children to Yuntai County People's Hospital.
The Yuntai County People's Hospital was overcrowded, and the parents of the students sent the students to the First People's Hospital of Lianhai City.
The mood of the population is in a state of panic.
The Yuntai County vaccine incident emergency response team has been anxious to appease parents, and Gu Yanan is urging the progress of the third-party testing agency responsible for the quality testing of this batch of hepatitis A vaccines.
Clinicians and epidemiologists disagree on this matter.
One side insisted that it was an adverse reaction caused by hepatitis A vaccination and required symptomatic treatment.
The other side believes that it is a mass hysteria caused by hepatitis A vaccination, which cannot be overtreated, and it is necessary to explain the nature of the incident through the media to calm the people's emotions.
Soon, the test results of the third-party testing agency for the vaccine came out, and key evidence emerged.
After testing, the five items of hepatitis A vaccine identification, sterility test, identification experiment, bovine serum protein residue, and abnormal toxicity test of hepatitis A vaccine were tested.
The quality of the vaccine is up to standard.
With the key evidence of vaccine quality compliance, Gu Yanan submitted a report to the emergency response team again, listing the evidence one by one, to prove that this was a mass psychogenic reaction event caused by hepatitis A vaccination.
In the end, the vaccine incident emergency response team adopted the opinions of the Gu Yanan Disease Control Team and characterized the September 17 incident at Xiaoma Town Central Primary School in Yuntai County as a "mass psychogenic reaction event related to hepatitis A vaccination" and treated it as a mass hysteria.
——
The next few days.
Gu Yanan accompanied national, provincial and municipal experts to discuss with the parents of the children to the First People's Hospital of Lianhai City and the People's Hospital of Yuntai County, where the children were treated, to guide the diagnosis and treatment of patients, and to discuss with clinicians to introduce the knowledge of abnormal reactions to vaccination and the psychogenic reactions caused by vaccination.
In addition to face-to-face interviews with clinicians and parents of children, press conferences are also prepared.
The content of the press conference will include what happened, the results of the investigation and treatment, and the treatment situation.
Director Yang of the Municipal Disease Control and Prevention, as a member of the emergency response team, asked Gu Yanan to participate in the press conference on behalf of the disease control system.
Gu Yanan excused himself and said, "Director Yang's work of showing up is more suitable for you, and I am responsible for writing a good speech for you at the press conference." ”
