North America, Eagle sauce native.
In the most famous private hospital in Gotham City, Long Beach Island, a middle-aged man in his 40s is talking to his attending doctor.
I’m sorry, Mr. Roosevelt, polio is a viral disease. There is no specific medicine for viruses in the world. Please forgive us for being powerless!
The doctor looked regretful. The middle-aged man in front of him was the son of a wealthy family. His family had plenty of money, so he didn’t have to worry about the cost of treatment. Such a source of customers was very rare in the era of economic crisis, so he hoped that he could cure the disease in the other party.
However, there is currently no specific medicine for polio.
Human laboratories have just discovered that the pathogen of this disease is actually a virus, and viruses are a more difficult to fight than bacteria. People are almost helpless in the face of this kind of thing!
In fact, before Johnson & Johnson launched penicillin, people had no good way to deal with pathogens such as bacteria. If ordinary people encountered bacterial infections, they could only rely on their own resistance to fight through. If they couldn’t, the consequences would be very serious, and many people died from bacterial infections.
After Johnson & Johnson’s penicillin was launched, it became possible to eliminate bacteria, so, Many infections can be effectively dealt with. Although the price of penicillin remains high and is monopolized by Johnson & Johnson, the birth of this drug has still brought huge benefits to people all over the world.
At this time, many hospitals with slightly better conditions around the world have begun to promote and use antibiotics.
Therefore, many diseases that were previously untreatable can now be treated. This is why Roosevelt came to this hospital. He heard that the medical technology of this hospital is the best in the world, so he came here to try his luck.
It was not unexpected for him to get such an answer, but he still felt disappointed in his heart.
Since he contracted this strange disease seven years ago, Roosevelt’s body began to have various problems. His legs can no longer be used normally, and it has become very difficult to stand and walk. The doctor told him that if the situation continues to deteriorate, he may have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
It doesn’t matter, I’m used to it!
Roosevelt put away his cane and prepared to leave.
The bad life did not make him give up hope. During the seven years of treatment, he has been reading various books to enrich his knowledge. At this time, although his body is still weak, he has completed the transformation in his mind.
Sir, please wait a moment!
Just as Roosevelt was about to leave, another doctor in the hospital stopped him.
Is there anything else?
Luo Sifu looked at the other party in confusion, not knowing what the other party wanted to do by calling him to stop.
It’s like this, sir. Although we don’t have a specific drug yet and can’t help you, Johnson & Johnson may have such a specific drug. You can try your luck there!
The doctor leaked an industry secret to Roosevelt based on his own sources.
Johnson & Johnson has been recruiting volunteers for secret virus tests since last year.
This test has led to the deaths of many volunteers. The efficacy of the company’s specific drug is not stable, and there are still many problems that have not been solved.
Therefore, this drug has not been announced at all. It has been in a confidential testing stage!
Because the Eagle Sauce is suffering from a serious economic crisis at this time, there are a large number of unemployed people in the country, and many people have been so poor that they can hardly survive. Therefore, Johnson & Johnson can always recruit volunteers for testing at a high price. In this era, many people are willing to risk their lives for money. Moreover, such tests are not always fatal.
Although the vast majority of volunteers had relatively serious symptoms, they were able to survive by relying on their own immune system. Only a very small number of people with poor immune system died in the test. Of course, Johnson & Johnson was not short of money. They provided enough pensions for both recruiting testers and subsequent follow-up work, so basically no one made trouble!
Without anyone making trouble, Johnson & Johnson itself did not take the initiative to disclose it, and it was difficult for the outside world to know about this new drug. It was normal for Roosevelt not to know about this news. If he had known it earlier, he might have been interested in testing it himself!
Thank you, doctor!
Roosevelt thanked him politely, his expression looked very calm, and he could not see how excited he was.
For him, if this method worked, it would be the best, but if it didn’t work, it didn’t matter.
He had already accepted the reality that he would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair!
After the two left, the doctor who had treated Roosevelt secretly left the hospital, came to a nearby church, and walked into the church’s prayer room.
The news has been leaked to the other party, but it is not certain whether the other party will go to Johnson & Johnson’s headquarters to seek this miracle drug!
Well, this is beyond our control. You have completed your mission!
The people in the prayer room nodded slightly after hearing the doctor’s words. Obviously, they had expected this result.
But if he doesn’t go, won’t our mission fail?
The doctor said unwillingly. He didn’t understand why he refused to let this person be hospitalized before if he really wanted to do it?
If this person was hospitalized, he would have many ways to make it a medical accident and let him die in the hospital. It would not be difficult!
This person’s background is very complicated. If he died in the hospital, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of those behind him. The other party’s power is greater than we thought, so the organization does not want to expose the entire organization through our risky actions.
Hearing the words of the man in the prayer room, the doctor nodded,I understand, that is to say, for the organization, it is not worthwhile to get rid of this person at the risk of exposing the organization, so they did not kill him, right?
I can understand it that way, but this is not something you and I can decide. Okay, your time is up, and I have to go back and report to the organization. If he really goes to Johnson & Johnson, then we must be prepared!
……
Honey, shall we try our luck?
After Roosevelt and his party left the hospital, his wife Eleanor looked a little worried. She hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn’t help asking.
The news revealed by the doctor gave her a glimmer of hope to cure her husband’s disease, but she was worried that this drug that had not yet been formally tested would have great risks, which might cost her husband’s life!
This concern of wanting to cure her husband’s disease but worrying about taking her husband’s life made her anxious!
Roosevelt glanced at his wife, smiled and patted the back of her hand gently:Let God take care of these, but before that, I want to see your uncle! Eleanor looked at her husband in surprise. Her uncle was a very famous president in the history of the Eagle Sauce, but he died of malaria eight years ago. What exactly did her husband want to do when he asked to see him at this time?
Roosevelt smiled and didn’t explain anything.
With the help of the driver, the two drove to the National Cemetery. After paying homage to old Roosevelt, Roosevelt made a decision!
Let’s go to Johnson & Johnson and try our luck!
The headquarters of Johnson & Johnson is not in Gotham City, so they need to make some preparations before leaving.
Just as the two were about to leave, a group of uninvited guests broke into their home!
Listen, you two, we are here to warn you. Someone is trying to lure you to your death. You must not go over there!
