I, Doctor in the US-Chapter 549 - 479: The Election Battle Officially Begins! _2
However, in those years, those pirate-like crew members and captains only roughly understood.
Some people ate lemons... and indeed survived.
You must know, there were still hundreds of years to go before the double-blind method.
It wasn’t until the emergence of the double-blind method that we could truly use experimental methods.
To determine if a drug is genuinely effective.
The reason for saying so much is to emphasize how important this double-blind method is.
So!
Now we are developing a solution to target such a severe global pandemic.
How can this double-blind experiment be easily completed?
What if something goes wrong?
It must be strict!
So, this vaccine will have to wait for now.
And without the vaccine, it is difficult to end this pandemic.
Just like when Zhou Mo Sen, as a minister, called for wearing masks.
He was harshly criticized by many people.
And because of this... the economy, which had been doing well,
naturally was affected!
So...
"He’s not a savior!"
"Yes, it’s obvious he’s not that person!"
"To put it bluntly, he messed up!"
"That’s right! He messed up the economy!"
"No! He messed up everything!"
Goodness, what a spectacle!
The rhetoric from the Republican side was truly in full swing.
They were targeting Guanhai with intense criticism!
You could tell.
This criticism had layers.
But actually... the tactics were quite impressive.
Many people probably don’t understand the real situation in the United States.
Which is, even before Guanhai assumed office, just during his entire campaign process,
there was a... very special ’divinity’!
This is no exaggeration.
It really isn’t exaggerated at all.
Catholicism itself emphasizes one thing.
The chosen one!
It essentially means the savior.
And under the impact of the financial tsunami, the United States was at risk of collapse.
Guanhai, during his candidacy at the time, through the entire process,
had been a source of great hope for countless Americans.
Moreover, it should be understood that before each election, they look for a famous religious figure to deliver a speech.
Right.
This time was no exception!
And it was very straightforward.
He was the chosen one!
That’s what was said during the Democratic convention at the time.
Don’t underestimate this; it’s extremely crucial and effective in the United States.
And now?
The Republican party unleashed their attacks.
Along with the current situation in the United States.
The economy worsened again.
The pandemic was still out of control.
Thus...
The bit of ’divinity’ on Guanhai,
just disappeared!
This is very crucial!
At least in the United States, it’s absolutely critical.
As a result,
one issue became the focal point!
That is, the vaccine!
...
Americans love playing golf.
But, in fact, Guanhai prefers playing basketball.
He is not short, having been a school team member in his youth.
To be fair, Americans play basketball really well.
And Zhou Mo Sen... he just watched Guanhai shoot.
However, both of them were wearing suits and ties now.
Obviously, they weren’t playing basketball with much enthusiasm.
After Guanhai took two shots, he was in a rather average mood.
Originally, with no defense, he had almost a hundred percent shooting rate.
But this time, he missed all the shots.
Frustrating.
But this was only superficial.
"Is it her, right?"
"That’s right."
"That damn woman!"
"Sorry, Mr. President, my capabilities are indeed limited."
They were talking about the vaccine.
In fact, Guanhai had already understood the truth of the matter.
It was the Old Witch causing trouble.
Alright, it wasn’t difficult.
The pandemic had already evolved to a seemingly unmanageable extent.
On this planet, only a few countries remained relatively normal.
Of course, this included China.
However, for Guanhai, the priority was still the United States.
Yes, taking care of one’s own country was all that mattered.
But now, the key issue was the vaccine.
He was the Grand Commander; if he couldn’t solve the current problem,
he would lose the people’s support completely!
The midterm elections had just concluded.
Next year marked the beginning of the presidential election.
Yes, don’t be naive; the election campaign starts next year.
If anyone naively thought that the campaign began in 2012,
they would definitely lose!
And now... it had already begun!
Guanhai was currently entangled in this pandemic.
If he couldn’t resolve it, he would collapse.
Very well, the Old Witch preemptively took control of the vaccine.
Actually... it had always been under the Old Witch’s control.
Initially, Dr. Fauci was involved in the project, but later, the Old Witch came in.
She initially planned to use this to attack Guanhai.
So, even if the patents had expired, or even if the vaccine had already been developed,
the Old Witch would never allow the vaccine to come out now.
As for the timing... the earliest would be 2012, that is, after the Old Witch defeated Guanhai.
What would Guanhai do then?
He sought advice from Zhou Mo Sen.
Unfortunately, did Zhou Mo Sen have the capability at the moment?
"Mr. President, are you really going to follow my advice?"
Or should I rephrase it? Do you really want to resolve this pandemic and make the United States a better country?"
This question was very odd, and Guanhai paused for a moment.
"Putting these two things together... are they appropriate?"
Actually, it’s not about the relationship between the pandemic and the United States, but Guanhai’s true intentions.
That’s right, this is what Zhou Mo Sen was asking.
Namely, do you, Guanhai, have the ambition and determination to do good?
To do a great service for this United States?
Because this question surely implies...
"Mr. President, unless you can manage the entire American medical industry.
What I mean is, even if you get the military research institutes on board, it’s not of much use.
If you can’t achieve this, which is to ensure the medical industry listens to you.
Then, I only have two options.
There are two countries in the world capable of solving this pandemic.
I don’t even need to say which two countries, right?
So, are you willing to cooperate with them?
Let me remind you once more, if you collaborate with any of these countries.
Actually..."
After ’actually,’ Zhou Mo Sen found it hard to continue.
Because it was very clear, those two countries were no other than the other two of the top three of the permanent five!
And cooperation... Guanhai wouldn’t even pass his party’s internal hurdle in the next campaign.
A collaboration... right?
The Old Witch would definitely seize this opportunity to rise to power.
Therefore, this method of solving the pandemic,
for Guanhai personally, had no benefit.
Instead, it was a huge disadvantage!
That’s why Zhou Mo Sen said...
Are you really sincere about doing good for this country, Guanhai?
Only by doing so can you set aside personal interests.
The logic in this is very complex.
Anyone with a little understanding of American politics wouldn’t grasp it.
Moreover, the approach Zhou Mo Sen proposed was akin to presciently predicting the future.
After all, neither China nor Russia had produced a vaccine yet.
Guanhai’s current situation was very poor!
What would he do?
Without thinking much, Guanhai directly asked a question.
"Would you support my healthcare reform?"
This statement...
Zhou Mo Sen was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
Guanhai continued, "This is a ’security measure’ of mine; I hope you understand. Of course, I will go and negotiate with those companies now."
With that, this basketball game was no longer played.
...
In fact, when Guanhai went to negotiate with the healthcare companies,
the outcome was predictable.
Because his healthcare reform actually touched on the interests of those companies.
Healthcare, right?
Thus, Guanhai had almost only one path to take.
He went to have a meal with the Emperor.
And subsequently, the inactivated vaccine was released a week later.
Interestingly, just a week after the inactivated vaccine came out,
yes, it happened week by week.
A well-known American medical company,
announced the success of their RNA vaccine research.
This series of changes,
nearly all Americans and people globally affected by the pandemic rejoiced.
After all, they saw hope.
However, it was already 2011 by then.
These joyful citizens were still unaware,
that the presidential election campaign had officially started!
