The Conqueror of AIDS (8)
“Even if there are people against developing vaccines, there are much more emails from people who support them.”
said Yoo Song-mi.
“So it’ll probably take some time for you to look it up yourself. I’ll send you a separate list of emails against vaccine development.”
“Yes, thank you. Please collect them and send them.”
Ryu Young-joon went back to the paperwork.
Yoo Song-mi organized her mailbox in about 30 minutes. He also showed up with an iced Americano as a bonus.
“I think you always eat at this hour.”
“Thank you.”
I slowly read the mail box while drinking coffee.
Among the nation’s top university students, such as Jeong Yoon-dae, there are vaccine skeptics.
Moreover, it is not just one or two of the ordinary people.
They were quite worried about the technology Ryu was developing.
[Dear Dr. Ryu] I am a citizen who has supported Dr. Ryu Young-joon for a long time. Do you happen to know Anarchy? It’s a movement to raise a child without using medicine. Vaccines are dangerous. Dr. Ryu, it’s been great that you’ve developed a lot of good drugs and treatments, but why are you suddenly trying to take a bumpy road that hasn’t been verified…….]
[I’m Kim Pilyoung, a sophomore majoring in history at Jeongyoon University] Recently, Jeong Yoon-dae’s Green Square is signing against the development of the AIDS vaccine. I’d like to ask Ryu Young-joon. Vaccines are….]
[Dr. Ryu Young-joon] People’s sex life will be more messy and messy if there’s an AIDS vaccine or something. Don’t you get AIDS in dirty sex? In fact, the rate of AIDS is high among homosexuals who have anus sex. So, I think it could actually increase the number of course.
Clack.
I closed my mailbox.
You’re an interesting person. There are only two creatures created from nothing on Earth. One is the common ancestor of all living things, and the other is me.
Rosaline said.
Life never happens on its own. Does it mean that a human immunodeficiency virus that didn’t exist during the messy sex of non-infected people is created in the air and then causes AIDS infection? You can never do that. It wouldn’t be easy if most scientists tried to come in and react all kinds of cultures and organic matter with thermocyclers on purpose.
“…….”
Ryu Young-joon was deeply troubled with his chin on his back.
You care. I don’t think that’s necessary. Just ignore it. That’s not until the 19th century when Pasteur was experimenting with swan flasks.
“It’s not that simple.”
Ryu Young-joon said.
Vaccine conspiracy theories are not new. It’s nothing to dismiss as just ignorance.
This is because the more advanced countries with higher education levels, the stronger the conspiracy theory of vaccines tends to be.
This trend is especially prevalent among white, highly educated and high-income earners in the U.S.
Individual experiences of side effects of vaccines, and a sense of security that there are no life-threatening infections everywhere like in developing countries.
They create distrust and opposition to vaccines.
In addition, when those educated in democracy begin to appeal to “the freedom of choice of individuals,” a solid logic is created.
Did U.S. President Clump appoint a vaccine skeptic as the head of the vaccine safety committee?
Ryu Young-joon, who was studying anti-cancer drugs, was also speechless when he heard the news.
Moreover, what was the impact of immunology and vaccine researchers at the time?
A U.S. journal on Immunology also called the appointment an international disgrace.
But he’s still sitting in that key post. Public opinion against vaccines in advanced countries such as the U.S. is so strong.
There has been no full-fledged movement in Korea yet, but there is a possibility that the AIDS vaccine will be the starting point.
If you’re worried about that, just go on the show.
Rosaline said.
– If anti-vaccination is an immune response, you become the vaccine yourself. Now make antibodies to that public opinion in the country.
“I’ll think about it until today.”
Ryu Young-joon got up from his seat.
“I’m off work. Songmi, go home now. It’s already past work time.”
As he left the office, he told Yoo Song-mi.

I came back home after two weeks.
In the meantime, I was so busy that I stayed up all night at work and didn’t go back on weekends.
It’s a waste of time to travel home. I put some clothes in the closet of the office, slept on the sofa, and washed in the shower room.

“I’m going to forget my son’s face. Come home more often. What?”
My mother, who moved here about two months ago, said.
“Why are you so busy?”
My father who was watching TV gave me a scolding.
“Youngjun, don’t mind your mom and dad, just do what you want, okay?”
“I’ll be back more often now.
Ryu Young-joon said.
“These days, I’ve been so busy all day and night fighting AIDS that I’ve been staying up all night at work, but I can catch my breath in a few more weeks.”
“Oh, thank God.”
His mother patted him on the shoulder.
“Take care of yourself. It’s no use if you’re sick.”
Ryu Ji-won also came home early because of Ryu Young-joon, who eats dinner at home.
It’s been a while since the four of my family got together to eat.
“I can’t believe you’re coming home.”
Ryu Ji-won said as if she was surprised.
“I’m here to see if you study hard.”
“I actually have a confession to make.”
“What is it?”
“My computer broke down while I was doing my homework, so I used my brother’s computer and it broke down, too.”
“How can I get two computers on my assignment?”
“I was downloading some kind of program…….”
Ryu Ji-won looked around and laughed.
“I’m sorry. I’ll fix it with my own money.”
“Isn’t that the allowance I gave you?”
“Uh……. That’s true……. Anyway, I’m sorry. But brother, I saw some conspiracy theories at school today.
Ryu Ji-won quickly changed the subject.
“A conspiracy theorist?”
“Vaccines are dangerous, incredible, and developing such things can make people more chaotic and increase AIDS.”
“What kind of people are they?”
My father frowned and became angry. My mother stepped in.
“It’s possible. To be honest, I thought so in the past.”
She said.
“I’m worried about how burdensome it is to get a baby shot for a mother, and how much trouble it must be to get a shot when it doesn’t hurt because it’s a vaccination.”
“Oh, honey, don’t say that anywhere. What if Youngjun’s mom does that?”
“I’m not saying that now, I understand how you feel. It’s not because mothers who don’t use medicine and raise children are bad. What kind of mother in the world would want to ruin her child’s health on purpose? They just thought it was for the best with the wrong information.”
My mother said.
“And I think I can believe that. How do ordinary people know what a vaccine is? I also studied separately after Youngjun went to biotechnology, but I didn’t know what he was talking about because it was hard.
“Eh.”
“You don’t know how vaccines work, do you?”
“…I’m actually thinking about getting on the show because of that.”
Ryu Young-joon said.
“Broadcasting?
Ryu Ji-won raised her head.
“Are you going to be on air?”
“I’ve been offered a lot of offers to appear on lectures and talk shows. I refused everything. But I’m thinking about it now. I thought I’d go out and talk about vaccines and AIDS.”
“Then you can do it!”
Ryu Ji-won said excitedly.
“I’ll do your makeup before you go out. You want to pay 7 to 3?
“I don’t need makeup. I’m not even a celebrity, so why would I do that?”
“Oh, you don’t know anything. If you go out on something like that, you’ll be stuck in the fan club.”
“Oh, you don’t know anything. If you go out on something like that, you’ll be stuck in the fan club.”
To be honest, it gives me goosebumps.
“But I haven’t decided whether to appear or not yet.”
“Why?”
Because scientists are talking in papers.
Ryu Young-joon swallowed a horse.
I knew you’d say something about frustration.
However, for Ryu Young-joon, it was honestly not an easy choice.
Throughout his life, he has seen a lot of scientists taking on stars for things other than papers.
Scientists active in cultural media such as broadcasting, columns, radio, etc.
When I was studying at Jeongyoon University, a professor in the next lab was such a person.
And graduate students in the lab were left unattended.
I barely received the professor’s guidance. The professor is busy writing books and broadcasting, so he barely comes to the lab once a week.
As graduation grew farther away, the faces of the people in the next room kept coming to mind.
Few papers were published in the lab. The professor didn’t read the paper either. The research did not progress, and the professor was being carried away by his fame, appealing to the public.
To Ryu Young-joon, it seemed fake, too.
Of course, I may be able to appear on the show once and return to being a researcher.
But isn’t the first time hard for everything?
I’ve already changed a lot because of Rosaline. But is it okay for me to give you the spirit of a researcher?’
I was worried because I wasn’t sure of myself.
“Youngjun can do whatever he wants, whether it’s on air or not. People are all for you.”
My father said.
“Yes…….”
Ryu Young-joon replied.
Ring.
A new mail came in.
[Hello, I’m a woman in her 40s living in Seoul] I am writing to you after seeing the signature campaign against Dr. Ryu’s vaccine development at Gangnam Station.]
I also clicked to see what you were worried about.
But the story below was a bit unexpected.
[My second child was sick and was hospitalized at Jung Yoon University Hospital, and there was a baby who passed two years ago. He was wearing all kinds of equipment and it looked very painful. It turned out that the baby’s mother hugged her, so she didn’t use the medicine and didn’t give her any medicine to raise her. I’m sure the people who are hugging are trying to raise their babies healthy with their convictions. But eventually, the baby had a brain problem and had a lifelong disability after a lifelong disability. Her mother cries every day because it’s her fault. I support Dr. Ryu. Dr. Ryu, I hope you will continue your research no matter what people say.]
“…….”
Ryu Young-joon sighed deeply.
I’d rather fight the Schmatics.’
He texted Secretary Yoo Song-mi.
[If you go to work tomorrow, please set a date for your appearance] And I have a request for the audience. I’ll call you tomorrow.]

Kim Pil-young, a sophomore majoring in history at Jeongyoon University, was conducting a signature campaign in Mapo-gu.
The temporary organization “Group Against the Development of AIDS Vaccines” and the so-called “Evanmo” quickly increased participants, making it a nationwide scale.
It was on the news a while ago.
The Evanmo people printed the video on large panels and carried it with them.
It was a scene where the announcer came to the front and subtitled “A meeting against the development of the AIDS vaccine.”
And the number of Evanmo people gathered in Mapo-gu today was quite large.
About a hundred people, because this is an important point in this movement.
“Hey man, do you know where we are?”
A man in his 50s passed by said, kicking his tongue.
“Right in front of here is Dr. Liu’s next-generation hospital! Do you sign autographs here?
“Vaccines are really dangerous. Sir, you have to think about it carefully. What kind of social repercussions will it have when it’s made?”
Kim Pil-young began to persuade desperately.
“Madam, I’m doing this because it’s in front of the next generation of hospitals!”
A little girl with glasses stepped in.
“Isn’t this the first place Dr. Ryu would supply a vaccine?”
“Isn’t this the first place Dr. Ryu would supply a vaccine?”
“What…….”
When the man frowned absurdly, the Evanmo people shouted behind him.
“Right!”
“It’s a place like this, so you have to sign it!”
“I oppose the development of the AIDS vaccine!”
“…….”
Kim Pil-young approached the man with a list of signatories and a pen.
“Hey, there’s a paper that says vaccines cause autism. The more developed the country is, the less vaccinated citizens are. Why is that? There have also been side effects of cervical cancer vaccines in Japan. Is the vaccine really okay? Do you know how vaccines work?”
“No…….”
“Just as antibiotics continue to fit, vaccines become resistant.….”
“Hello!”
Suddenly, two young men and women suddenly stepped in front of Kim Pil-young.
“I’m from SBS. You’re doing a signature campaign here in Evanmo, right?”
The woman asked.
“Yes! That’s right.”
Kim Pil-young said with a bright smile.
“Are you interviewing us?”
“No.”
The woman shook her head with a smile.
“Dr. Ryu Young-joon will hold a lecture program to announce the HIV and AIDS infection process and hold a live debate.”
“What?”
“I’ve been asked to fill the audience with people who preferably oppose the development of vaccines.”
She said.
“Can I ask you to appear on the show if you don’t mind?”
