Being paid nearly VND 80 million for flu infection, are you ready?
A hotel is willing to pay you the above amount, if you accept a flu fight.
You know, in Missouri (USA) has a very strange hotel. It is called "Hotel Influenza" - roughly translated as Flu Hotel. And those who work at this hotel will pay you an amount of $ 3,500 (more than 78 million VND) if you are willing to suffer from the flu.
Rest assured, this hotel does not let you die, but their mission is to take care of you, make you most comfortable 24/24, and it is important not to let you . escape during the contract period. .
In short, you will become an experiment, because this is a hotel belonging to the University of Saint Louis Vaccine Development (USA). Experts here are addressing one of the biggest challenges for mankind today: producing flu vaccines.
If you take the risk, you will be given a vaccine, then be tested for some strains of the virus to see if it is infected. This is a HCM-based research model (Human challenge model), different from the conventional vaccine research method, which is to inject drugs and wait for the body to produce antibodies.
After the injection, you will be in a standard hotel room: gym, bathroom, TV and internet. And when the experiment is over, you will receive the amount mentioned above.
This is considered one of the most important facilities in the state of Missouri. Be aware that, with just one flu outbreak in 1918, 100 million people died. The figure is equivalent to 5% of the world population at that time.
Even today, when science has developed very well, things are not better. Assuming a new outbreak of influenza, America alone will have more than 56,000 people dead.
Be aware that the flu virus has many lines, each with its own characteristics. The World Health Organization WHO will be responsible for predicting which strains of viruses are most popular each year, then produce vaccines accordingly. If unfortunately the virus evolves, or the strain spreads as expected, the vaccine will become ineffective.
Therefore, science is really serious to find a vaccine that is resistant to all strains of virus. Although there are not yet, but we also have certain successes in animals. And with this flu hotel, that future can become a reality.
But in general, getting . getting out of the flu is not what many people want to do. Therefore, experts highly appreciate the volunteers participating in the program. They are willing to sacrifice for the future of humanity (although mortality is very rare).
