Finding A Cure For The Cure

Viruses, Plagues, and History, written by Michael Oldstone, is an insightful and highly educational book that details the history of, that’s right, viruses and plagues. Through typically dry, yet engaging prose, Oldstone recounts what seems like all of it while simultaneously bringing to light the contributions of those brave scientists who asked themselves, “why.” He focuses his attention on some of the most notable viruses such as smallpox, yellow fever, measles, polio, and later he focuses on more contemporary battles against disease.

“Fine but just let you know i need some more rebels that aren't completely dead so we could use their organs and limbs to heal our soldiers” She says.

Finally. Years of ceaseless efforts. Countless trials and complications. The completion of the cure for humanity. Out of fear of revolt and turmoil, the necessity for a drug that could subdue the subliminal and divert attention to servitude was created. Although the tests on genetically similar animals had been proven positive, it was instrumental to be tested on humans. The apprehension in the lab was omniscient. The next few moments would define the inconceivable effort invested in the project. Would it work? Would we finally overcome the insurmountable odds? I breathed in anticipation. “Bring in the test subject!” I hollered.

It was a challenge for researchers to find a cure because of how new these strands were, and there was also pressure to find these cures soon due to how fast this virus could have, and in some cases did, move through populations. Shortly after his expedition to Kitum Cave, Gene Johnson says this quote from Louis Pasteur, a 19th century microbiologist, “Chance favors the prepared mind.” This quotation applied to the situation because those who knew how to handle this virus ended up being far more successful than those with no experience. Therefore, the author aims to point out that those who treated the virus with ignorance had created danger by approaching their situations with carelessness, which ultimately leads to

These individuals spent their lives researching cures or vaccines that would protect civilization. It was very admirable that they did this even with them knowing the dangers of the virus. I learned that a hot agent is a deadly virus which has no vaccine or cure.

This was one of the most significant pieces of history that solved deadly viral cases and

approach an arising virus and will never allow another pandemic become as deadly as their

The third and final wave of this lethal killer came in the spring of 1919. Although this mutation was less deadly than its predecessor, it still devastated communities as it continued to add to the death toll. This outbreak was responsible for taking away ten years from the average life expectancy of a person, kept people in a constant panic, and “In its wake, the pandemic would leave about twenty million dead across the world. In America alone, about 675,000 people in a population of 105 million would die from the disease.3” Governments and private organizations both scrambled to find a cure and in 1918 they believed they might have found the source of the virus to be a bacteria rather than a virus. They operated under that assumption until

“Oh ok. So what are we to do now Granger the bombardments of these deadly missiles cleared almost everything. ”

I’m not a scientist, I don’t know how to manufacture a cure, but there are a few here, and outside who do. You would think those with the ability to save us all would, but alas, capitalism still exists amongst the dying. It takes connections and, as I’ve heard, shamelessness to save yourself, but few people here are alive enough to

He looked so calm but I knew he was as scared as me. It wouldn’t take long for the infected to reach us we had to hurry. Hold on a moment I better at least tell you who I am. I’m Kennith Rennell but everyone just calls me Ken. This is my version of what happened to me and my friends Mattie Day and Joyce Carlyle following October 26 year 2050. Over the last few months Matt and I had been working on a vaccine for the corrupt cancer known as G-23. After intense research we found that we could only make a vaccine.

For years people have been looking for a cure for the devastating disease of cancer. Cancer is the third highest killer in the US with over 2,500,000 victims per year. Oncologists and scientists around the country are researching all forms of cancer in an effort to understand, treat, and ultimately defeat this disease. Already there have been numerous advances in the field, such as chemotherapy and gene therapy. One advance has been the use of a cell process known as apoptosis. By harnessing this normal cell process, scientists hope to have found an effective way to combat cancer.

"Well than use it all now. We'll count down from three and use all the might we have," said Ulrich.

In the middle of the fourteenth century, European experienced a disease called Black Death, which killed millions of people in six years. By spreading quickly, this disease affected not only on people’s lives but also on economic of many countries, especially those countries in Europe. Therefore, people found out some cures to end this nightmare disease.

As we busily bustle around our lives, a prevalent problem surfaces, disease. The mournful realization when assessing our situation, is that sick people are polluting the world. Diseases spread like wildfire, leaving a wake of destruction in their path. Our inability to defeat disease highlights the problem, and I have the solution...
