Streaky Haddock Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Because even if you can technically make a vaccine sample last forever by constantly diluting it, 90% of people don't realise this, and viruses spread across the station regularly pretty much unopposed.

SocialSystem Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Streaky, the best and fastest way to make a vaccine of sufficient quantities is to inject yourself and another medical doctor and then just use yourselves as blood bags. As your blood has the vaccine, anyone else injected with your blood gets the cure. In order not to pass out from blood loss I would suggest drawing blood from cured patients as you go. I have cured dreaded shit viruses this way before and it seems to work well. Just scream over the radio that you have a cure and they will come.

Regen Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Or make cure grenades and ask people to huddle up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK4.0e004 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 You can also go to chemistry, put 5u of vaccine in a large beaker, fill the rest in water/sugar/whatever, put it in the ChemMaster and make 50 pills. BAM, 50 pills of vaccine. Bonus points if use a pneumatical cannon for express distribution of the medicine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude don't do this unless you are somehow with a crew of O+ type infected or everyone's going to die of toxin damage from blood rejection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocialSystem Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Huh never knew that was a thing, the more you know eh? Never saw someone drop dead from 5 units of blood thou? Would that really do all that much damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudgyglasses Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Depends. Honestly, a lot of people make their blood O+/- for simplicity's sake when it comes to blood transfusions but it would just be some good foresight to make your bloodtype O- if you're going as anything in medbay for this exact reason.

necaladun Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 The toxin damage is pretty minor, and you can add anti-toxin to it if you really want to get rid of it. I've seen plenty diseases eradicated pretty quickly - generally few people notice or remember them. And thats not counting the diseases eradicated via laser fire...

Bone White Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 You can isolate more antibodies from one patient, virologists should keep the corpses of the monkeys they test on, as a massive bank of antibody blood to isolate the antibodies from. Either that or take blood from a vaccinated player, and then extract a vial of antibodies from the blood to redistribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habalabam Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I didn't know that cures could be diluted below 1u. That sure simplifies things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
