This is outrageous! Clearly, the Chinese government is purporting a conspiracy against the good people inside of the Chinese pharmaceutical industry. Why, all vaccines are safe and without reproach. Anyone who says otherwise is a nut!
China plans to punish 357 officials implicated in a scandal over vaccine distribution that reignited drug safety fears and highlighted the vulnerabilities in the country’s vast medical distribution chain.
The officials may face demotions or could lose their jobs, the state-run Xinhua news agency said late Wednesday. About 200 people have been detained over the scandal, Xinhua said.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang last month called for an investigation into vaccine supplies after allegations that a mother-daughter team had been distributing shots that may have been compromised due to improper storage and transport. The scandal fueled outrage from parents on social media and on online public forums.
Twenty five vaccines were included in the scandal, including vaccines for encephalitis, hepatitis B, meningococcal disease, mumps, polio and rabies. As a result, scores of deaths have been reported; but the Chinese government have been very hush on releasing actual figures.

The problem of whom to trust is greatly magnified in the opaque country of China– assuming, of course, that there is someone you can trust to tell the truth some of the time.
This is the problem of modern humans. You can’t deal solely with people you know, such that you have learned whether you can trust them. And you can’t deal solely within your own territory which you are familiar with, through your own eyes and ears. You have to deal with unknown things and people often.
So you have to choose who to trust to tell you the truth and to act with integrity. And by the time it became apparent that certain Chinese vaccine distributors could not be trusted, a number of people were dead.
“Why, all vaccines are safe and without reproach. Anyone who says otherwise is a nut!”
eye-roll.
If anti-vaxxers were concerned only with contaminated or spoiled vaccines, they would be called “concerned health professionals”.
Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes and Clinton supporter (just trying to curry favor with the incoming regime) should relocate to China. She would fit right in.
Israel is a better fit for vaporware. China is for companies who sell gutter oil.
Here’s a handy guide:

Rule of thumb in my household is not to knowingly ingest any food product, medicine or whatever made in China. I do like the Chinese policy of capital punishment for corporate execs who indifferently produce products that kill or gravely injure citizens..
“I do like the Chinese policy of capital punishment for corporate execs who indifferently produce products that kill or gravely injure citizens..”
The actual policy, I believe, is capital punishment for corporate execs whose products kill or gravely injure citizens to a degree or in a manner that results in global media coverage of the problem.
As would our government no doubt; but we’re capitalist and I’m not so sure how much control the FDA has over the pharma industry. Unless children are involved.
