China's Latest Vaccine Scandal Shows The Flaws Of Socialized Medicine

In China, vaccine production is heavily subsidized by the government and vaccines are given to children through the government's mandatory vaccination program.

Only last November, another major Chinese vaccine maker, the state-run Wuhan Institute of Biological Products sold 400,520 inferior DPT vaccines to several local government agencies, which were then given to countless children through the state-run vaccination programs.

The Chinese government insists that there are no reports of any children falling ill after being given the latest batch of substandard DPT vaccines.

The Chinese government, while punishing the drug companies gently, spends its energy and resources on censoring Chinese parents from complaining about the vaccine scandals or even researching any vaccine related information.

The Chinese government also bans coverage of the latest vaccine scandal in print media.

Between the tainted milk scandal several years ago that made 300,000 babies sick and the current vaccine scandal, Chinese parents are fed up.

Now with the vaccine scandals, Chinese parents once again choose to trust a free market economy like Hong Kong.
