Just as China's Lunar New Year is being rung in, the ruling communist party is facing another major healthcare scandal.
One of the country's state run pharmaceutical companies found the HIV virus present in an estimated 12,000 doses of immunoglobulin treatment, an immune therapy treatment made with antibodies from blood plasma. The state-owned Shanghai Xinxing Pharmaceutical Company, China’s second-biggest medical blood products manufacturer, notified authorities on Tuesday of the news, according to China's National Health Commission.
In response, the National Health Commission (NHC) warned hospitals to immediately suspend use of the batch after the provincial health commission and disease control center of eastern China’s Jiangxi detected traces of HIV in it.
This contamination is the latest in a long line of shocking failures by the Chinese healthcare system, which has included the deliberate use of expired polio vaccines on children to save money, a scandal which eventually forced President Xi to apologize, especially after public anger spilled over, resulting in protests which ended violently for the parents involved.
But that paled in comparison with July’s vaccine scandal, in which 252,600 faulty rabies vaccines made by Changchun Changsheng Bio-technology, one of China’s biggest vaccine firms, were administered to thousands of toddlers.

China's communist party and their state owned pharmaceutical companies suck IMO.. A few countries in Asia bought the rabies vaccine from China last year and it was worthless for preventing or eradicating the virus. If I had a dog I hated I would buy dog food made in China and watch him die (sarc) ... everything from baby formula to Polio vaccines if it has a made in China label buyer beware...

I’ve never trusted any pharmaceutical or vitamin that comes from China. I just thought it would be manufactured with drywall, but this is horrific.

Funny you should mention that.... There was a time when drywall was in short supply and American suppliers were buying Chinese drywall.. Well I do not remember all the problems they had with the drywall once installed.... but they stopped buying the stuff shortly there after.

This sounds wrong. The rabies vaccine is not routinely administered prophylactically. It is administered when someone has been exposed (bitten by an infected animal).
Rabies vaccine is given to people at high risk of rabies to protect them if they are exposed. It can also prevent the disease if it is given to a person after they have been exposed. Rabies vaccine is made from killed rabies virus. It cannot cause rabies.
