Fake Vaccines
Added 2016-03-24 04:13:01 +0000 UTCWhen it rains, it pours.
Just when you come to terms with having a baby in China instead of America, news like this comes out.

"According to state media, a mother and daughter from eastern China’s Shandong province have been caught peddling 25 kinds of unrefrigerated vaccines — including for polio, mumps, rabies, hepatitis B, encephalitis and meningococcal diseases — to medical facilities across 24 Chinese provinces since 2010."

China as a 20 something year old single kid makes a lot of sense. Cheap booze, lots of interested girls, awesome food, friendly people...
But when you bring a child into the world, you realize that a lot of the lax laws, and wildness that attracted you in the beginning, is actually potentially life threatening.
Traffic is deadly. Food safety is atrocious. Antibiotic misuse is rampant. And now vaccines are potentially deadly. This news came out directly after I had my new born baby vaccinated... in China.
This level of immorality and corruption is crushing. And I'm having a hard time apologizing for this place anymore.
Thanks for being here laowinners.

It's difficult enough to make good choices when you have a decent chance that you're getting what you think that you're getting. I can't imagine being sane having to trust a system that seems so out of control in the most banal ways.
