How can fake vaccines protect healthy people? In the wake of the Shanxi vaccine incident, a dispute over counterfeit vaccines has arisen in Jiangsu. Amidst the nationwide efforts to combat drought, the vaccine controversy seems to follow one after another, disrupting the normal rhythm of social life.
The most pressing shortage during severe droughts is water, and fake vaccines also pretend to contain some liquid; both are related to water but have fundamental differences. To some extent, droughts can be mitigated by our greatest human efforts in accordance with natural laws, relying on scientific progress, conserving water resources, tapping groundwater, storing rainwater, and increasing artificial precipitation. Fundamentally, escaping the drought trap still depends on rainfall from the sky. On the other hand, vaccines are man-made and can be fully controlled through science and technology, ensuring they function for the health of the masses. If fake vaccines cross legal and moral boundaries, their harm could exceed that of a drought.
Jiangsu Yanshen Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was found by the National Food and Drug Administration to have deliberately falsified data during the vaccine production process for a long time, leading to a large number of problematic vaccines entering the market, affecting at least 1 million people.
What puzzles me is that Jiangsu Yanshen Biotechnology Co., Ltd., as a high-tech enterprise in Jiangsu Province, specializes in vaccine production (tracheitis vaccine, carbuncle vaccine), vaccines (human rabies vaccine), immunological preparations (short bacillus injection), and influenza virus split vaccine manufacturing. Since 1999, this qualified high-tech enterprise has produced billions of vaccines. Every production step should strictly adhere to standards. Adding an undetectable substance allows the vaccines to pass general inspections but drastically reduces their actual efficacy. This "deceptive method" may not be sophisticated, yet it repeatedly passes as qualified. Common sense dictates that every major event has warning signs. I don't know about the potential collusion between officials and businesses behind this "counterfeit scandal." From appearances alone, public interests once again lose out to profit-seeking.
The root cause of the "vaccine incident" lies in the conflict of interest between manufacturers and the general public. The manufacturers lack moral integrity, prioritizing profit over ethics, disregarding the health and even lives of the masses. The public trusts the fairness of corporate production, leading to significant economic and health losses. It's clear that inadequate supervision of production and the disregard of legal procedures allow all sorts of counterfeiting methods to emerge.
To uphold fairness and justice, and make people's lives happier and more dignified, these principles cannot just remain written on paper or spoken verbally; they must be implemented without compromise. Relevant supervisory departments need to correct enforcement deviations, invest genuine effort, and place the people at the ultimate goal and final destination of the work of our Party and government. Achieving this isn't difficult; relevant personnel only need to keep the strings of public sentiment, public opinion, and public voice constantly resonating in their hearts, preventing local departments from playing games with people's lives.
We believe that with the involvement of judicial authorities, the truth about the counterfeit vaccine incident will be revealed to the public, lessons learned, strict production and accountability systems established, and the fair and just image of law enforcement agencies restored in the eyes of the public, fundamentally preventing such incidents from recurring.
