Scandal with rabies vaccines against rabies and diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis shook China, the BBC reported. The Chinese Food and Drug Administration said that it had stopped producing rabies vaccines produced by Changchun Baikotehnologi after being found to have falsified data related to the manufacture of the preparation. So far, there is no evidence that the vaccine has led to disabilities, but the results have caused serious panic in the country. The vaccine is also available for young children. Chinese Premier Li Kutsian personally handled the case and called for "severe sanctions" and "zero tolerance" for the company whose stock plummeted by more than 10% in hours. He pointed out that the company had "crossed the moral line". "We will resolutely end criminal and illegal acts that endanger people's lives, we will severely punish offenders in accordance with the law and will strictly criticize the shortcomings of legal surveillance," he said in a statement. The Chinese Food and Drug Administration has stated that rabies vaccines have been removed from the market and that the manufacturing company has already started an investigation.
At the same time, the authorities of Jilin Province announced that a batch of vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough of the same company in 2017 did not meet the established requirements. According to CGTN state media, more than 250,000 doses have already been sold to health centers in East China. The production of this vaccine is funded by the state and is intended primarily for children. The company will have to pay a fine of 3.4 million yuan ($ 510,000). It is unclear how many children have been vaccinated with the preparation of the problem, but there is no report of illness after they have been injected. Producers apologize and say they are "guilty and worried".
Cardiovascular and oncological diseases as well as AIDS will be the leading causes of death in the 21st century, reported RIA Novosti, citing data from the World Health Organization. Experts say that 41 million people die from non-infectious diseases each year, accounting for 71% of total mortality. The largest share of cardiovascular diseases is 17.9 million deaths. According to WHO, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world. In 2015, 8.8 million people died of oncological diseases, that is to say every sixth of deaths. AIDS also remains a major cause of global mortality, with 36.7 million people infected in 2016.
