How much money do these companies save by purchasing animal based drugs from China? Don't we have enough pigs in America slaughtered and regulated by government agencies? We don't have a perfect system but still, it beats rural mom & pop animal chop shops in China where hygiene is the last thing on people’s minds. WE ALL know that China "knocks off" everything from Prada handbags & Rolex watches to CDs & DVDs. They are truly masters of illusion when it comes to products. They even go so far as to knock off UL labels and put them on faulty extension cords used extensively during Christmas. Manufacturing companies in communist China are under tight & complete government approval, from financing & land sales to "ownership" selection. So ultimately it seems the government has no qualms about pirating, polluting or tainting any product so long as it makes money. I can understand importing the cheap products we love to buy at Wal-Mart but I am shocked by how many products that are ingested into the human body originate from China. Even sucking candy! Personally I would NEVER intentionally ingest any of these products and I think until China cleans up it's act, America should ban them from being sold here. The Europeans and Americans have established standards that will take generations for China to achieve. Their first step has to be GENUINE desire and that, again, is the furthest thing fro their minds. I just don’t get it.

That makes a lot of sense when the shot is for sexually transmitted diseases. And the new Gardisil vaccine? It is making a lot of girls very ill and around 11 have died. Doesn't anyone get the fact that if the government won't give the customers to the vaccine makers for profit, the manufacturers threaten not manufacture it at all. It is a scary fact. The bottom line is get the vaccines for diseases that are WELL TESTED AND NECESSARY and skip the other ones.

They do all this because of 19 deaths of adults from this drug yet they continue to pump vaccines into our kids, which injure 800K nationwide each year. Wow.

Check out the CPSC.gov recall page and see how many recalled products are made in China. Unfortunately, stores like Walmart sell almost entirely Chinese goods. Its not possible to buy something at a dollar store not made in China. Made in China = crap!

No matter what it is - clothes, electronics, you name it. Although it is becoming more difficult these days to find products not manufactured in China.
