Enterprises forced to buy Chinese flu vaccine

Heads of enterprises make workers to “chip in” for a Chinese flu vaccine, which no one wants to use.

The story of a “fake vaccination” of children in kindergartens and schools gathers like a snowball – viewers of charter97.org have shared their stories about flu vaccination. In particular, it has turned out how the state finds additional money for buying Chinese vaccine cheaply by wholesale.

“Because of the strong pressure from higher authorities, heads of enterprises which are loss-making, transfer money to health care institutions for purchase of flu vaccine for their workers. It’s just for their higher authorities, so that they get off their back. But as said by the head of our business, they would not vaccinate their workers, as people refuse to do so. And no one will vaccinate them by force. So it’s the stupid Command and Administration System. Some people make money on that in fact. Otherwise, why should somebody be compelled to be vaccinated? If a chief executive decides he does need that, no one will exert pressure, he will transfer money himself, and even bring his workers to an out-patient hospital. But the situation is: one of the loss-making enterprises has arrears in salaries, debts for electricity and other payments, but the money for the hated and unnecessary vaccine has been remitted. So who is to gain from this muppet show?” – our reader from Minsk is filled with indignation.

“I can confirm these reports, every year district sanitary inspections demand a certain per cent of persons to be vaccinated in the district, and it is “recommended” outspokenly to buy this vaccine and immunize workers, and then report about that and provide information, otherwise… you know what will happen. And no one dares to oppose them anymore, as it's more trouble than it is worth … And this situation lasts for several years,” another viewer writes.

In addition, new details of how “beautiful” figures of the number of vaccinated are created in district out-patient hospitals.

“When my sister worked as a nurse in an out-patient hospital, her administration exerted pressure concerning vaccination, on her and her colleagues as well. And they flushed off the vaccine to the toilet, and it their reports there were 99.9% of people vaccinated in their district,” a reader from Maskouski district of Minsk told. A reader from Baranavichy confirms that they have the same situation with reports and reality.

“A week ago, when I was waiting to see a doctor in an out-patient hospital, a nurse asked me to sign a document, as if I had been vaccinated against the flu. I naturally refused. So they try to get scores with the help of adults as well. By the way, 100% of children in my son’s class refused to be immunized… So they are trying to collect signatures, and vaccine is thrown away, as it had been bought by the state budget…” a 32-year-old patient of a Minsk out-patient hospital #26 writes.

We remind that a few days ago a large-scale vaccination against flu started. This year the state plans that 3.5 million Belarusians are to be vaccinated.
