this is what we discover inside the machines interrogate the donors the volunteers answer the medical questions at electronic terminals one single physical examination measuring blood pressure. this is mainly to avoid the donors fainting while donating blood which would slow down the entire chain. not a single chair in the room is empty an endless stream of donors with no time to recover after the donation twelve hours a day seven days a week. in view of such summary checks everything is based on what people say pay donations entailed a certain risk they encourage donors to lie about their health. such compensation also attracts a high risk population that sometimes has secrets to hide. and i began to be a very. pm eastern for
12:30 am
a fair question but the basic law no enough. computer yes and no no no to say. if i was lying when i had to move over two years old it looks like it's part of the bricks but it actually is what i miss in a blue faint make it look like i'm doing err on the side. you know i have the science on though we will go in the money and if it dropped. to just next person a last summer to big bang around here is k two. and so you know me even if they was the test now for drugs they don't show up and they don't eat an ice hockey for about three to five minutes a day you chasing the game. you know got away to the next couple days backed out in the past three months. i give up display. thinks.
12:31 am
the people selling drugs they are used to. because some of. the farmers even if you know even if. they clients will gas somewhere to go every time they make some money ok listen. you give me a. plasma car. i'll give you a bag. because i know when you go is going to. make sure that you go because i'm not going to take no type of losses i won't drop you off in there i'm drop you off there make sure you get into your pay work and anomalies because i know i normally get my money for sure and when you don't you can come back again we do the same process again. and this is how the blood business attracts the drug business and all that goes
12:32 am
with it trafficking exploitation and health risks for the donors. to farmer aware of all this we wanted to ask them if they noticed traces of drugs in their donors plasma. but it's still impossible to get access tensions rise the security services asked us to leave which we did. why was our presence bothering them so much. you know they don't like to interview. and they you know why because they thought it was something that they something they do all right ok. well for you guys to be professionally with your cameras to interview this place i mean what do you got. we're doing a documentary about class and class. and their complaint. that they call it
12:33 am
a plane that if they felt like you were harassing the arrests in the doors coming out management just advised that they want you guys you guys trespassing which means if you walk out of the parking lot they will have their security sign charges against you guys for trust that's fine but they thank you very much yes very much. back in switzerland there are many questions about compensation exploitation and concern about donors how does all this affect the drugs we use what control do we have over imported plasma. first of all we wanted to see tamara to show her our images. around the state. for drugs. ok. and they don't approve create the best. of the oh clearly show.
12:34 am
it. to seek out pay ok let me put this. up a good omen throw kosoff at the district to shift the. obvious that you also do not leak out of the make up on lake at eight a you'll already be feeling to start that lake at the seasonal thing with. this to cut the slope at. the swiss medical experts reassured us that the plasma for swiss drugs didn't come from pay donors. will tell you that all people. find it all to talk. but all that is still i'm sure that. all
12:35 am
those those old. opals. it's all to spend at least i'm going to see that quote even though it's old a bit savageness a pledge event is it as unique i don't know i mean i get them both sized all the bits all the spin from the top to spend the good don't mean a hit you know theo's it as it is. of the submission this ignition to the models and provides for it all but the been continuous bits of it. nor are any real. industry terms the money paid to donors is compensation not payment for a play on words in germany for example donors may receive a small fee which is limited to three times a month but the fees offered in the usa are much higher enough to let the poorest
12:36 am
survive. keep that prefab and sound don't depress mouth they. do and you know that's not the fancy. that's just irish this is south and if i'm not so easy and just creation of us the truth and asked. to spend it in the media about itself if you didn't need to us the house and financial. system see of. it don't see the plasma master file a several hundred page document ten which the origin of the plasma is listed countless technical details but nothing about the reality visibly the swiss medic experts don't know more about it would have it is as you know assault clinic don't . it doesn't it this is said by example doctor. and. this. does it make sense for the
12:37 am
legislator to ask so few questions the industry hides behind the trade secret keeping the authorities in the dark. and. the socialist congressman j.f. steer is an expert in the swiss health system he finds the pharmaceutical industry's lack of transparency an acceptable option out in all to pieces to sell it. at a sample reporting a movie made yeah that's why it's all in the script that you're able to it's its own swine that he's on because it really gets to see the need for the for the strongest has to last opacity profits lack of monitoring to what extent is public health at risk through this system what threats does it pose to patients and donors. danielle t.
12:38 am
so dean of the faculty of medicine of lowe's and university has long been head of the city's blood center although he was generally reassuring he pointed out the risks as. some sort of press maddon any thinking. what a few me. off a would get me could the us here on new government to deny. the city about to get better share. with that. he said putting at hollister a key that d.t. don't know maybe desh hard. both that. zero risk doesn't exist. that it will do as we are reminded by the scandal of contaminated blood that hit europe including the swiss red cross and france. had to do so in the. don't get. me don't enough don't get what i was called
12:39 am
a lot. did. it feel the need to acknowledge all three you don't want. i mean if all of you lose you see the political. front and the movie that you did after the scandal sanitary checks were increased world wind. the plasma pools are now cleaned using methods that are said to be highly efficient. new sort of stuff it will. suit need you can use. the shortage of me in that he does and does it. is a he metallic just in lille he's head of the blood center for the north of france the largest transfusion center in france he's one of the people traumatized by the blood contamination scandal in a very difficult day that division in its most.
12:40 am
minute. yes what if this does hold up a boy and it was only a. fixture of his own to keep it up. to you know keep in. mind. this it makes no sense. people are going to just buy drugs. you know that's. all. of them in this show. and also because. today the checks are considered effective at least as far as known risks are concerned but if there was a new virus slipping through we could spread more quickly due to globalization. to reduce these risks wouldn't the best way be for each country to produce its own plasma that would be preferable according to the world. health organization
12:41 am
self-sufficiency is definitely one of the aims that show promotes in terms of the goal that countries are trying to get to the goal is not self-sufficiency soley for self-sufficiency sake it's because systems that are self-sufficient tend to be safer and tend to provide better access but there are many parts of the world that are not self-sufficient and have to depend on outside sources for for blood donation and so for us it's an aim that much of the world needs to work towards but we're not there yet. however much the w.h.o. may state the importance of self-sufficiency the world market isn't following the us is exporting more plasma and soon europe won't be able to do without this cheap raw material. in many parts of the world they've made decisions two in particular in europe and several countries some scandinavian countries france are making
12:42 am

on nuclear weapons on syria on iran on energy on trade. still exist. ricos treated as one. of. the island is controlled by the us government and some puerto ricans crave independence gentle it was. good at either way it. still many do wish to join the us hundreds leave every day. with the country at
12:44 am
a crossroads for anger of the island is on the rise. despite the checks being in place the experts cannot rule out the possibility of a new virus this fear for healthcare is a main feature of the new was in france in july two thousand and fifteen. in the liberalization of the market the swiss company was authorized to sell its plasma and the drugs derived from it to all french hospitals until van the french blood center had had the monopoly this intrusion is worrying. the director of the powerful federation of volunteer donors. so we in a sense would you want to show that she didn't you don't. know all of the little bit more. it will help us it's only known.
12:45 am

12:47 am
a fabric suppressed most of all the. close ended up being you know. market liberalisation increased sanitary risks what does act a farmer have to say in response to these fears after many months of investigation and countless requests the company still refuses any interview. we went to their headquarters located in the time in the canton shits. on the issue in my book bali. it is a kind of a. yapping. about it a. lot better because if that was your mind if you're just all properties the only the best thing to do is if you could leave the building at the moment and in as thomas sit we will consider your questions and
12:48 am

12:49 am
a. have already reached one point five billion euros and are sorry its business practices have often rounds the authorities suspicions. on the meaning of the city through this without getting healthy. i think you'd be. at the end of two thousand and fifteen the former portuguese prime minister was arrested for corruption. allegedly received funds from iraq to farmer when he was a consultant in brazil where the swiss company was involved in a huge case known as the blood vampire scandal aka pharma is suspected of bribing ministry of health officials the case has still not been judged and the company continues its activities in brazil. such political connections are worrying the french donor federation. has first hand experience of the swiss
12:50 am
company sensibility over this matter. not us you know we cooked the hell my. new summit we need to. have a. book. she did a potted plant called new. weapon in moly greg a place you don't defeat us us a to poke guard to have well just when you must piss on a daily mattresses and took these. in if you should police to szell dalam a seal he. why he. he he. should not get it sealed quickly. he or she had it she in chimp show question ed about either miss you not get to disappear not to the queen and yes the.
12:51 am
no way that if you know. she could have all seen it to prophesy why exactly. two developments is ultimately. when we visited the headquarters ought to find the promised answers to our questions a few weeks later the head of communications informed us that none of them would be answered without explaining why. there was only one solution left travel to heidelberg both gone margaery is home.

12:53 am
out of nineteen if. i'm cleveland sidewalks these questions seem to reserve. selling their plasma will always be a lesser evil to those with no choice. for as long as people in europe and elsewhere need plasma the pharmaceutical industry will meet their demand. to see america everything has to be rationed out. without mining nothing will. you see when the market crashes everything shuts down no government checks. so what can we do not to basil my still be running let's go get a couple dollars out of right wing tap is our real. best film what they don't.
