industry terms the money paid to donors is compensation not payment 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 survive. feel sick and keep it that people often sometimes don't do the best match they. do and you know that's not the fancy. that is irish this is and if i'm not so good and he's produced in the us the truth and if. he spent it in the media about itself if you didn't need to us the house and. a system c.e.o. of. a plasma master file a several hundred page document in which the origin of the plasma is listed countless technical details but nothing about the reality visibly the swiss medic
10:08 pm
experts don't know more about it was if it is as you know assault clinic the dome. was it doesn't eat this is said by example. which i think also it's best. not in. this. book does it make sense for the legislator to ask so few questions the industry hides behind the trade secrets 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. peace to sell it. at a sample of points you. made yeah. that's a table that suits all swine and at any difficult. you get to see the need for the

10:12 pm
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 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
10:13 pm
u.s. 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 decisions to. basically privatized or to move into a private management of these types of of donation systems. i'm john harshman and i'll give you what the mainstream media can't the big picture will go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. rejected tonight is a comedy gold and not the fact by the corporate media. would you go after the

10:18 pm
of get that son might get a mess you will tune feel totally neat on as you do new quick look less mock you see how he had a fabric the suppressed muscles on the. oh close he ended up being you know. market liberalisation increased sanitary risks what does act of pharma 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. it is a kind of a. yapping. about if. it. will have an office if that was your mind if you're
10:19 pm
just on our 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 come back with us with through the appropriate through the appropriate channels ok so you will answer my questions we will as you wish you just said that you will answer all questions. upon the police's request our camera man left the premises. the head of communications asked us to ask our questions in writing promising us he passed them on to the shareholders. clearly nothing is decided without the approval of market share the founder and single owner of dr pharma. the company doors closed to us once more. we had a long list of questions not only with regard to the sanitary risks but also the
10:20 pm
company's methods. on the plasma markets up to pharma isn't the most important player but it's a. they've already reached one point five billion euros and are sorry its business practices have often rounds the authorities suspicions and. notes on the many associating through this without this get you to be. in the zone. 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
10:21 pm
continues its activities in brazil. such political connections are worrying the french donor federation. has first hand experience of the swiss company sensibility over this matter. not us how we could to help my. new family to need to. have a. nice little to. book a. machine id she did a potted plant called new old weapon in moline gregor the place you don't defeat us us city folk to have us we must also nadya's you must look these. key a new to me see lucy and he and if you should put east. a seal he. why he don't use alternate earth. that he he he. should not
10:22 pm
get it cecil quickly. he or she had it she shouldn't about either the mission not to disappear not to the queen and yes deep. no way that if you know. she could have all seen it before see my exact take up with. developments is ultimately. when we visited the headquarters to find the promised answers to our questions 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.
10:23 pm
grown logon to me tell. me to get it it's been for the nines on my list. i know. i don't. visit gong margaery was incommunicado he asked the police to let us know couldn't hack. it doesn't. sleep in them on the. left yeah please. just. so our questions will remain unanswered the origin of the plasma it's payment the risks linked to donor poverty drug detection and the likelihood of new epidemics.
10:24 pm
why doesn't dr pharma provide. any answers to the questions of tomorrow and thousands of patients. 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 on. what outlining nothing will. you see when the market crashes everything shuts down
10:25 pm
no government checks. so what can we do not the plasma my still be running let's go get a couple dollars out of right wing tap these are real. the film what they want to know that. mark was relieved he could finally give his plasma and he received twenty dollars. below is your blood pressure it was pretty good i wrote it down it was less than you have to. so you know it was one twenty nine over eighty two which is pretty good what are you going to do now do you want to go home and rest yeah i pretty much want to take it slow i was thinking about me to go home or regroup might take a quick power nap you know that got a thing. mark and tamara are connected by an invisible thread and.
10:26 pm
the plasma industry means their distress. inseparable. them a clerical craft is he should same he would enter that especially don't commit such matt smith that makes. me to shame. to see. if you know i'm also. a bit down kitty does it tell us of a new book anybody's. crude don't recall and accept the. goal to be neighbor doc she don't accept the. i don't we're on the bob due to frame the shift is already a reality the blood of the poor going into the veins of the rich. few. days.
10:28 pm
it's called the feeling of. every the world should experience. and you get it on the old the old. the old according to just. look at the modern world cup i am sure there are. good politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press this is like the full story in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the lawyers in the house. so i should more.
10:29 pm
i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories that our critics can't tell and you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american public what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working.
