as 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. my hands. and from there. he. question but the basic law i know enough to use computer no no no. if i was lying when i had tubes over two years old it looks like it's part of the bricks but it actually is what i miss in a blue fame make it look like you doing hair on the sun. you know i have the science on though we will go in the money and it's
4:30 am
a draw. to just next person last summer the 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 yeah they don't eat an ice hockey for about three to five minutes a day you chase and again. you know you got away to the next couple days backed out in the past three months. i give of this blast so i can get their fix everybody i feel their body with this way i see the people selling drugs they are used to this they love because some of fat that means walk the pharmacy there even if you know even if. they clientele gas somewhere to go every time they make some money ok listen. you give me your car yacht the plasma car. i'll give you a bit. because i know you go is going to get loaded on there i'll go make sure that
4:31 am
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 with it trafficking exploitation health risks for the donors. is dr 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 us to interview the
4:32 am
north. and they you know walk because they thought it was something that they stopped and they go all right ok what the hell's going on all you guys to be professionally with your cameras to interview this place i mean what do you got. we're doing t.v. documentary about class and class maddow in ours their complaint that they call it complain that if they felt like you were harassing the arrests in the dorms coming out management just advise 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 donor. how does all this affect the drugs we use what control do we
4:33 am
have over imported plasma. first of all we want to see tomorrow to show her images . around the state. even if they was to test them for drugs not sure. why. and i don't approve great the last round. of the out. clearly show. it. to seek out pay ok let me put this. up with a good omen throw kosoff at the district to have the. yeah obviously you also faith do not leak out of the make up on lake at eight a you'll already be feeling to start that lake at this whole thing with you guys.
4:34 am
you know. this to cut this low that i'm always here on this group at. the swiss medic experts reassured us that the plasma for swiss drugs didn't come from paid donors. was in need of all people. the. shine of all to talk about. it all is still i'm sure that. all those those old. opals. it's all to spend going to see the. old savages does it as unique i don't know i mean i mean both sides to all but it's all the spin from the top of the spending don't mean a hit you know that as. of those that missed the submission to the. civil
4:35 am
rights for all but the been committed it's bits. and you're. in the 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 that pre-fab unsound don't depress mouth they. do and you know that's not the fun see. that's just what he said this is style and if i'm not so good and just creation of us if truth and if. he spent it in the media about itself if you didn't need to us the house and.
4:36 am
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 experts don't know more about it was if it is as you know assault clinic the dome. was it as unique this is said by example though. not in. this. book does it make sense for the legislator to ask so few questions in 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. you know the piece to sell it.
4:37 am
at a sample reporting a. slice of the sky that you're able to see it's all smiling and yet you don't if you can most likely get to see the need for the full face shown just as 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 . dean of the faculty of medicine of those 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. me. they would get me. to do.
4:38 am
it but there's a. key. both to. zero risk doesn't exist. as we are reminded by the scandal of contaminated blood that hit europe including the swiss red cross and friends. and. don't enough don't get. lucky. if you don't need to acknowledge all three you don't want. to meet all of you lose . it all after the scandal sanitary checks were increased world wind. the plasma pools are now cleaned using methods that are said to be highly efficient. news or no profit
4:39 am
yes shoot nudes. shortage frugal me and get you to sit down to see john's i.q. are is a hematology 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 good cause and the that division in its most. minute me at all yesterday just as hold up avoiding to do so in a very measured nic and you've got to fix your piece to keep it. simple. and you know. this is it makes no sense to people you know people are going to just. you know that's.
4:40 am
the ministry. in the city. 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 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
4:41 am
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 decisions to. basically privatized or move into a private management of these types of of donation systems.
4:42 am
4:44 am
despite the chicks being in place the experts cannot rule out the possibility of a new virus this fear for health care is a main feature of the new was in france in july two thousand and fifteen the farmer obtained the liberalisation 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 michelle most said he the director of the powerful federation of volunteer donors. so. you know. what you want to show that she didn't you don't. even deserve it and you can see. us it's only.
4:45 am

4:46 am
where he ended up i thought even if as we keep now they cost money we need help but don't know if. this is one of my own chickie would be by most it doesn't. depress mouth. if it will feel the need to come out of you have not yet to show you this only pass you off ask if you can cross i mean seen them. come from in. just about school i found out here sha g.c. i hope he goes to three of our children who. didn't supes dogs couldn't get the field video game oh. they had to. get all of. their kids. let's look at dr spock you might notice him so mr obama played on to be efficiency of a. pet store to get that son might get a fuel to new fields only need to lose you know two new quick look less mock you
4:47 am
see how he had a fabric suppressed most of all the. oh close he ended up being you know. market liberalization 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 body. it is a kind of a. yapping. about if. it. will have an office if that was your mind if you're just on our properties the only the best thing to do is if you could leave the
4:48 am
building at the moment and then not 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 octo 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 company's methods. on the plasma markets
4:49 am
up to pharma isn't the most important player but it's sales. they've already reached one point five billion euros and are sorry it's business practices have often rounds the authorities suspicions. on the many associate through this without this get your usual fee but didn't think you did you don't. get it. you know. 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 band pyar 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
4:50 am
worrying the french donor federation. has first hand experience of the swiss company sensibility over this matter. not us you know we cooked the hell my. new summit we need to do now five of. them east with us all to. book a. machine she did a potted plant called new old weapon in moline greg a place you don't defeat us us city folk got to have us we must be so negative please. don't kill every day bucky a new to me she'll. be an east bushell doll i see who he is in the film. why he don't use alternate earth she knew. that he. should not get it cecil quickly. he
4:51 am
or she had it she should lead to about either mission to disappear or not to the queen and yes the. no way that if you know. she could have all seen it to prophesy why exactly. development 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.
4:52 am
to logon to me tell. me to get it it's been for the nines on my list. i know. vince gong margaery was incommunicado he asked the police to let us know couldn't tack. doesn't. sleep in them on like i'm out of this yeah please. just. so our questions will remain unanswered the origin of the plasma its payment the risks linked to donor poverty drug detection and the likelihood of new epidemics. why doesn't dr pharma provide. any answers to the questions of tomorrow and
4:53 am
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 says down no government checks. so what can we do not the basil my still be running
4:54 am
let's go get a couple dollars out of right wing tap is our real. best film what they don't. 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. say 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. the plasma industry means their distress. inseparable. them
4:55 am
a call there to look after. would enter the chicago minutes which matt. smith that makes. for me to shame. to see. if you know. it down kitty does it have new book anybody's. crewed don't recall next it. been a bird she don't accept. i don't we're on to frame the shift is already a reality the blood of the poor going into the veins of the rich. kids. to. say.
