South Sudan: 15 children die in botched vaccine campaign

ABC News

South Sudan’s government says 15 young children have died in a botched measles vaccination campaign that saw people as young as 12 years old administering the vaccines.

The health ministry on Friday blamed the deaths on human error. One syringe was used for all the children, and the vaccine was not stored properly.  

The government says all of the children who died were under the age of 5. It is setting up a commission to determine who is responsible and whether victims’ families will be compensated.

The measles vaccination campaign is targeting more than 2 million children across the country.

The World Health Organization provides some training to South Sudan’s health officials and the U.N. children’s agency provides the vaccines to the government.

  1. Even if vaccines were legit. The same syringe for all patients? What is filthier? The single syringe or the people that allowed it?

  2. so, who’s going to prison for murder?

    sure as hell aint the 12 year olds that were told to shoot up these kids

    there is a party(person) that needs to answer for this , and it better be swift and just
    and the Vaccination manufacture better be on the hook for the law suits too

    one of the many industries that can murder you with impunity
    all because one of the side effects that is listed on all their drugs ..is “could cause death” (pharmaceutical industry are murderers and they know it yet keep pushing their shit)

    well folks that Tattooed disclaimer on my back i mentioned before could become a reality for me

    as it will say
    “Fck with me , you die” so all the elite and others are fair warned

    so no prison for me either
