Medical doctor charged with diluting children's vaccines
planetc1.com-news

A Medical doctor in California has been charged with cruelty to children for allegedly using saline solution to dilute vaccines for hepatitis, polio, diphtheria and other diseases.

The Doctor was investigated after one of his nurses reported discrepancies in the serum levels in vaccine vials last spring, according to an affidavit filed in superior court. The Food and Drug Administration confirmed the vaccines had been diluted, the affidavit said.

The Doctor denied the charges and will defend against them. The District Attorney refused to comment on a possible motive and authorities believe he had been diluting vaccines since 1997.

Any money the doctor would have saved would be insignificant since the practice vaccinates 35 to 40 children a year. There may well likely have been another motive than money.

The Doctor faces charges of three felonies and one misdemeanor, including a count of willful cruelty to children.
