China jails 8 for selling fake rabies vaccine after boy dies

This is a big story not just because of the awfulness of selling fake rabies vaccine (which led to the death of a five year old boy) but because China is again taking a hard stand on face pharmaceuticals.
They sold over 530 fake injections; the little boy had had six, and would not have died had they been properly formulated. The fake vaccine was apparently mostly water.
Awful. But yay to the Chinese government on this one.
