For someone whose life has been shattered, Hiroshi Shimizu is remarkably calm. In a cramped Tokyo law office, the subdued, bitter man in his 30s—using an assumed name for the interview relates how he became infected with the HIV virus from tainted blood products sold by Japanese hospitals to hemophiliacs during the mid-1980s. "I was raped," says Shimizu. "I never thought doctors would give me bad medicine. " last year, Shimizu was shocked when a doctor newly transferred to his hospital broke the news. Four years earlier, he had asked his previous doctor if he could safely marry. "He told me: ’There’s absolutely no problem,’ even though he knew [I was infected]," Shimizu says. "I could have passed it to my wife. " Luckily, he hasn’t. Shimizu is one of more than 2,000 hemophiliacs and their loved ones infected with the deadly virus before heat-treated blood products became available in Japan. It’s a tragedy—and now it’s a national scandal. In recent weeks, the country has been rocked by charges that Japanese drug and hospital companies kept selling tainted blood even after theAIDS threat was proved beyond a shadow of a doubt.Even worse is the charge that the Japanese government knowingly allowed this dangerous practice as part of a policy to protect domestic companies from foreign competition. Japan’s bureaucrats are already under attack for their role in the banking fiasco.As theAIDS scandal unfolds, Japanese confidence in government could erode even further.Big settlements in a related lawsuit may also set a precedent in otherAIDS liability cases around the worlD、 The origins of the tragedy go back to 1983.By then, scientists were closing in on the virus that causesAIDS, and U. S. health authorities mandated that all blood products be heat-treated to protect hemophiliacs and patients from infection. Japanese authorities were concerned as well: the Health & Welfare Ministry formed anAIDS study group headed by the country’s foremost hemophilia expert,Dr. TakeshiAbe. RAINAND、SLEET. What happened next has only just been revealed, thanks to an investigation by new Health Minister Naoto Kan.According to investigators, the ministry group on July 4, 1983, recommended banning untreated blood imports. Since no heat-treated products were then available from Japanese companies, the group also advised allowing emergency imports of heat-treated blood from companies such as U. S. drug giantBaxter International InC、 But a week later, the recommendation was reverseD、According to memos recovered from the records ofAtsuaki Gunji, then head of the ministry’sBiological & antibioticsDiv., the recommendation was overturned because it would "deal a blow" to domestic companies. Japan’s marketers of blood products bought imports of untreated blood—and they did not have their heat-treatment processes yet. The ministry insisted thatBaxter conduct two years of clinical testing in Japan before it used its new heat treatment there.Domestic drug companies, led by Osaka-based GreenCross LtD、rushed to develop their own treatment processes. Meanwhile,Baxter and other foreign companies that already sold untreated blood products in Japan had to continue the practice if they wanted to stay in the market. The recent revelations have sparked some startling events in a country where discussion ofAIDS is still largely taboo. In February, health Minister Kan made front-page news when he officially apologized to HIV-infected hemophiliacs and families who had staged a 72-hour vigil in rain and sleet outside the ministry. |

In mostAmerican cities, the tent for a one-bedroom apartment was $250 or more per month in recent years. In some smaller cities such as Louisville, Kentucky or Jacksonville, Florida the rent was less, but in larger cities it was more. For example, if you lived in LosAngeles, you had to pay $400 or more to rent a one-bedroom apartment, and the same apartment rented for $625 and up inChicago. The most expensive rents in the U. S. were in New YorkCity, where you had to pay at least $700 a month to rent a one-bedroom apartment in most parts of the city. Renters and city planners are worried about the high cost of renting apartments. Many cities now have rent-control laws to keep the cost of renting low. These laws help low-income families who cannot pay high rents. Rent control in the United States began in 1943 when the government imposed rent controls on allAmerican cities to help workers and the families of soldiers during World War II.After the war, only one city—New York—continued these World War II controls. Recently, more and more cities have returned to rent controls.At the beginning of the 1980s, nearly one fifth of the people in the United States lived in cities with rent-control laws. Many cities have rent-control laws, but why are rents so highBuilders and landlords blame rent controls for the high rents. Rents are high because there are not enough apartments to rent, and they blame rent controls for the shortage of apartments.Builders want more money to build more apartment buildings, and landlords want more money to repair their old apartment buildings.But they cannot increase rents to get this money because of the rent-control laws.As a result, landlords are not repairing their old apartments, and builders are not building new apartment buildings to replace the old apartment buildings.Builders are building apartments for high-income families, not low-income families, so low-income families must live in old apartments that are in disrepair.Builders and landlords claim that rent-control laws really hurt low-income families. Many renters disagree with them. They say that rent control is not the problem.Even without rent controls, builders and landlords will continue to ignore low-income housing because they can make more money from high-income housing. The only answer, they claim, is more rent controls and government help for low-income housing. |
