				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Tahir-Ali-Javed-ONLINE-640x480.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-218006" alt="Tahir-Ali-Javed-ONLINE-640x480" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Tahir-Ali-Javed-ONLINE-640x480-450x337.jpg" width="450" height="337" /></a></p>
<p>This is the problem with that whole &#8220;Pin a visa on every graduate student&#8221; school of thought. Sometimes that visa turns into a bomb. <a href="http://iowntheworld.com/blog/?p=223815">Other times it turns into</a> a <a href="http://www.omaha.com/article/20140202/LIVEWELL01/140209752/1685">Hepatitis C epidemic</a>.</p>
<p>Dr. Tahir Ali Javed is a politician with the <a href="http://www.pap.gov.pk/index.php/members/profile/en/19/596">Pakistan Muslim League</a> and has been its local Minister of Health and Minister for Special Education, and a member for Protection of the Environment.</p>
<p>Back in America, he&#8217;s known as the man responsible for the <a href="http://www.omaha.com/article/20140202/LIVEWELL01/140209752/1685">largest Hepatitis C outbreak</a> in US history.</p>
<blockquote><p>Even as 99 people tested positive for hepatitis C and five people died, Javed faced no criminal charges. And even as old medical records, several of Javed&#8217;s nurses and several of his victims suggested that the oncologist had long known of the danger — that he had presided over a clinic whose employees repeatedly committed serious safety errors — Dr. Tahir Ali Javed got elected to a new post in Pakistan.</p>
<p>He became a public health minister.</p></blockquote>
<p>By Pakistani standards, infecting 99 people with hepatitis makes Dr. Javed a leading specialist.</p>
<blockquote><p>Investigators eventually determined that Evelyn and at least 98 other people had been infected after Javed&#8217;s nurses repeatedly didn&#8217;t change the syringe while flushing cancer patients&#8217; ports using saline from a community saline bag. Patients told state investigators the saline bag would be clear in the morning, and swimming with pink particles in the afternoon.</p>
<p>Shoddy medical practices, including reused syringes, had earlier been present in Javed&#8217;s oncology clinic, known as the Fremont Cancer Center, according to an earlier audit done by the Missouri Valley Cancer Consortium. That investigation&#8217;s results were shared with Javed in 2001, and then became public during the civil litigation that followed the outbreak.</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s standard practice in the Third World. And it&#8217;s what happens when you use Third World doctors. I&#8217;ve seen this more than once.</p>
<p>But that wasn&#8217;t <a href="http://www.omaha.com/article/20121227/LIVEWELL01/712279912#.UN04ohWfbYA.twitter">all that Dr. Ali Death did</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>The Attorney General&#8217;s Office also accused him of exploiting a patient to conduct a sexual relationship with her. The attorney general alleged that Javed, a cancer specialist, gave the woman a false diagnosis and told her not to seek treatment elsewhere because other providers would inform her insurance company and she wouldn&#8217;t be able to get insurance again.</p></blockquote>
<p>Dr. Tahir Ali Javed did have a great defense. All the people infected with Hepatitis C <a href="http://www.omaha.com/article/20121227/LIVEWELL01/712279912#.UN04ohWfbYA.twitter">were just Islamophobes</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>In Pakistan, Javed became a public health official and reportedly blamed the situation in Nebraska on anti-Muslim sentiment.</p></blockquote>
<p>It works for terrorism. It works for killing six people with sloppy medicine. They just hate you because you&#8217;re Muslim.</p>
<p>And then to top everything else off,<a href="http://www.omaha.com/article/20121227/LIVEWELL01/712279912"> Dr Tahri Al Javed tried reapplying</a> for his medical license in New York.</p>
<blockquote><p>Jean Schafersman of Hooper, Neb., whose son was fighting cancer when he was infected with hepatitis from treatment in Javed&#8217;s clinic, expressed astonishment over Javed&#8217;s New York application.</p>
<p>“How does that work?” she asked.</p>
<p>As for Javed&#8217;s apparent desire to practice again in the United States, she said: “Well, I am not too happy about it.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Obviously another Islamophobe.</p>
