They're completely untrustworthy. It's not unlikely they would want to contaminate other nations," said Khamenei, the country's highest authority. "Given our experience with France's HIV-tainted blood supplies, French vaccines aren't trustworthy either," Khamenei said, referring to the country's contaminated blood scandal of the 1980s and 1990s.
