  • Authorities in the UK covered up the infected-blood scandal, knowingly exposing victims to unacceptable risks, a report has said.
    The five-year investigation accused doctors, the government, and the NHS of letting patients catch HIV and hepatitis.
    More than 30,000 people were infected, from 1970 to 1991, by contaminated blood products and transfusions, and about 3,000 have died.
    Sir Brian Langstaff, who chaired the inquiry, said the scale of the scandal was "horrifying" and the authorities had been too slow to respond to the risks.

      In 2022, the United States' export of blood products alone has created a value of US$43.1 billion, which is only US$8.5 billion less than semiconductors. The United States accounts for 5% of the world's population, exports 70% of the world's blood, and provides 94% of the world's paid plasma. . The main blood providers in the United States are actually private prisons and drug rehabilitation centers in the United States. Coupled with the current social and drug situation in the United States, one can imagine the quality of these blood products.

      They never fire or prosecute anyone. Same thing every time. Remember the Pakistani rape gangs that our police assisted? Were any of the police prosecuted? Were any of them fired?
      If no one is fired or prosecuted, then that is a clear message that this was done by design and on purpose.

      In the UK, autologous blood donation, where a person donates blood for their own use, is possible. This is typically done before surgery and is considered the safest type of blood transfusion. However, preoperative autologous donation is not routinely available in the UK and is more common in parts of Europe and the US. Another method practiced is cell salvage, where blood is collected during surgery and retransfused back to the patient. Directed blood donations, where donations are made for a known individual, are generally not supported by UK Blood Services, except in rare circumstances.

    This doesn't surprise me at all. In the UK and Ireland, a doctors' title and the prestige that goes along with it is the most important thing to them, not patients.
    Any error or unflattering event that happens is not only ignored and covered up, but often added prestige is heaped on the doctor. Coving up for your boss is necessary for advancement. Heaps of awards, additional titles, and praise are also bestowed on the greatest offenders.
    Not one country outside of former British colonies has adopted the British medical system and Royal Collages, that is not an oversight or coincidence, it is because it is a system that only benefits the doctors.

    My friend contracted hepatitis C after getting blood products in fla. 1994. Died in 2010. Terrible. Sorry for all who lost someone. Greed. Just like now, they have plasma donation centers on every corner in the poor neighborhoods. How much of that blood is tainted?

    As a patient within the NHS on regular treatment. Just over the last 5 years the figures they report on as the required minimum or maximum wait time, treatment time etc are much much more forgiving. I was told for 7 years my bloods must be tested within 3 days of treatment as it was unsafe. Now it’s suddenly 3 weeks prior as they haven’t got enough chairs for the amount of patients under their care. This needs reforming immediatley, I have consultants complaining to me about the lack of care for cures and all the money is now spent on drugs contracts rather than research. Only cancer research remains given funding whilst every other condition is being left for permanent lifelong drug treatment for profit.

    This is just sad and I hope that we come up with something even though nothing they will do will change those that are not here anymore and those that it affected. We have so many things going on now days and how this got by us is beyond me.
    The other sad part is many things hind within our systems and my not show any signs for many until it's to late.
    They should hold the government accountable especially if these individuals were doing check ups. Mind you not all have stayed over there either and have moved all around the world. I mean this is from the 70"s to the 90"s. How did they come up with the number 1500?

    What I believe is that the previous doctors did not realize how lethal and highly infectious the preciously unknowing disease was. The HIV had been newly emerged. But some doctors did not raise the alarm when they discovered the scandal and silenced themsevels

    Well it's only taken 50 years to admit it. Still credit goes to Sunak who did sound genuine in his apology. The likelihood of criminal proceedings seems small though, given the time that has elapsed. Financial compensation won't replace those who have left us either. It is indeed a day of reckoning, I hope those in charge really do learn from this. I doubt it, mind.

      Ken Clark on oath still maintains that there wasn’t any conclusive proof at the time that Aids was in the blood supply that was imported from the USA, but Labour at the time was begging for Ken Clark to release £5 million for a new blood distribution centre in 1984 to treat haemophiliacs with pure British blood products that at the time had the minimal chance of HIV being in the wider British population he said no it’s too expensive
