I'm amazed the BBC actually even covered this.

but in being given that treatment I was given a death sentence

No. Your death sentence was just moved up.

Everybody dies, kiddo. Take the philosophical train out. There's peace on it.

"The Government of the day acted in good faith, relying on the technology available at that time, and therefore we do not feel a public inquiry would provide any real benefit to those affected."

The govt of Arkansas didn't act in good faith. They continued to ship tainted blood after it was well known that it was dangerous to do so. There won't be an inquiry because Bill Clinton and some of his cronies would wind up in prison.

As WorldNetDaily reported, Bill Clinton was at the center of a scandal in Arkansas in the 1980s involving the sale of AIDS-tainted blood to Canada, which was distributed through the Red Cross.

As governor of Arkansas, Clinton awarded a contract to Health Management Associates to provide medical care to the state's prisoners. The president of the company was a long-time friend and political ally of Clinton and later was appointed by him to the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission. Later, he was among the senior members of Clinton's 1990 gubernatorial re-election team.

The death toll from the tainted blood has grown since the figure of 3,000 was calculated in 1997, but recent estimates are not available, the Associated Press reported.

Duplessis said the organization accepted responsibility for "having distributed harmful products for those that rely on us for their health."

Didn't realize that Arkansas blood made its way to the UK.

There are enough victims in Canada for a class action suit.

Wonder why the victims - or their families - have not taken action.

"...was treated with infected clotting agents in the 1970's ...

I don't like to pass up a legitimate opportunity to bash Bill Clinton, but the HIV and Hep C viruses were unidentified at that time and so could not have been screened out of donated blood.

I'd forgotten about the tainted blood from Arkansas. Thanks for posting this.

The real shame is that our Drive-by Media know all about this. That's why they're going out of their way to promote Clinton's new role as HIV and Health crusader extraordinaire. They're allowing him to CYA, and "atone" for his past, in one swell foop.

I remember a few things about this. Governor Clinton sold a lot of tainted blood drawn from prisoners to Northern Canada and other foreign countries. The Arkansas prison doctor collected a lot of evidence but with "the fix in," he was afraid and wrote it up as a novel. His house with all the evidence burned down about the same time as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police warehouse containing all their evidence burned down.

I remember Newsmax had interviewed some prisoners - the prison re-used needles without sterilization. The prison blood product factory was like a horror house of prison infections passing to every prisoner who participated and ensuring that a high percentage of the blood product was tainted.

Then Governor Bruce Babbitt was doing the same thing in Arizona colluding with Governor Clinton. Later Clinton appointed Babbitt as the United States Secretary of the Interior.
