I'm amazed the BBC actually even covered this.
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."

There are enough victims in Canada for a class action suit.
Wonder why the victims - or their families - have not taken action.
I'd forgotten about the tainted blood from Arkansas. Thanks for posting this.
I'm a Haemophobic.

(Clinton Involved In Arkansas 'Blood Scandal') book after book etc. etc. etc.....
The Clintons are not nice people; never were and never will be. If it weren't for the MSM; PSSSSSST Mag.; Hollywood etc. cramming the name down our throats hourly, these two trashy people would have disappeared long ago - Propaganda 101!
America doesn't want them.
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.
Wallaby's excellent bit of research (with plenty of "real time" cites and science embedded within) Is the Blood Trade Responsible for the Spread of the AIDS Epidemic?
