Attention - Clinton experts. Is this connected to the Arkansas prison bad blood sales while Clinton was Gov?

Bttt

[CheneyChick]

If my memory serves me correctly, the tainted Arkansas blood from the prisons was sold into Canada and much evidence was clearly documented -- they knew they couldn't sell it to the U.S., so they exported it. Sick...... Don't remember anything about Bayer being involved.

A-G ~~~ does it sound to you like there might be a connection?

[tiamat]

Don't know but if it is, it ought to be shouted from tthe roof-tops.

Anybody have the origionals on that? I've lost mine....

I'd ping Askel5, but she was purged.

Hmmm. A lot of those links are dead, but this one still works:

Your memory does serve correctly. Interestingly, the building that held the records that were to be examined to trace the responsiility for selling the blood burned down mysteriously with all the evidence inside.

Is that like an enema?

Hopefully Bayer will lose their collective shirt in this suit. I find it strange that they continued to sell the blood products to the little brown and yellow people after they stopped selling it to the tall white blonde people...NOT.

This blood business is old news. The plaintiffs in this class action were parties to a 1996-97 class action and more than 6000 of them were paid $100,000 a person (more than $600 million in total). Others maintained private lawsuits (more than 400 of them) and all have now been resolved. This has nothing to do with Clinton and Arkansas. This California lawyer is a Johnny come lately (likely a Dem) who is looking to pick up a fee to go away.

This could certainly lead toward clinton and the Arkansas prison blood scandal, but it's not clear whether the plaintiffs have that intent. There's one sentence I find interesting:

"As of 1992, the contaminated blood products had infected at least 5,000 hemophiliacs in Europe with HIV."

As we all know, 1992 was a politically significant date. There's no explanation why the article chooses that particular date for its statistics.

[CheneyChick]

Oh well, whether it has something to do with Clinton or not, it is good to keep the word out there about what happened in Arkansas.....

We will never forget.

its a shame when a proven resource isn't on hand to assist
