While its all in the eye of the beholder..the talk is that Clinton has had a depth perception problem and has overexaggerated measurements for years....
I dont have a problem with the investment in HIV. its a public health issue , plain and simple. Yes, behavior or lack there of, is a big part of the problem but name me one other public health disaster that didnt have the same challenges..ignorance etc.
If HIV cannot be controlled in third world countries, it will eventually, if not already, have a negative impact to the safety, security and economies of the USA and other G8 countries.
Interesting story that requires a closer look....The 1983 FDA recall of the tainted prison blood from Cummins AR was unsuccessful as little of the bad blood was ever returned. Some of the plasma was used to make factor 8 in Canada for Canadian hemophiliacs but the vast majority was shipped as raw plasma/cryo paste to be exported to other countries to manufacture gamma globulins, albumin and fibrinogen.
During the Royal Commision into the tainted blood tragedy in Canada, Krever uncovered that the recalled plasma was sent to Spain , Switzerland and Japan.
The dots continue to be connected to.............:0
evening, so not responding to your earlier email. glad your travels went well. Enjoyed your visit very much! congrats again too Grandpa!
On the blood story, the settlement is very near, just negotiating legal fees. Unfortunate that some victims had to shoot the messenger on this one but folks have waited for a long time for help. this settlement doesnt stop the prison blood lawsuit that of course has Bubba in the middle of it.
sorry, that's not true, it was well known that surrogate markers and liver enzyme AST's and ALT's could screen out many tainted donations. In fact the hep B test was highly effective in screening out HIV as many people that had HIV also had HBV. These tests were routinely ignored at the Arkansas prison during the 1980's and many positive HBV prisoners were allowed to continue to donate because they would switch their 'pig tail' blood sample with another prisoners blood to pass the test. Records were also altered by prisoners to continue to let infected prisoners to donate. Its well documented from FDA reports at the time.
