  • The infected blood scandal was "not an accident" - and its failures lie with "successive governments, the NHS, and blood services", a public inquiry has found.
    From the 1970s, 30,000 people were "knowingly" infected with either HIV or Hepatitis C because "those in authority did not put patient safety first", the inquiry's report said. Around 3,000 people died.
    Prime Minister Rishi Sunak offered a "wholehearted and unequivocal" apology to the victims of the infected blood scandal, saying it was a "day of shame for the British state".

    Government needs to be abolished over this and start again. Individuals responsible should be imprisoned over this.

    We have an illusion, that all doctors are ' good '. And the govern-ment is meant to help. Also research Tuskegee Experiment in th US. Alot of people in authoritative positions are 'self serving' , not 'sevice to others', and 'power over others'. my heart goes out to all these courageous ,strong people who have treated so ....I struggle to find a fitting word.
    In the past, I thought that 'evil' just was not a real thing. Then someone explained a new idea - 'evil' is ' live' backwords. Had never occurred to me til that moment. Some people just sem to be against ' live' or life. Some people find joy in creating and building sandcastles, and a few appear to enjoy knocking them down and destroying.
    Love and light to all involved.
