richard was a month and he had to undergo a series of treatments. are very cross. side effects mood swings and sweating in. part. to take. drugs. in the 1970 s. a new drug called factor 8 was released to using human blood it promised a much easier life for him affiliate they no longer needed to go to hospital and could self administered the treatment by injection at any time or convenient place . but it had one fatal flaw rebelled which patients knew nothing until too late. one. of your treatment might contain the donation of 4050000

people. a lot of products in the u.k. came from america and one of the things we now know is that the people giving those . people who maybe were in prison. and they encouraged to give that. to provide. this is a result showing that you were 8 feet 3. years and you were. not were you told that you were being. quote region. because. the drugs don't move

and the brutes and ankle supports have saved me a few times because sometimes you walk and you roll your own call and if i didn't have these on i would have very bad bleed. from one girl's. like other people fairly x. martin has problems with joints mainly his knees and elbows caused by internal bleeding. and was diagnosed within a full year about the age of 6 months old. growing go up with him earlier back then for a pair it was a nightmare children there always running falling over buying in themselves and i would have all kinds of internal bleeds and damage to my joints. burden was under constant medical care 1st at birmingham children's hospital and of

your age of 17 he was sent to an adult facility. i remember being in the white american and my name is called out now the doctor doesn't even introduce himself his 1st words were hello r.c. or a child people i didn't understand the significance of what he was saying because i was a healthy teenager a my words to him were all well that's life even goes on to say that your life for the next 2 years and then i said what do you mean by that. and he goes you got 2 years to live. that's when it hit me. so we rode back to birmingham and got a letter that says on it that i was tested in 1900. without my knowledge i was found to be h. on the positive but it also says that i found an old sample of my blood from down to $93.00 and i was positive then. but i could have been working on why i could

have been sleeping with somebody and it would have more to for me if i have infected a girl what gives them doctors the wrong to play god brought about a risk or the people's laws why didn't they tell me. in 1981 i knew had previously unheard of disease was discovered in the united states acquired immune deficiency syndrome aids. in january 982 with the 1st hemophiliacs contracted aids in the us no in more cases have been recorded by the end of the year 8 of which were terminal. despite this great britain continue to import american factories. are you proud of your all the new jump. up and lots of you call him

a for. ever jerry jerry j.j. sure. my dad lived with him ophelia. really did all one thing ame affiliates again is way the time it was kind of an odd thing the song pay for. say here with area carpenter using. saws and swinging. wood around the shop things. you know that sick let me go i was. crazy. i'm very thankful he told those videos because it's the evidence why memory doesn't have. kids he was a father to me and he raised me and was doing everything

a father should. have there i was. in towards the late seventy's he sees concentrates because that's where the doctors are saw him and everyone i'll see use. may 1983 so the 1st reported case of the british hemophiliac contracting the disease. appeared in the press claiming that factor 8 was a safe. in november of 84 he raised concerns about the products with his stopped and they told him this is just sensationalism it's fine you know don't worry they convinced him to carry on using fats concentrate and then it was only shortly after that the his 1st choice v tests came back as opposed to. things just very difficult for a strain on the relationship with my mom you know they'd only got married and

nothing their life went from being one of planning for the future to planning for the end. to see new statements about one of the worst things being the feeling of sticking that. year with relation to their church in the early turks who christian people don't get very for you were. doubts that he was positive felt such fear never felt little it's not the fear of what he might suffer it's it's social it's everything it's children it's housing it's your careers everything is gone it was something to be ashamed of even though we did nothing wrong he did nothing wrong i had been a prominent lawyer locally and then one dart i walked into

a pole to play mama and the landlord just pointed out me and said you get out the pool team i've been playing with but i also don't they're not one of them tried to be for me i thought sick. and i felt dead. this was a classic case of. infomed it. doesn't take away the fact that it made me feel a lot rubbish. my dad lost his job among got sidetracked her job they received hate mail phone calls making fun of. the stigma is incredible it's this whole thing though if you had

a zoom you a gay or you a drug user or some kind of what they sold to be an desirable person. by 9190 nights a verio. you had progressed to a it's only opportunistic infections using off way slowly going through a horrible death. and. by the end of my 3. news news that. jason evans founded the independent campaign group factor 8 its members of the immediate relatives of him affiliates who died because of contaminated blood products his organization provides them with legal help. i really only had one goal

when i got involved in campaigning on this subject i wanted it on the official record what happened could and should have been avoided i think after that point maybe there's room for that as support for people counseling and compensation and all these other things but i think for me. once it's on the record that there is.

in this community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there are no jobs and you see the kids ask and as a parent. i can come up with arguments there's a lot of conflict in the game between the close of the conflict i would say. close one on each other. each other is good because the state of california makes 6000000000 dollars you have to prison complex to get some point in your life where . you don't care. anything. officer. told him to get up off the ground began to. hurt them 1st on the sounds of. the grown man like wrestling essentially.

through his. twisted away from the officer. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the web in one smith's and then when it happened on trace one. i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were back here there again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer is gone and. we can see which it pops my skin to the bottom document to date stamped 10th of september by 976 so very soon after you would be starting it should all go home and we can see the whites have talked to students there was the existence of a risk of hepatitis something your parents were told.

we cash cow and that is dari alfonzo mongery has died. he's died and. he's died on the last one of the page service charge and paid change guard or. at 11 years of age richard went to trial lawyers college a special boarding school for children with disabilities. there's an n.h.s. health center on the campus students could receive the medical care they needed and attend classes all in the same place. it's also the signs of the greatest concentration of contaminated blood cases that the u.k. has ever seen. ready what you say is that you receive significant quantities of fatty rates on a prophylactic base. they were crazy about. aren't 2 real target joints and that was my left made in the right. for our current system why they

would give me consecutive doses day after day. great britain will be self-sufficient in blood products and will guarantee their purity. it was the government's promise in the 1970s. but when she came in that pledge in the name went away and they found a way around the. importing this particular product. all these issues were very often at meetings of 1015 people but they were all held in secret no one was allowed to publish the the minutes of the meetings. the main beneficiaries of that secrecy were pharmaceutical companies. these companies had a huge financial motivation to sow these problems today the facts on. and freight

market is a 1000000000 dollar industry in order for me to say our product is safe for the next companies they needed a trial date that showed we've used this product and it's not infectious and in this country at least the dot is. often as consultants to the pharmaceutical home as there are numerous documents showing that doctors in oxford doctors in cardiff were keen to test facts or a concentrates for infectivity on their patients to all hemophilia since directors . initial production batches may have been tested for infectivity by injecting them into chimpanzees it is unlikely that the manufacturers will be able to guarantee this form of quality control for all future batches it is therefore very important find out why studies in human beings to what extent the infectivity of the various concentrates has been reduced. the reason they used humans instead of chimpanzees

was one because chimpanzees were expensive and essentially patients were free when they don't know their partner experiment we tried to speak to the pharmaceutical companies that produced factory took the time over the last 50 years they have changed names and ownership several times and none wanted to talk about the contaminated blood issue now. what we know now is that the trolls are also conducting tests regularly and keeping records of liver function tests which made you think ok so what are they actually looking for figuring in a safe product or if you want to monitoring how you live. your pretend times are. you a sales are you cd for care i would be looking at these things. out

of the 8090 of us. who went to train those college 72 who died. and people are still dying. from liver related problems to have a charge say. i actually feel guilty i'm still here i asked myself the question why am i still alive when you know 70 percent of aim feel that boy use the rats college. i've had and i don't care and i'm always question yourself why me i why am i saying i live by being allowed to live when so many have and. the official claim was that the new medicines were safe the most emphatic statement

to that effect was from kenneth clark health secretary under margaret thatcher's government. i think someone that really has a lot to answer for as a minister is. the well known kenneth clarke actually stood up for an argument and said there is no conclusive proof. is transmitted through blood products he really needs to answer for putting out that type of misinformation and this was the reply we received from kenneth clocks office chris the club has chosen to decline this request and from the u.k. department of health the infected blood inquiry is a cabinet of its leader and therefore they will be the ones best placed to answer your questions beyond that initial acknowledgement the cabinet office has not responded to our request. and all we could find on the official u.k. national health service website was a report mentioning that victims are entitled to apply for compensation.

2019 and for the 1st time the u.k. government agreed to hear what the victims had to say a public inquiry was opened in london and jason evans group factory is taking part in it is finally happening it's been a long road and this is a this train journey is one that i say him countless times over the last 34 years. even before jason was born his father was aware of the deadly disease. in spite of the risk of causing on the contamination his baby was born. and think about how would i have dealt with what my dad went. next year i'll be the same age my dad was when he died. i think about if i used. it next year at that age that would have been really

a very short life. that weighs heavily on my mind. going 1918 tina and. yes. accident shall we say. the wife knew pretty soon after and she went to see her doctor. where we were advised really in no uncertain terms. to look at. it was all in those few months all mixed up together and at the time we were still reeling from the shock and the implications of dealing with the diagnosis i could have been positive in which case what were we you know we were

bringing look at child at that time to be an orphan if you'd come into the world we didn't know how long we have or the child could have been positive as well as me in which case was it morally right to give birth to a child that i be you know suffered terribly i couldn't walk away from a man who i spose to love just when he needed me most. and once we found out that i was ok afterwards. he. realized that if i was going to be a mother it wouldn't be with richard and i just say with richard he said you're a perfect stream really loving and supportive wife yes she's shifting to me. as. a source of great sadness to you base this being that you have to have children .

to be able to make that. anything you. have to say at the time it seemed easy i didn't feel as if we had any choice sally lacey a thing. but. martin bed was also thinking of starting a family his girlfriend was a nurse at the hospital where he received his treatment. i've got the dial m. of hemophilia pass and not on the don lemon or of a child of a not just infecting her but possibly possibly on to children as well so took

the decision after about a year to split tilt so that hopefully she could go off and have a family of our own and thankfully she did and we're still friends on facebook so you know and she seems happy which is good. missionary very apt rebate and that such a. very loyal dogs rottweilers are very protective as wild. animals are one of the greatest comfort she can ever offer. because she can have the lousiest day in the world when you walk in that house and the dogs pleased to see you. dogs know when you're in i mean i know when you're in trouble and.

it's soothing. the. 2 attempts were made over 40 years to investigate the causes of this medical disaster in the u.k. but so far no one has been held accountable. the current inquiry is goal is to gather evidence the final decision about how to proceed after that will wrist with the government. i have very doubt that what happened was criminal i think the real question is to what degree was it credible i mean nothing bad minimum we're talking about some form of criminal negligence and perhaps corporate manslaughter perhaps as high as murder and i think the inquiry can help direct in some way where where those lines made. their criminal prosecutions have been brought in other countries

and they have been successful particularly in france whether they will be brought in this country i suspect not the reason they won't bring them though the crown prosecution service won't be directed to bring those prosecutions it's because it's widely accepted that they would be successful and the only way they can avoid a successful prosecution is to avoid bringing it up. the public inquiry is expected to continue for at least 2 to 3 years too late for the victims who have already died and to long for those still fighting for their lives every doing morning. first witnesses. he was so bright. i was told about a year to live it was a dark time is so frightfully experience it wasn't

a life. really treasure exams anymore because we did in a few years. i do feel calmer it. came out the. tone swamps it down it's hard enough there is no way should have to do that we just wanted to be with them. i don't believe now is the time to do is to say. no we are small is a recognition of our lives a meaningful compares with a large group which clearly stolen from those.

same wrong one old role just don't hold. the world yet to shape out this day comes to educate and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

let me. give me a bit. more just at home. there's an awful lot in common i'm old but i'm also the most companies you know it's. easy to please when i meet. his compass he must be told most people most even though he goes from didn't you notice him to say he's just put to you i'm sure i. was dumb and i'm going to. mislead. you i don't know you kind of these people will. think they. will tell you a list. so do you see a. new

take on tony. i'm one of them but i think. that's funny as i knew she. loved me and i had a yes. the room gets healed and he has a chicken dad when i say he made

a move. to both of. the approaching calls for a symmetrical response to new u.s. missile testing as tensions grow following the collapse of the. treaty also. french riot police use water cannons and tear gas to get those protesters close to the g. 7 summit the demonstrators of the world leaders take action to tackling the quality of climate change. she had to fight against this capitalist rule the world talk about the fight against inequality but i think this is nonsense. of a dizzying display of. russia's elite aerobatics before the.
