richard has a form of a rare and severe inherited disorder that. the jury. or even just a bruise irreparable damage. every day richard inject himself with the blood clotting agent factor rate these days. but in the mid seventy's and eighty's a treatment like. 5 people in the u.k. with either. or even both. richard was a monk and he had to undergo a series of treatments. are very difficult cos. 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 a philly x. they no longer needed to go to hospital and could self administered the treatment by injection at any time or convenient. but it had one fatal flaw rebelde 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 were in prison. and i encouraged to give them. to provide. this is a result showing that you were 8 feet 3. years and you weren't. were you told that you were being. 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 probably. drawn on girls.

like other human philly 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 goal with him earlier back then for a parent it was a nightmare children there always were in falling over buying in themselves and i would have all kinds of internal bleeds and damage to my joints. martin 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 us we are

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 a loss. event 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 positive but it also says that i found an old sample of my blood from atlanta $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 up

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 hemophiliac 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 a failure. really did all want. to get his way the time it was kind of an odd thing the song people. say here with area near carpenter using. saws and swinging. wood around the shop the things. that stick let me go i was. crazy. i'm very thankful he told those videos because it's the evidence by memory that doesn't have. kids he was a father to me and he raised me and was doing everything a father should do. towards the late seventy's he sees concentrates because. that's where the doctor saw

him and therefore now 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 he 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 b. tests came back as positive. things just became 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. he took to new

statements about one of the worst things being the feeling of sticking that. with relation to. in the early days christian people don't get i was right you were lower. i mean when we found out 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 paul locally and then one night i walked into a pole to play mama and the landlord just pointed out mate and said you get out the pool tame i've been playing with but i also don't they're not one of them

talked to the family of how sick. and i thought 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 such and her job they received hate mail phone calls making fun of. the stigma was in front of it's this whole thing though if you had a view you were gay or you druggies or or some kind of what they sold to be and desirable. by 9190 nights

a he'd become verio. he 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 that 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 from apes. once it's on the record that there is life. that all. 6 guys are plentiful survival. when customers go buy your dish. well we do some lower. that's undercutting but what's good for market is fuck it to the global economy. seemed wrong. just don't all. get to shape out. active. and engaged equals betrayal.

when some find themselves worlds apart. choose to look for common ground. 0 officer. to get up off the ground serve begin to. hurt them freeze on the sounds of men and maybe a grown man with misleading essentially. twisted away from the officer. of his group. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the weapon once missed and then when it happened on tree swung as i didn't hit him i never saw any contact with you do you any kind went back to where they were so the officers back here there again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer is gonna need to turn tree.

we can see richard's perhaps most clearly important document to date stamped 10th of september 1976 so very soon after you would have been starting it should all of them and we can see that the words hepatitis really sticks with the existence of a risk of habits like to something you or your parents were aware of the time last shot. we cash cow and that is downright alfonzo mongery has died. he's died in. there he's died on lost one of the page service generation paid change dard 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. busy what it. is that you receive significant quantities of patsey rates of prophylactic base. they were crazy about. aren't 2 real target joints and that was my left mate neither of our rights. or 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. when the came in that pledge in the name went away and they found

a way around. importing this particular product. all these issues were very often in meetings of 1015 people but they were all held in secret no one was allowed to publish the minutes of the meeting. the main beneficiaries of that secrecy were pharmaceutical companies. these companies had a huge financial motivation to sow these problems today. the fact concentrate market is a 1000000000 dollar industry in order for the need 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 doctor is. often as consultants to the pharmaceutical home as there are numerous documents showing that doctors in oxford doctors in

cardiff work keen to test facts or a concentrates infectivity on their patients to all hemophilia sense 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 that 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 are they want monitoring how you live. or if you change their rules or you cd for care why would they be looking at these things. out of the 8. 9 hemophiliacs who went to train those college 72 died. and people still dying. from liver related problems rushed 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 the him for that boy use

. college. i've had and i don't care and i'm always question yourself why me i why am i seen 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 kang. the well known kenneth clark 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 krista clarke has chosen to decline through what's been and from the u.k. department of health the infected blood inquiry is a cabinet of its leaders 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's 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. after i 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. oh in 1903 tina and. yes.

the accident shall we say. were new pretty soon after and she went to see her doctor. where we were advised really in no uncertain terms not care to look at. it was all in those few months so mixed together and at the time we were still reeling from the shock and the implications of dealing with the times now sis i could have been positive in which case what would we you know. being an approach child at that time to be in often if you'd come into the world we didn't know how long we have all 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 suffered terribly i couldn't walk away from a man who i s'posed 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 shippers in general. as it. assists a great sadness to you base this be that you have had children. a problem if there. really. anything you would. have to say at the time it seemed easy i didn't feel as if we had any choice. only lazy thing. but hey.

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 diameter of hemophilia os and not all of 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 i would feel a she could go off and have a family of our on and thankfully she did and we're still friends on facebook you know and she seems happy which is good. this is a very very apt rebate and not such

a. very loyal dogs rottweilers. very protective as wild. animals. 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 dog's place to see your. dogs know when you're in 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 sofa no one has been held accountable. for the current inquiries goal is to gather evidence the final decision about how to proceed after that will wrist with the government. i have no doubt that what happened was criminal i think the real question is to walk degree was a criminal i mean nothing a bad minimum we're talking about some form of criminal negligence and perhaps corporate manslaughter. perhaps. 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 fronts 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. it was so frightening. i was told about a year to live it was a hard time is so frightfully experience it wasn't a life. really until you try for exams anymore because you will be dead in a few years so we will actually. i do feel calmer it. came out we'll speak to any. tone just want to sit down you know how it's hard enough there is no way should have to do that we just wanted to be with them.

and i believe now is the time to do is to say. we are supporters of recognition of . the largest group who are stored from those.

well that's my life that you know i started on wall street 40 years ago and i've been living in the log serious life of ever cheaper money ever since literally not having to work a day in my life because. 40 years ago i've gone straight up. give me my. is not old but i'm also the most amazing knows i've been the good news is you know . not emotional when i meet. his compass he must be told yeah most even though he goes from getting notices to see he is pro-u. i'm sure. someone. who sees.

you kind of these people will. always stay. up to your list to. take with me. i'm one of them but i think. news we're buddies. he'd bought on. one of them one night he should have been there stuck.

with them and i don't want that or i can't listen to me as i knew she needed out of community yeah i'm kind of the bloom get you killed any kind of tequila bad girl i am a female to move on to follow the law if you know enough i don't come before i don't mess with. headlining this hour on r c a stunning arrival board a seat at the g. 7 summit in front of iran's top diplomat becomes the french foreign minister's unexpected plus one of the talks as u.s. president doubled from persists with his hardline approach to. the news that shape this week.
