Today we learned it could largely have been avoided.
The inquiry chair, Sir Brian Langstaff, pointed to the sheer scale of the tragedy, calling it "horrifying".
At least 30,000 people were infected with Hepatitis C over the 1970s and 1980s. And 1,300 were infected with HIV, including 380 children. More than 3,000 people are estimated to have died from infections attributed to blood or blood products, many of them haemophiliacs, given tainted blood as part of their treatment.

Do not ever allow the government to touch your kids without your knowledge. Please
-
This is why whistleblower should be protected by law!
-
There should be no such thing as “too late” to press charges for murders

The UK is a lawless country. My sister who was an NHS nurse was given overdose morphine. She went into a coma. We were deterred from removing to a private hospital. Instead, they added oxycodone the next morning. We pleaded help. The doctors refused and she died at King George hospital in Ilford, UK. We asked for hospital records. They destroyed everything and lied that our sister was in a coma before she was brought to the hospital. NHS is a death trap. As an American nurse, it was the most inhumane treatment I had ever witnessed. No respect for a patients request. Unfortunately there is immunity for the doctors

I am an American and can’t understand why the people are satisfied with an apology. Did anyone go to jail? How can the school that experimented on children still even be open. It should have been shut down and those teachers, administrators, and doctors should have been stripped of their credentials and spent time in prison!

This was no accident. This was done on purpose.
-
The uk medical system needs a full investigation
-
This is absolutely inhumane 😢 I can’t imagine why the school is still open!!! 😡
-
Took them over 40 years to admit this 😡
-
40 years to get to the truth........DISGUSTING !!!
-
This is outrageous. Crimes against humanity. Disgusting. Shameful.
-
Absolutely disgusting!
-
The deeper you dive into this scandal the more horrified you become. Shame on the UK government.
-
No one is jailed? And this is what they called “justice”? Gaslighting at the highest scale. Murder is murder.
-
This is so horrifying that it becomes scary ...If an individual had acted with such negligence and caused the death to so many they would have been in prison but yet here we are with just an apology and recommendations . The insult is truly dreadful .
-
I can't listen to this, it's heartbreaking. My thoughts are with all the people who lost loved ones. This is a disgrace, this is not justice. This was covered up for decades and now all the people get is an apology. Those involved should be in prison. I really am so sorry for all that lost loved ones and who suffered because of this.
-
Are you kidding me. They are doing it all over again with covid jab injuries.
-
Saying sorry is not enough! All the perpetrators should be held accountable and sentenced!!
-
Don’t murderers go to jail anymore?
-
No charges, no accountability, no justice!
