Justice at last as both parties pledge billions to blood victims
The Sunday Times ^ | May 19 | Caroline Wheeler, Political Editor

The prime minister is expected to make an official apology on Monday, acknowledging the failings of the state and the suffering caused, following the publication of the public inquiry’s report

The level of corruption is just staggering. Now if we could just get rid of the guns in the US and get the desired population they want to keep to live off of bugs, we could finally have domestic tranquility.

[[Tens of thousands of people were treated with disease-ridden blood products from the United States in the 1970s and 80s]]

And yet gay people demand they be allowed to give blood and not divulge any aids or hiv condition or any disease for that matter.

Blood is now being donated by those with the highest probability of transmitting disease. These folks are taking medication to decrease the circulating viral load.
This means it may not be detected in testing, but is present.
Since it is present, it may replicate in the recipient.

Not justice.

So many are dead. 12 billion in a fiat currency is not going to cut it.
