Canada's Red Cross guilty in HIV scandal
Distributed tainted blood killing thousands at time of deal with Bill Clinton's Arkansas

The Canadian Red Cross pleaded guilty to distributing blood tainted with HIV and hepatitis C in a health disaster that has killed more than 3,000 people.

The organization, which distributed the blood in the 1980s, paid a fine of $4,000 for causing more than 1,000 Canadians to contract blood-borne HIV and as many as 20,000 to become infected with hepatitis C.

Clinton Bill and Blood Tainted

Why would I not believe this? It has always been known that under Bill Clinton, corruption was overwhelming in Arkansas.

Just look at the basic facts. It was illegal to sell prisoners' blood inside the US, so Clinton awarded the job to a friend to sell the blood outside the US. KNOWING that there were good chances of the blood being contaminated (since that was why it was illegal to sell it in the US).

This is a disgrace and more needs to be done to apprehend the key players. How on earth could anyone justify selling blood from prisoners, especially unscreened blood. What greedy low-life would do that?

I would also like to know whether the Canadian Red Cross was privy to information on the source of their blood purchase and what measures they took to screen it themselves.

I thought that all blood, even blood sold outside the US, had to be screened? Am I incorrect in this assumption? If not, I think that is just as disturbing as the fact that Clinton allowed it to happen on his watch.

Tainted Blood & Bill Clinton

Don't forget that AIDS was a new disease in the early 1980's. Blood banks were not even warned of a possible problem with the blood supply until 1983.

Had Canada screened blood in the early 1980's, I doubt that the HIV virus would have been known. I know that there were many more cases of the public contracting HIV through tainted blood during this time. The crime is in not screening the blood for the hepatitis C and other diseases, and in selling it to whichever country would buy it. Canada didn't adopt the screening test until 1990, which is extremely negligent, in my opinion.
