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 place. But it had one fatal flaw or about which patients knew nothing until too late. One dose 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 donations were. People who maybe were in prison or jerky. And i encouraged to give that. To provide. At. Least as a result. 3 positive yes and you werent. Its not where you told that you were being not. When both include keep my eye on whos quite rigid. Because the drugs dont move and the brutes and ankle supports have saved me a few times because sometimes you wall and you roll your own call and if i didnt have these on i would have a very bad bleed. From one girls. Like other human 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 parent it was a nightmare children are always running 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 Childrens hospital interview age of 17 he was sent to an adult facility. I remember being in the White America and my name is called out now the doctor doesnt even introduce himself his 1st words were hello us we are a child people i didnt understand the significance of what he was saying because i was a healthy teenager a my words to him were all well thats a lot 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. Thats 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 a man 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 morty for me if id have infected a girl what gives them doctors the wrong to play god brought up a risk on the peoples laws why didnt 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 on what if you call him a for. Ever jerry jerry j. J. Sure. My dad lived with hemophilia. Really did all won the game affiliates again his way the time it was kind of an odd thing the song people. Say here with area warnings in the air cartons easy. Saws and swinging. Wood around the shop things. You know that sick let me go i was. Crazy. Im very thankful he told those videos because its the evidence by memory that doesnt have. Kids he was a father to me and he raised me and was doing everything a father should. Say there i was. In towards the late seventys he sees concentrates because thats where the doctors are saw him and everyone else see use. Main 1803. 00 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 its fine you know dont worry they convinced him to carry on using fats concentrate and then it was only shortly after that the his 1st choice the tests came back as opposed to. Things just very difficult strain on their relationship with my mom you know theyd 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. Her church in the early turks who christian people dont get very sick for you or. Doubts that he was positive felt such fear never felt little its not the fear of what he might suffer its its social its everything its children its housing its 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 night i walked into a pole to play mama and the landlord just pointed out me and said you get out the pool team ive been playing with but i also dont theyre not one of them tried to be for me i have sick. And i thought dead. This was a classic case of. Infomed it. Doesnt 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 was incredible its this whole thing though if you had a view you a gay or you a drug user or some kind of what they sold to be an desirable person. By 9190 nights a hed become verio. He had progressed to a its 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 hemophiliacs 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 theres room for that as support for people counseling and compensation and all these other things but i think from apes. Once its on the record that there is liability. Time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability its a very important. Transition to sustainable transport sustainability. A more equitable and sustainable. They claim their production is completely harmless. It. Companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is just. Wrong. To shape our. Trade. Worlds apart. Common ground. We can see which perhaps most clearly important document the date stamp 10th of september 976 so very soon after you would have been starting it should all and we can see the words have the tightest rights was the existence of a risk of have a tie to something you or your parents were aware of the time martial. Cash cow and that is dari alfonzo mongery has died. Hes died. Hes died on lost one of the page service charged and paid changed or. d at 11 years of age richard went to Trial Lawyers College a special boarding school for children with disabilities. Theres 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. Its also the site of the greatest concentration of contaminated blood cases that the u. K. Has ever seen. What it. Is that you receive significant quantities of fats are a prophylactic base. For a crazy approach. Arent too real target joints and that was left made the right. For our Current System why that would keep me consecutive doses day after day. Great britain will be selfsufficient in blood products and will guarantee their purity. Was the governments promise in the 1970s. When government 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 fact concentrate 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 weve used this product and its 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 work keen to test facts or a concentrates infectivity on their patients to all hemophilia since directors. Initial production bunches 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 dont 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 to be one to monitoring how you live. Or if you trace their rules are you cd for kanwar with looking at these things. Out of the 80. 90 of affiliates who went to train those college 72 died. And people are still dying. From liver related problems to have a charge say. I actually feel guilty im still here i asked myself the question why am i still alive when you know 70 percent of the hang for that boy use. College. Ive had and i dont care and im always question yourself why me i why am i seen i 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 ClarkHealth Secretary under margaret thatchers 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. Child misinformation and this was the reply we received from kenneth clocks office and krista clark 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 on see 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 its 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 passing on the contamination his baby was born in. And think about how would i have dealt with what my dad went next year ill be the same age my dad was when he died. I think about if i was to die it next year that age that would have been really a very short life. That weighs heavily on my mind. In 1918 tina and. Yes. The accident shall we say. 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 being in a could child at that time to be an orphan if youd come into the world we didnt 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 couldnt walk away from a man who i spose to love just when he needed me in worlds. And once we found out that i was ok afterwards. He. Realized that if i was going to be a mother it wouldnt be with richard and i just say with richard he said youre a perfect stream really loving and supportive wife yes shes shifting to me. As it. Assists a Great Sadness to the pace the speed that you have to have children. To be able to make that. Anything you. Have to say at the time it seemed easy i didnt 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. Ive got the diameter 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 were still friends on facebook so you know and she seems happy which is good. This is a very 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 you can have the lousiest day in the world when you walk in that house and the dogs pleased to see you. Dogs know when youre in i mean i know when youre in trouble and. Its 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 were 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 wont bring them though the Crown Prosecution Service wont be directed to bring those prosecutions its because its widely accepted that they would be successful and the only way they can avoid a successful prosecution is to avoid bringing it to. 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 day morning our 1st witnesses. It was so bright. I was told i had about a year to live it was a dark time is so frightfully experience it wasnt a life. Really treasure exams anymore because we did a few years so we will actually. I do feel conduit. Came out meals to any. Town school and sit down in the house hard enough is no way should have to do that we just wanted to be with them. And i believe now is the time to justice. And all we ask for is recognition of our lives a meaningful recompense for the largest we have supremely stolen from us. Its going to be hard. And were going to have to work at it but people recognize. What. Systems need to. I hope people will start fighting. Saying we wont tolerate systems. In our homes that cant possibly track what were doing. People. Must obey the orders given by human beings except where such conflict with the 1st. Point. Must protect its own existence or. If youre born into a poor family. Family if youre born into a family that has a single parent that really constrains your life chances. Every day so you meet your needs and the needs of your family.
