In the 1970 use a new drug called factor 8 was released to using human blood it promised a much easier life for him affiliates 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 rebelled 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 maybe were in prison. And i encouraged to give that. To provide. At. Least as a result. 3. Years and you were. Not were you told that you were being not. Because. The drugs dont 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 didnt have these on i would have very bad bleed through one 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 hemophilia back then for a parent it was a nightmare children theyre 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 and of your 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 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 made if id have infected a girl what gives them doctors the wrong place to play god but that im risk all the peoples laws why didnt they tell me. In 1981 the new and 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 9 more cases have been recorded by the end of the year 8 of which were terminal. Despite this Great Britain continue to a board american factory. Are you proud of your all the new jump. Up and lots of you call him. Ever jerry jerry j. J. Sure. My dad lived with him ophelia. Really did old one thing aim affiliates again is way out of the time it was kind of an odd thing the song people. Say he was there carpenter using. Saws and swinging. Wood around the shop things. You know that sick let me go i was. Crazy for. Ameri thankfully he told those videos because its the evidence why memory doesnt have. Kids he was a father to me that he raised me and was doing everything a father should do. In towards the late seventys he sees concentrates because. Thats where the doctor saw him and everyone ill see use. Maybe 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 his 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 v. Tests came back as opposed to. Things just very difficult for a strain on the 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. You took in your statements about one of the worst things being the feeling of sticking that. With relation to. Its in the early days christian people dont get i was right you were lower. I mean when we found out 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 bring a prominent 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 ive been playing with but i also dont theyre not one of them thought to be for me i hope 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 dads 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 few you were gay or you druggies or or some kind of what they sold to be an desirable person. By 91992 hed become verio. You had progressed to a 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 theres room for that as support for people counseling and compensation and all these other things but i think from apes. So they want on the record that there is liability and then ill be satisfied. Join me every 1st day on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport im show business ill see you then. There was a very nice show from president putin that i could have said no thank you or i could have said thank you and i said ill take it and now its time to introduce my its not special. Dont travel thank you says very much for the. Name whatever you want to name i mean i dont know how when i come that the news thats to some of us telling our combat or recorder or e. Network thats totally dishonest c. N. N. Is you know 100 percent negative i can read this change fast changes so fast sometimes ill say thats going to be a great story be a pretty good report and others good as you. Will see what happens. I always say who knows what well see on the field it will be success. We can see which perhaps most clearly important document to date stamp 10th of september 976 so very soon after you would have been starting it should all come 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 time martial. We have cash cow and that is dari alfonzo mongery has died. Hes died and while its going there hes died on mars one of the page turners generation paid change dard. 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 signs of the greatest concentration of contaminated blood cases that the u. K. Has ever seen. d what it. Is that you receive significant quantities of fats the rates of prophylactic base. There are crazy about. Arent 2 real target joints nose mild left me me of our rights. Our Current System why they would give me consecutive doses day after day. Great britain will be selfsufficient in blood products and will guarantee their purity. It was the governments promise in the 1970s. When she 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 meeting. The main beneficiaries of that secrecy were pharmaceutical companies. These companies have 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 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 were keen to test facts or a concentrates for infectivity on their patients to all hemophilia since 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 dont 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 trial lawyers 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 taste sales are 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 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 him for that boy use the rats college. Ive had and i dont care and im always question yourself why me i why my son 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 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. Type of misinformation and this was the reply we received from kenneth clocks office krista clock has chosen to decline this request 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 on see or 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 causing on the contamination his baby was born. After i 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 of it next year at that age that would have been really a very short life. That weighs heavily on my mind. Oh in 1918 i see there and. Yes. Accident shall we say. A word i knew pretty soon after and she went to see her doctor. Where we were advised really in no uncertain terms. To not go ahead. 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 youd come into the world we didnt 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 be you know suffered terribly i couldnt walk away from a man who i spose to love. Just when he needed me well. 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 shippers in general. As it. Assists a Great Sadness to you base this feel that you have to have children. A problem if there. Really. Anything you would. Have to say at the time it seemed easy i didnt feel as if we had any choice. Only lazy things. But hey. 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 dial lemmer 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 were still friends on facebook so you know she seems happy which is good. This is a very very apt rebate and not such a. Very loyal dogs rottweilers are. 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 dogs place to see your. 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 sofa 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 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 were 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 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 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 wasnt. Really a treasure exams anymore because we would be dead in a few years so we will actually. I do feel calmer it. Came out well switch to any. Town school and sit down 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 do is to say. We are supporters of recognition of. The largest we stored from those. So you should be seen in here and a whole lot more if you dont take. Your born in. The family if youre born into a family. That. Every day you meet your needs and the needs of your family. If you. Are. Im really happy that a company with some cheap and sundry its is now looking to the horizon its great to see that theyre widening the scope of their interests and shift some of their focus too much in high tech fields. In d. C. To azerbaijan both declare martial law as a decades old territorial conflicts between them flares up again. And in our review of the week in office for the United Nations russias new covert vaccine for free.
