The British government "did not put patient safety first" while covering up a multi-decade tainted blood scandal, leading to thousands of related deaths, a report published Monday found.
“Britain’s National Health Service allowed blood tainted with HIV and Hepatitis to be used on patients without their knowledge, leading to 3,000 deaths and more than 30,000 infections, according to the 2,527-page final report by Justice Brian Justice Langstaff, a former judge on the High Court of England and Wales.”
This happened between 1970 and 1991. If I’m not mistaken, those were the years of the AIDS scare, right? How did this go under the radar in times of such paranoia?

Through lots of lying, most likely.
