At the meeting, blood bank representatives were said to have disputed the CDC s claims of a tainted supply citing a lack of hard evidence. For the next two years debates raged between the CDC and the FDA over whether to force the NHF to implement testing measures, and hemophiliac patients as young as 7 years old died from AIDS tainted blood transfusions. Similar situations occurred regarding the government s unwillingness to demand testing for Hepatitis. As I said previously, nothing's perfect. No one is perfect.

These things happen. All we can do is learn and move on. Instead, we like to sue someone. Someone surely must be responsible for everything that goes wrong. What the hell, we pay enough taxes that nothing should go wrong.
