“You’re Going To Die Within 12 Months” Contaminated Blood Scandal Victim’s Horrifying Story

‌Talk’s Ian Collins is joined by contaminated blood scandal victim Robbie Brown, who shares his horrific story.
It comes as an inquiry found that the biggest treatment disaster in NHS history “could largely have been avoided” and there was a “pervasive” cover-up to hide the truth.
More than 30,000 people were infected with deadly viruses while they were receiving NHS care between the 1970s and 1990s.
Robbie was given a blood transfusion after his appendix was removed aged 10 in July 1974. He was diagnosed with hepatitis C in 2006, despite records from the time showing he had hepatitis following blood transfusions.
Robbie tells Ian: "I sort of died, stopped breathing for 11 minutes, I was given the last rites twice."

Why wasn’t anyone jailed, it’s all fine giving out compensation but those responsible should be charged and sentenced to prison time.

Jesus, the extent this guy had to go to just to get access to his own records. The amount he’s suffered and had to endure, and he is one of many. It makes you wonder how much is hidden from us all. Incredible story from Robbie

This drawing a line behind which the government will retire, whilst flipping off the victims!
