Canadian Hep c scandal - bill clinton

what do you make of this?


Clinton's Human-Rights Crime
SourceURL:http://worldnetdaily.com
By Joseph Farah

This week the Canadian Red Cross issued a weak apology for killing more than 3,000 people with tainted blood.

The organization was fined $4,000 for distributing the plasma tainted with the AIDS virus and hepatitis C.

That an organization as prominent as the Red Cross could get away with mass murder is bad enough, but the international press never bothered to scratch beneath the surface of the story. No one bothered to ask the simple question: From where did this tainted blood originate?

.

Even a cursory probe would lead directly to a former president of the United States - Bill Clinton.

As only WorldNetDaily reported, Bill Clinton was at the center of a scandal in Arkansas in the 1980s involving the sale of contaminated blood to Canada - blood that would be distributed by the Red Cross.

As governor of Arkansas, Clinton awarded a contract to Health Management Associates to provide care to the state's prisoners. The president of the company was a long-time friend and political ally of Clinton and was later appointed by him to the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission. Later, he was among the senior members of Clinton's 1990 gubernatorial re-election team.

Health Management Associates struck a deal with the state, signed by Clinton, to collect and sell blood from Arkansas prisoners. Because of the exploding AIDS crisis, U.S. regulations did not permit the prisoner blood to be sold legally within the United States. But HMA foun

Worldnetdaily?? You have to be kidding...these are the same wingnuts who accused Clinton of killing Vincent Foster, dealing drugs, and assorted other fantasies. You might want to consider the source.

The second post is welcome news from the "reality-based" community of scientists who actually engage in empirical work...until some of the wackos at worldnetdaily start shrilly accusing them of moral transgressions for creating viruses in a test tube.

Scott,  I just addressed a status report to Scruffy down in the "Stamina" thread.   All and all  I think I'm getting through this fairly intact physically and emotionally strong after 52 weeks of  treatment challenge.   A bit unflappable, maybe?   Of course, we'll see, won't we...

How's your new Zen existence going?  Has your wife got you burying banana peels at the feet of the roses yet?

Mikeymike, that's just where propaganda items masquerading as straight "news" should be disposed of.

Without question this was a tradegy! But to accuse someone so far out of the loop is ridiculous. Please--this is nonsense! A Bill Clinton appointee oversaw a program. Somebody else handled contracting and the Canadians didn't test the blood. Pity the victims and shame the distributors.
