For some reason, hemophiliacs seem to get the raw end of the stick when it comes to tainted treatments. This story reminds me somewhat of the tainted blood scandal in Canada in the 90's, where it was revealed that the blood supply was contaminated with HIV (presumably due to HIV+ persons donating blood). Since it wasn't common practice at the time to screen blood for HIV, it was being transfused into anyone who needed blood. The revelation of this forced much more rigorous testing of blood and refusal to accept blood from high risk individuals.
This case does seem to be a bit different. I'm not sure I understand how a manufactured drug could become tainted with HIV. It seems the drug was injected into hemophiliacs. Perhaps the making of the drug involved the processing of human blood samples. It would seem clear that if the documents prove that Bayer knew about the contamination, then they should be held responsible. (I will choose, for now, to ignore the possibility that the whole thing is fake). I would be curious to see more of the evidence in this case before trying to make any conclusions. |
