The infected blood scandal was “not an accident” but the result of a series of shocking failures followed by a “pervasive” cover-up, a scathing report into the biggest treatment disaster in NHS history concluded today. The Mail has more.
More than 3,000 have died and many continue to suffer after tens of thousands of vulnerable patients were infected with HIV and hepatitis from contaminated blood products during the 1970s and early 1990s.
A damning report today identifies a litany of failures covering multiple governments, prominent politicians and health organisations, with victims repeatedly lied to, misled and ignored, and children treated like “objects for research”.
Inquiry chairman Sir Brian Langstaff’s 2,527-page report was published this afternoon after decades of brave campaigning from victims and their families.
His searing findings will heap further pressure on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt to immediately settle the estimated £10 billion compensation bill for those affected.
Sir Brian said that the contaminated blood disaster is “still happening” because patients who suffered “life-shattering” infections continue to die every week.
He said: “In families across the U.K., people were treated by the NHS and over 30,000 were given infections which were life-shattering. Three thousand people have already died and that number is climbing week by week. Lives, dreams, friendships, families, finances were destroyed.
“What I have found is that disaster was no accident. People put their trust in doctors and the Government to keep them safe and that trust was betrayed.
“Then the Government compounded that agony by telling them that nothing wrong had been done, that they’d had the best available treatment and that as soon as tests were available they were introduced and both of those statements were untrue.
“That’s why what I’m recommending is that compensation must be paid now and I have made various other recommendations to help make the future of the NHS better and treatment safer.”
Key failures highlighted in the report include:
- A failure to act over risks linked to contaminated blood – some of which were known before the NHS was established in 1948;
- The slowness of the response to the scandal; for instance, it was apparent by mid-1982 that there was a risk that the cause of Aids could be transmitted by blood and blood products but the government failed to take steps to reduce that risk;
- Tests on blood were not introduced as quickly as they could have been;
- Patients and the wider public were given false reassurances;
- People with bleeding disorders were treated without proper consent and research was carried out on them without their knowledge;
- Children with bleeding disorders who attended Treloar College, where pupils with haemophilia were treated at an on-site NHS centre, were treated as “objects for research”. The report said these children were given “multiple, riskier” treatments. Other children with bleeding disorders were also given treatment “unnecessarily”;
- Regulatory failures, including the licensing of dangerous products, and failure to remove them from the market when concerns were raised;
- Instead of ensuring a sufficient supply of U.K.-made treatments for haemophilia, the NHS continued to import the blood clotting blood plasma treatment Factor VIII from the U.S. – where manufacturers paid high-risk donors, including prison inmates and drug users. The U.K. blood services continued to collect blood donations from prisons until 1984;
- In terms of blood transfusions, blood donors were not screened properly and there were delays in blood screening. Too many transfusions were given when they were not necessarily needed.
Worth reading in full.
Too many of these failures echo those being raised by doctors and other experts in relation to the rushed Covid vaccines – the latest in a string of major medical scandals. When will people learn that their beloved NHS doesn’t love them back? Powerful interests in medicine conspire to keep patients in the dark about what’s really going on – perhaps in the hope that they’ll be long gone with the profits and paycheques before the public learns the truth.

”Sir Brian said that the contaminated blood disaster is “still happening” because patients who suffered “life-shattering” infections continue to die every week.”
From the 1970s and ’80s? And how many of these people dying ”every week” took the death jabs, I wonder? I’m not denying this blood contamination was an epic disaster but let’s not allow it to conveniently mask the other more recent epic disaster, which was the commencement of the proven toxic, experimental, dangerous clot shots from Jan 2021 onwards.
It is abundantly clear that the sudden re-appearance of the contaminated blood scandal has been enabled in order to provide cover for the rising C1984 deaths and health scares. I am also tempted to wonder if perhaps the contaminated blood was preparation for the current slaughter occurring as a result of the mRNA poisons. Far fetched? Let’s not forget the Davos Deviants are playing a long game, I wouldn’t rule anything out.
Will the post following this about Billy’s Burgers be used as cover for the “vaccine” deaths in the coming years?
Off-T.

Billy’s Burgers. Another poisonous soup brewed up to kill and maim. That these foods are indispensable to the depopulation agenda must be beyond dispute. Common sense dictates that if the money currently spent on fake foods was spent on natural agriculture then we could comfortably feed the planet, so why is this not happening?
Well I’m still wondering where all the bugmeal is. Remember I shared that info that the EU had approved bugs to be put in our food, which was ages ago now, and I’ve seen neither hide nor hair of any insects listed on any labels yet, which is highly strange and more than a bit suss. Especially as they said they were onto about insect number 4 or 5 that’d had the green light now, and that they’d list it clearly in the ingredients on the package. I remember the sorts of foods they’d listed that they intended to put the crud in too but so far, nada. How weird is that? If anyone else is in the EU and has had any success in finding these approved insects listed in food items then do share because it’s all a bit disconcerting, to be honest.
Yes I agree Mogs. Why have insects in food disappeared into their own nests? One thing is for sure the safest way to avoid all the shyte is to eat natural. No processed.
I’m thinking perhaps getting a bread maker would be a good thing. You can just use normal ingredients to avoid processed. I hear Roman type bread is good.
We have made all our own bread for twenty plus years. And we use a bread machine up to first prove. We even use our veg cooking water.
just check the flour ingredients, under EU law they can now add the ground up cricket to it, also Pasta and Beer.
Agreed.
From the article:
Between 2003 and 2018, Illinois prison inmates were fed a meat-free, ‘planet-saving’ diet loaded with imitation foods containing soy protein isolate and soy protein concentrate with soy flour added to baked goods. The women stopped menstruating after a few months, so it was removed from their diet. The men developed digestive problems – pain after eating, diarrhoea, constipation, flatulence, debilitating thyroid problems, heart arrythmias, erectile dysfunction, and they began to grow breasts.
And these are only the short-term consequences of eating this (gene-engineered, obviously) frankenfood. But it’s ‘planet-saving’ or – put into other words – has no chance in hell in the marketplace but ‘planet-saving’ government legislation and regulation will hopefully eventually fix this by ever more aggressive sin taxes on eating real food.
They would’ve been aware of the scandal and were confident other abuses of power can be kicked into the long grass in the same way.
Spot on once again , all & sundry knickers twisting over the post office & now this blood debacle both of which are minuscule in comparison to the Jabathon ! End Game ? Will it be Nuclear war or the with-drawl of Cash that slaps us down
Thanks Freddy
GB News mentioning this said how long will they kick this can down the road. I replied to them saying the Covid jab scandal will be kicked down the road for another 20 years, or maybe 30 years, what a wonderful democracy we have. If you read that Bev, you know what I’m talking about, so does your sidekick who maligned people who didn’t want the stuff.
It sure is a greatly timed distraction from the Astra Zeneca withdrawal, obviously it goes without saying that what was perpetrated by the Government and the NHS and the cover up is utterly shameful and disgusting, and that not only compensation should be paid but those involved including Government and NHS should be prosecuted in criminal trials.
But for all those who took the coerced covid injections, who have since suffered frequent bouts of illness, and worse, who have read the Astra Zeneca revelation, please note that what Governments did regarding this blood poisoning in collusion with the NHS, and what they did with regards to the treatment of Post Masters points to the fact that they will not hesitate in covering up and vilifying those who have been killed and damaged by the novel, experimental gene therapy covid injections, and their are multi millions of those across the world, so the need to cover up, and distract is a priority and to do so at any cost.
At least this scandal is serving a purpose; highlighting that institutions like the NHS are nothing but a health mafia and not to be trusted. On the radio I have already heard “where is the Hippocratic Oath”….Yes where indeed!
Contaminated blood scandal, ‘decades to come to light and be acknowledged’. 10bn cost. The damage inflicted since 2021 is an order of magnitude greater, but is unlikely to be admitted for a decade or two.
Quite right. The AIDS scamdemic is still buried and won’t be discussed (flying HIV ‘viruses’ from the Congo etc etc). You died of AZT not ‘AIDS’, but they did create a $350 billion market. Rona will be the same only vastly larger than ‘AIDS’ given the scalable scope of mRNA injections for every possible ‘disease’ and ailment.
Apologies for the off topic post, but I would like to publicly record this. I suggest anyone else affected submit a similar request:

Dear Data Protection Officer,
Subject Access Request under Article 15 of the UK GDPR
I am writing to formally request access to all personal data that The Daily Sceptic holds about me, in accordance with Article 15 of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
Specifically, I am requesting:
1. All personal data relating to my comments and interactions under the article about Kate Windsor and subsequent comments against various additional articles about the possibility The Daily Sceptic may be subject to a super-injunction. The original article of which I speak is this one: https://dailysceptic.org/2024/03/29/are-we-being-gaslit-over-the-cause-of-the-princess-of-waless-cancer/?highlight=Kate
My request is including but is not limited to:
– The content of my comments.
– Any internal or external communications that mention or discuss my comments.
– Records of any actions taken concerning my comments, including deletions or modifications.
2. All correspondence and communications that involve my personal data, including emails, internal memos, and any other forms of communication between staff members or between The Daily Sceptic and any third parties.
3. The reasons and legal basis for the removal of my comments and the subsequent removal of the entire article.
I am aware that there may be potential legal constraints, such as a super-injunction, that might affect the disclosure of certain information. I understand you may under certain circumstances feel compelled to redact certain information. However, I remind you that under the UK GDPR, you are required to provide as much information as possible within the legal framework and trust as a matter of principle you will seek to interpret the law with fullest regard for truth, illumination and compliance with my rights as a British citizen and free man.
Should any information be withheld due to legal constraints, I request a detailed explanation of the reasons for this, including any specific legal grounds or court orders that necessitate such actions. Furthermore, I ask for an account of the steps you have taken to determine what information can be lawfully disclosed.
Please provide the requested data in electronic format to the email address specified above and to my postal address. If any clarification is needed regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience.
I am not doing this in order to be a pain. I am making this request as a matter of principle. I suspect there is indeed a super injunction in place and in my view such legal devices are pro-censorship, anti-democratic and an offence to truth and intellectual freedom. If The Daily Sceptic has been subject to such an instrument, I sympathise. You have been put in a terrible bind that will have put you in conflict with your readership and the principles of this publication and your sister organisation “The Free Speech Union” and it will have had a significant impact on your reputation and trust of your readership.
I trust you will do everything you can to comply with my right to know all discussion around my comments against that article and comments on subsequent days.
I understand that you are required to respond to my request within one month of receipt. If you need more time to process this request, please provide a detailed explanation for the delay.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt and thorough response.
And the next blood contamination scandal will be?
Clue. It started 3 years ago.
https://doorlesscarp953.substack.com/p/gene-therapies-cancer-risk-and-why
The first part deals with the toxicity of the mRNA covid jabs.
I wonder if NHS BT might be a tad concerned.
“Institutional defensiveness” – a term expressed by Kier Starmer a few minutes ago in response to Rishi’s statement re the enquiry on this topic. But where else has that been observed? Some participants in the process did observe that it is not necessarily limited to the infected blood scandal. A lot of it may be endemic to several organisations, not least the Treasury and it’s mates, and the medical trade to boot.
It appears to me that whenever something nasty happens to the extent that it undermines the reputation of an institution, it tends to “do something” to attempt to restore it on the one hand, and a degrees of opportunism on the other. Maybe I’m an old cynic.
People will rightly point to 2020 Lockdowns, 2021 experimental jab coercion. All correct to do so. But let’s not forget NG163 Pathways protocols. The April 2020 death spike correlates with Medazolam not ‘covid’ cases!
…and I believe also due to excessive use of ventilation, but I don’t have a source readily to hand for this.
Iatrogenic harms. Caused by the treatment.
Andrew Bridgen seems to be the only MP raising the issue, and when he does, they dive for cover like their in a Warzone!
Tonight Patrick Christys on GBN….Are you confident a scandal would not happen again…..God God man, it already has. And while we are on GBN, I hope they will support Mark Steyn next month taking the state censor OFCOM to court. After all, they didn’t have him over a barrel.
The length of time this is taking to resolve is a disgrace. I assume successive governments hope all those affected will die before they have to give compensation.
The norm for an admission about Governmental scandals seems to be 30 – 40 years.
If it’s 30 years, I might be around when a future PM is standing at the podium apologising for the Covid mRNA tyranny …… and the litany of failures covering multiple governments, prominent politicians and health organisations, with victims repeatedly lied to, misled and ignored, and people including pregnant women and children treated like “objects for research.
Every corrupt individual named in the Report should be prosecuted and Ken Clarke should be charged with Malfeasance in Public Office.
I think we’re at a crossroads; if the Globalist/technocrats get their way there is scant chance of justice. Those who control the past and all that!
“scathing report into the biggest treatment disaster in NHS history” …..until 2020 and onwards!
When do the trials start? (Rhetorical).
Until Ministers (yes you Sushi Ruinak, Boris, Hancock, et al), civil servants, doctors/nurses and company managers go to gaol, moral hazard will perpetuate and nothing will improve.
