4.9/5 (9373 ratings)

Description:In the 1980s and early 1990s, thousands of Canadians became infected with the HIV and Hepatitis C viruses through blood transfusions. Hundreds died. Many of these were hemophiliacs reliant upon blood-clotting factors that were produced from pooled blood donations for the maintenance of health and life. Others, who were given transfusions after operations, were also infected. The public agencies that were tasked to protect society from these diseases failed to react in time, and even distributed contaminated blood after the facts about HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C were widely known to health authorities. Bad Blood investigates what happened during this time, with interspersed interviews with many of those who suffered from this failure of public health policy.Bad Blood was shortlisted for the Gordon Montador award for public policy and the Ottawa-Carleton non-fiction award in 1995.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
