There's actually a scandal that is coming, it has unfolded, it's coming to an end now, and it's happening in the UK.

And American audiences probably don't hear about it or understand it really because it's it's such a big deal over there but

it hasn't crossed over to the reporting here so if you haven't seen anything on this take a

look at some of these clips it is a scandal that has already claimed thousands of lives.

Tens of thousands of people were infected by contaminated blood transfusions.

It was hailed as a miracle treatment, but for many it was a death sentence.

As many as 30,000 people in the UK were given blood treatments infected with HIV and hepatitis C.

That was between the 1970s and 1991.

The United Kingdom was short of blood clotting treatments and this was

particularly acute for thousands of hemophiliacs and the National Health Service turned to a product called factor 8.

Factor 8, made from blood plasma, was imported in the 1970s and 80s, much of it from the United States,

where it was collected from prisoners, sex workers and drug users who were paid for their blood.

1,250 people with bleeding disorders in the UK

got HIV and hepatitis C as a result of this.

380 children, 2-thirds later died of AIDS-related illnesses.

I was given some contaminated blood products from the government and with that I got HIV, hepatitis C, VC, JD and the hepatitis A and B. So with that my life's been kind of turned upside down.

These individuals are people that have been fighting for answers for almost 50 years.

And despite years of campaigning, the government only announced a full inquiry in 2017.

Around 2,900 people are thought to have died from this.

An inquiry into the scandal is set to conclude in May.

How soon is some fiery will give us some justice and some peace.

Wow.
