- ITV News Health Correspondent Rebecca Barry breaks down the key findings from the report
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has apologised to the victims of the infected blood scandal and their families, saying "on behalf of this and every government stretching back to the 1970s, I am truly sorry".
Delivering a statement to Parliament in response to the release of a damming report into the scandal, the PM said there had been a "catalogue of systemic, collective, and individual fauilures, amounting to a calamity".

Apology from an unelected stinking rich wrecker of our country ? meaningless.
Feel free to leave it you don't like it here.
Well said indeed
@@xyo1337 You fortunately have the same option - probably a good idea if you support Sunak!
@@xyo1337 you should try bending over a bit further ! 🥴
@@adama8570 I do have the same option. However I'm not the person posting about their hatred for their home and their kin. Your logic is lacking but I wouldn't expect anything less from your sort 😆
What value is an apology from a professional liar.
There is no way anyone can truly apologize for something SO horrific as the pain of that little 10yr old boy. How can anyone apologize to him?
I'm in tears watching this.. that poor little boy...a heartbreak forever for his parents
traditionally, pHARMa Inc. are ok with a bit of ‘collateral damage’
Horrific, that poor boy suffering like that.
As prime minister i apologise for letting England disappear
Do u mean Sunak was PM over the decades have u understand the story or just hate
Takes 30 years for a decision and an apology..and we claim we are a leading country
Look how long they had to wait for that apology, A lot of them have already died.
Soooooorrrrryyyyy⛷️🍸
& victims of GSK’s ‘Pandemrix’ are still waiting ....
Not even a single person has been held accountable or prosecuted
The parents of that 10year old....breaks my heart.
The same thing will happen in the future about covid.
Yes, in about 50 years.
I hope so not just saying sorry but jail time
Exactly 💯😢
Every day should be a day of shame for Rishi Sunak
Apology NOT ACCEPTED! Resign now! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Another will replace him. Nothing will change
This had been deliberately hidden for decades. Where was Boris? At least Rishi addressed it and said sorry.
Nothing will change when the country is morally corrupt.
@@livingdead233 right! People just hate him because he's not Christian or white. Don't forget who evaded the recession, it was rishi not boris or lizz.
I thought they were talking about the covid scandal to start with.
What about the jabs, etc. From recently I feel for all the people that has had both of these issues
And to think people are lining up for boosters from these criminals, you cant make it up.
One of the many benefits of the fountain of health jab is boosted cognitive ability .
Absolutely right..people are so brainwashed and downtrodden shocking indeed
Its ok, haven't you been listening? Trust the science.
Quite hypocritical
@@RustyShackleford66 This isn't a failure of science. It's a failure of policy. That's why it's so horrifying. If it were a science failure we'd be saying "we didn't know". The horror is we did know, and did nothing to prevent this, and didn't inform patients. The science worked. The policy failed.
Can I just insert some sanity here. In 1982 there was no internet, no mobile phones, no cable TV. Just 4 channels on TV in 1983! Michael Jackson's - Beat It, was in the charts. Newspapers were the main distributors of (biased) information. It was a different world that I lived through, compared to now. Context is very important as always. You can look at almost anything from 40 years ago and reveal dangers from old practices.
The number of people dying from unsafe work practices was much larger than this issue. Namby pamby, some would say, Health & Safety legislation has improved that over the decades. Thankfully.
Hemophiliacs were dying prematurely from strokes and other bleeds. Factor VIII had been shown to be effective in treating this in the '70's. It could only be made from thousands of blood donations as it makes up a small part of the blood serum.
The calculated risk, mid 1970's was to use it to treat haemophiliacs. At the same time Hepatitis A and B had only just been isolated as a virus behind some liver diseases. Hepatitis C was unknown until 1989! HAV cures itself after a few months. HBV acute phase seems to go away after a few months but it can become chronic and after 20 years cause cirrhosis of the liver, as it turns out.
AIDS was first detected in 1981 as an unknown disease that caused immune deficiency, leading to pneumonia and death eventually. Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is the extended name, revealing its unknown cause. Homosexual men and some haemophiliacs seemef to be dying young of some bodily fluid borne disease.
In the UK the first person known to die of AIDS was recorded, in the 12th December 1981 paper published in The Lancet journal. Terry Higgins the died in July '82 of AIDS.
As it has a (years) long incubation period it is very hard to find the cause. In 1983 researchers had discovered a retrovirus responsible for AIDS, they called it HIV. By 1984 it was accepted as fact. 1985 saw 58 people as having died from AIDS. Still quite small numbers.
The BBC produced a Horizon episode in 1986 about, "AIDS: A Strange and Deadly Virus", looking into the research of AZT in tackling HIV infections. Lady Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales, shook the hand of a dying AIDS patient to prove you cannot get it just by touch in 1987. Much fearmongering and ignorance was rife, even this late.
The usual suspects of politically right wing newspapers, Sun, Telegraph, Mail, Express and News of the World had spent years, since 1983, reporting on the debauchery of gays and the deserved plague brought down upon them, most of the public agreed. Pathetic journalism.
Finally, in 1987 it was clear that HIV was also a straight plague! Women were catching it. The government now commisioned a famous TV commercial and a leaflet campaign to every household called: AIDS: Don't Die of Ignorance. It was dramatic and fear inducing, but woke everyone up to the reality of HIV. Now everyone knew about HIV and AIDS. I remember it well, whilst I watched "The Tube" on Channel 4 with Jools Holland & Co.
So you see, this is the context into which this report discusses the errors made in the first few years of the 1980's. Almost nothing was known for certain and much like some treatments today, the risk is deemed better than the disease. Sometimes in error due to lack of knowledge, never ill intent or even negligence.
Not that it hasn't been tragic for haemophiliacs but the much larger tragedy of AIDS, HIV and general hepatitis were the priority. Bourne out by the worldwide figures of 40 million people that have since died from AIDS and 40 million more that are living with HIV right now. Dwarfing all other problems.
Such is life, I wish people would stop expecting certainty and absolutes, then legal comeback for the randomness of life. Life has never been better, in all of history, than it is right now. I bet it doesn't look so good through the viewpoint of someone in the 2060's when I will be 100!
Did you make it this far? See how much harder it is to respond to ignorance, reactionary comment and bias. Then nobody reads it because they don't really want informed, they want their prejudices verified and supported.
THE END
Kudos to your knowledge 👏
That little boy Lee's voice,pierced my heart 😢
Just goes to show really. Conspiracies do exist. If they were lying about this, who knows what else they might be hiding?
Windrush..Post office..'infected blood'...how many more and what of 'compensation'....mmmm...
Every day is a day of shame for these corrupt treasonous politicians.
What about people injured by AstraZeneca Jabs?. My two Jabs med History was not even recorded.
£120 grand tops, but only if your judged to be > 60% ‘disabled’
My auntie & cousin both mysteriously developed breast cancer 2 weeks post Moderna jab . NHS told them it was hereditary. They are now breast less, bald and my cousin is dying (stage 4)
Still don’t think it was anything to do with the jab.
Yes a day of shame as you back a war criminal in Israel.
There must be so many angry families out there - so sorry.
If they can do this to the UK citizens, imagine what has been done to African
Yeah agreed but we arnt talking about africa
Africa has literally been the big pHARMers testing ground for decades, weird how uptake of the juice was so low there, almost as if they knew not to trust the $cammers 🤷🏽♂️
When will the prosecutions begin? How to bring this before the ICC?
They won't. Governments will throw vast amounts of taxpayers' money at it, but the real villains will, as usual, avoid any punishment at all.
Sunak grandstanding on a historical tragedy
Can't imagine what family members went through 😢
'I'm truly sorry' said the Indian guy with a £700 million fortune
800.000 dude
He owns half a billion in shares of moderna that he bought at a very coincidental time.
so your main issue with him is being an Indian?
He said sorry for being wrong done over the decades
He's only sorry because he obviously been asked too he's evil
MSM happy to cover this but crickets regarding ongoing excess deaths.
Only the tip of the iceberg, for sure.
I am so sad & upset. RIP ALL THE PATIENCES.. I pray to mighty God to take care of all the people who lost their lives. Amen 🙏🕉🌺🇮🇳
What about blood transfusions today containing god knows what from the jibby jabs?
Isn’t the same scenario going to unfold after all those Covid jabs?
Well it would certainly help to raise the average IQ of the country.
@@RustyShackleford66 the amount of times I've heard, I only took it to go abroad, is just incredible.
You may well be on to something there.
It's always 110 years later. What's he apologising for 🤷♂️
Quick maths 👍
it eats up his conscience
Poor little Lee Turton. RIP Lee Turton, gone to be an Angel in Heaven, out of all pain now. Let down by those who should have looked after him.
“It’s a big club, and you’re not in it” - George Carlin.
This reveals the collusion between the parties at Westminster when it comes to disgraceful events like this, and by God, we’ve seen plenty of them these last years.
They have a gentleman’s agreement not to reveal each other’s incompetence and criminality while in office, and hope to fob off the public with enquiries that last for years or decades.
The Tory party should have nailed Blair to the wall for Iraq, the Labour Party over Hillsborough and Bloody Sunday, and both should have had the human decency to sort the tainted blood and post office scandals out decades ago.
They really hate us, don’t they?
With an unrelenting passion yes, they hate you and your children
APOLOGY…? That’s it…? This is NOT A SHAME. This is a bloody CRIME.
2:10 that footage is going to haunt me for years to come. Absolutely horrific.
The justified rage people must feel is beyond comprehension & the terrifying facts in front of us are What else has & is being coverd up so greed can get $€£$€£$€£
The problem is where else have they done these atrocities???
just out of interest, how are Ritchy ‘Goldman $achs’ W.E.F.’s ‘modeRNA’ shares doing atm ?
Don't worry, those responsible will get plenty of warning and won't have to face any accountability
No apology, no amount of money, no words will ever take away the hurt, pain, the lost friends, families , just awful ❤ Jason Evans, ' in cold blood' documentary and others, you need alocades of the highest orders x my heart goes out to lee, his family, all like him x Mr Richard W u, and all of you ars my heroes x I salute you x my god bless you x
Canada apologized in the early 1990s and established a comission in 1996 and delivered a report in 1998. Everyone was compensated by 2002. Horrific they killed these people or made them sick for life but then to sit on your asses for 40 years without apologizing is just insulting and another revictimization. So sorry to all these families and individuals whose lives were forever changed. What can you expect from a state that sees nothing wrong with 15,000 innocent children being slaughtered.
The King of England should apologize , not the prime minster
Why, exactly? He doesn't make the decisions. Politicians do.
@@dovetonsturdee7033 your right .
Has anybody seen a film called “SOYLENT-GREEN” 1973....This is HEARTBREAKING......RISHI.... YOU ARE ACCCOUNTABLE....
So to all those people scoffing at the idea that government and industry could / would never cover up excess deaths, or murderous care home protocols, or financial corruption, or dangers and ineffectiveness of new pharmaceuticals…
B b b but this is different
Oh no 😢 As an American, I am so sorry you had to go through the loss of your son 😢 I really am so upset about this! Prayers up for you and your fight ahead! I pray justice is served in honor of your son! 🫂🙏
This World is run by liars and deceivers!
RIP to all those affected by the british and american governments, from these 30,000 people here, to the 35,000+ killed in the last 7 months in Gaza, to the million in Iraq, to the millions all over Africa.
they’re well into their ‘eugenics’
But blood wasn't screened for many things back then
It happened in the usa too
They knew something was going wrong 40 years ago and covered it up another disaster on Margret Thatchers watch.
just wait until Joe P Ublic finally fully realises what’s been done to them in the last few years.
if you took it then you ARE ‘the research’.
"I'M Sorry", says man who couldn't give a flying fork.
Wow 😢
How could this happen?
Because of someone's benefit
Sunak is rightly horrified, at how much he'll be expected to pay out in compensation. Quick, better bury it behind paperwork just like the postmaster scandal until labout are in so they have to pay for it.
I cried with ebery word u said about this innocent the little boy ❤❤❤❤❤
Sunak apologised.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sunak. !
The Jehovahs witnesses have told people for years to abstain from blood, read the in bible, acts chapter 15: v 29.❤❤❤
Gene therapy is this on steroids
but most of the guinea pigs still don’t want to discuss it
If they are doing this what else are they doing, probably a whole lot more.... Covid needs looking into aswell, they could of stopped that boat coming across
I thought he was talking about the covid scandal.
That will be in another 58 years
Sooooorrrryyyy you're dead ⛷️🍸
Bless these pour souls. bless the kids, bless the parents.
Sunpak, always says he's sorry, I know that, where is an apology.
Horrific
Apologies! What about prosecution
How US didnot n or UK screen the blood
But Sunak wasnt there
the only day of shame is when the Tories got back in this scandal is just one of how many when Tories are in government including the so-called jab that people had recently wait about 15 years and it will come up what the jab has done to people
Year of Exposing the wrong deeds of Evilness. 2024
He could just apologise for being, worst luck, OUR PM 😪
What about Sunak and Starmer supporting war criminals. The news seems to have been taken over by this story conveniently?
Please just leave now and go away…..for god sake!
They were murdered short and simple! How can one experiment on children without telling them the risk?!
At least there won't be any problems with them allowing covid vax blood ,after all since the roll out in 21 , peoples health has been fantastic with lower heart attacks , strokes , cancers and higher joint health , cognitive and athletic performances .
Yes, I had noticed a massive increase in people's general health since the safe and effective experiment.
Indeed, we've never had it so good. Thats why I took all the jabs....not
reportedly it also makes the user more virile, enables faster hair growth !
roll up, roll up, get a bOo$tER today !!!
Could have been a lot worse if I didn't get them because reasons
This might be the future with COVID vaccinated victims 🤷♀️
Doctors have code of conduct..what experiment r they doing!!
Horrifying
Is any 1 to be held accountable
I so sorry how can kids get sick ? Please doctor saved safe anyone if you can with medicine thanks you .I no understand how can kids get sick! Mental health with Doctors Mike
many an innocent childs lifewas obbed. many young, old died for no cause except neglect.
Apology from who again?
Day of shame, there will be more to follow have no doubt.
To be honest this scandal has nothing to do with Sunak. Instead those ones who trying to cover up this scandal in 70s,80s should be hold responsible
Nobody is ever held responsible
Do we wait 40 years for an apology for the Covid Cancer Clot Shots?
Children are dying for healthy reasons sorry for that. Sunak has to leave
The bible, says abstain from blood and you prosper good health to you. The Almighty God jehovah is always right. ❤
Quite frankly, there's many things Rishi Sunak needs to apologise for, and this isn't one of them. It didn't happen under his watch. But no doubt, 40 years down the line another Prime Minister will be apologising for Rishi Sunak's actions. Nobody's ever taking accountability for what they did, they just wait for someone else to do it for them.
I send my sincere condolences to this family. What a tragedy for so many peoples, too.
The ruling British criminal cabal must be indicted. The unelected House of Lord-dissolved. True democracy. Not "a ruling, offshore, cabal aristo- democracy ".
This same ruling cabal, first castrate Alan Turing... then, "apologize". Same things now. How long this may be repeated?
I have voted Conservative all my life. I've now retired and am ashamed of what I've voted for
I’m very sorry for it all but don’t worry you’ll all pay for our mistakes.
Sooooorrrrrryyyyyy ⛷️🍸
PM what he did for this country aside of the financial And health
Covid jab apologies next????
Soooooorrrrryyyyy ⛷️🍸
Like he cares
Its easy to say sorry, when you a pen pusher 😮 just know clue as to why hes apologizing, ya hear these fools many times pulling the wool over the sheeps eyss , sad 😭
Sorry to be defeatist, but please show me an angle where government or their arms act in our genuine best interest. I'm 32 and I'm bored of the "civilised" apologies and enquiries in scenarios like this already. We actually get treated like cattle and it feels like we're alright about it when I see stories like this. Always have been and still are a nation built on acceptable corruption and exploitation. I used to buy into the narrative being lucky to be born and raised here.... not so much anymore
honesty & realism isn’t ‘defeatist’
They're spraying you like bugs
So a sorry can solve everything in democratic countries?
Apologising of the adrenaline of his riches, borderline im sorry but i don't give a toss.
Sunak is only sorry in reality is for all the money that he would of prefferred to give to friends and wasteful self-important ideas. Oops where can I get money from now>
Day of shame? Lifetime of shame more like. Wait for a few more years with the potential jibby jabby infections.
He is not sorry at all
They never are
@Beyond_Belief534 No, they just gaslight us all the time while robbing everyone of their money and freedom
