    The costs of the Infected Blood Scandal

    Send a text Imagine your family blindsided by a catastrophe so sudden and devastating that life is split into “before” and “after.” In this powerful episode, Charles and Lyn break open the hidden human costs of public health failures especially tragedies like tainted blood transfusions and contaminated blood treatments. With honesty and urgency, they explore what survivors and families endure long after the headlines fade: the medical, financial, emotional, and generational toll that reshapes every part of life. Whether you’ve lived through a public health disaster or want to understand the real impact behind the statistics, this conversation pulls back the curtain on a crisis that should never have happened and must never happen again. The unanimously agreed recommendations by the Senate of Australia on how recipients of HepC tainted blood should be treated.  21 years later not a single recommendation has been implemented leading to more family break ups and suicides, whilst the health minsters and culpable bureaucrats involved in the failures have made fortunes from the tax payer. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ddd792_d174655d85034579a3f726b6cd4bf03f~mv2.jpg Australia has committed $48m to HIV for FIJi whilst Australians with HIV from tainted blood treatments are forced to visit food banks to survive. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/fijis-hiv-crisis-and-what-australia-is-doing-to-help/hp1x1osis Please support  a petition for a Royal Commission of inquiry into the Australian Red Cross/CSL Infected blood scandal here https://www.infectedbloodaustralia.com/registration Help fund the legal case by purchasing a Make Accountability Happen Again cap here https://joinhighadventure.com.au/patriot-cap/

    Donor D20

    Send a text In this episode, hosts Charles MacKenzie and Lyn uncover the true story behind a tainted blood donor known only as Code Donor D20 and how decisions made by Australia’s blood bank led to the death of Lyn’s young son, Martin, in 1989. But this is not just one family’s tragedy. Was D20 a tragic anomaly, or evidence of a far wider and hidden practice where thousands of high risk donors were knowingly recruited into the blood supply despite the dangers?
