Your dishonest defense of the Canadian system is based on a definition of the CRC as "not part of the system" and a denial that anyone involved in "the system" did anything wrong. That is clearly not true based on the story: "Many Canadian physicians and officials in the 1980s failed to adopt precautions which were standard .." I guess these physicians weren't part of "the system." "in November 1984 the Canadian Bureau of Biologics directed the Canadian Red Cross to adopt " Guess the Bureau of Biologics wasn't part of "the system" either. "In fact, in Canada private medical practice is illegal. For example, when the Canadian government decided to continue to use non heat-treated clotting factor products which were often contaminated with HIV, it would have been illegal for individual patients, physicians, or hospitals to purchase safe, heat-treated products on their own. " Hmm, will you argue the Canadian gov't isn't part of "the system"? " Politicians may have escaped blame because in 1989 the executive director of the Canadian Blood Committee, Dr. Jo Hauser, ordered all records of Blood Committee meetings from 1982 to 1989 destroyed. " The Canadian Blood Committee and the politicians which sit on it are undoubtedly not part of "the system". LOL it's about screening for HIV/Hep. C not screening for Gays. Gays aren't the ONLY people with those infections. But, bigots like yourself automaticly associate them with the problem Yep, I knew you wouldn't want to discriminate against gays. Did you know the FDA bans blood donation by men who have had sex with men since 1977? Aren't you ashamed of that? Don't you want that discrimination stopped immediately?
