from every branch of service were exposed to the Hepatitis
C virus by many methods of transmission specific to military
service. We call for immediate notification and education
of all current/past military personnel to the many transmission
methods that did/do exist within the military environment.
We insist on Service Connection for the past/present workforce
infected with hepatitis C and B and HIV.
Had
the government reacted to the hundreds of warnings from federal
scientists to heat the blood, we would not be sick.
Had
the government implemented existing testing procedures to
protect the blood supply, we would not be sick.
Had
the government prohibited the sale of illegal blood to countries
that banned the use of prison blood; if the government had
not purchased the processed products back for military use,
we would not be sick.
Had
the government enforced the laws violated by blood processors,
we would not be sick.
Had
the government not permitted the 150 FDA employees to own
stock in the very companies they were suppose to regulate,
we would not be sick.
Had
the government not used reprocessed single use medical devices
against manufacturer recommendations, we would not be sick.
Had
the government prohibited the use of HCV positive blood as
starting material for biological products, we would not be
sick.
Had
the government provided funding for this disease, HCV would
not be the worlds number one epidemic today.
Had
the government not tried to conceal the neglect, New Transmission
Methods would not be discovered yearly.
The
Government SHOULD have and COULD have prevented the spread
of this disease.
It is now time for the Government to take responsibility!

on DC for HCV
Note from
Lloyd
Veterans
have been exposed to nelglect and misinformation. I hear stories
everyday of serious malpractice.
You
need to know that interferon's are not effectiveand that they
destroy lives's, families and cause more deaths from sucide
than Schering Plough wants you to know. The
FDA is not even willing to tell us.
The
Program in Triunph Over Hepatitis C
works better than anything the FDA has to offer.
