The shocking true story of the infected blood scandal: the worst treatment disaster in NHS history, which saw people infected with HIV by a revolutionary medical treatment and a cover-up from governments and the multi-billion-dollar plasma industry.
''The Poison Line is the gripping tale of a terrible scandal'' Jonathan Freedland, author of The Escape Artist
‘Books are routinely described as extraordinary, but this one really is’ John Preston, author of Fall
________________
Factor VIII was billed as a medical miracle when it was put on the market in the late 1960s: a revolutionary treatment that meant people with haemophilia no longer feared a bleed might prove fatalBut as the treatment was rolled out, haemophiliacs began to contract hepatitis and AIDS in terrifying numbers.
Even as medical bodies and pharmaceutical companies tried to discredit whistleblowers and diminish the evidence, it became abundantly clear that the miracle treatment was infectedFactor VIII was killing the very people it promised to protect. And government embarked on a cover-up on an industrial scale.
Award-winning investigative journalist Cara McGoogan follows the survivors-turned-campaigners, the small-town lawyers and the fearless journalists who took on some of the most powerful interests in the world to uncover what really happened in the infected blood scandal.
