Cover up: Mark Buckland was infected with CJD from blood that was

later discovered to be contaminated

The family of a man killed by the human form of mad cow disease after

being given infected blood yesterday slammed health chiefs who knew he

was at risk but failed to tell him until he was dying.

When Mark Buckland started to become tired and weak, he was wrongly

diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome because senior NHS officials

decided to keep his exposure to variant CJD a secret.

It was only three years later when the 32-year-old became too ill to

look after himself and began losing his memory that they finally told

his family he had the incurable brain disease.

Now, as a result of his death, scientists have discovered that

thousands more people could be exposed to vCJD through contaminated

blood.

But his family are furious that he and 65 other patients who also

received blood donated by people who later developed the terrifying

degenerative condition were kept in the dark.

Yesterday his sister , 35, said: " Mark spent the last three years

of his life fighting to find a cure for a disease that he didn't

actually have, and there were people who knew he didn't have it.

" We were told things like he might have committed suicide if he had

known the truth, but he had a right to know he was going to die - he

would have had the chance to do things like travel the world instead.

" They said they didn't want to make people panic, but instead they

staged a cover-up, and that's even worse - it's devastated the whole

family. "

Their 58-year-old mother Eve added: " This research just shows they

should have been more open all along - it's disgraceful. "

Mr Buckland, a high-flying BT research engineer in Ipswich, had to be

given 40 pints of blood when surgery for an intestinal complaint went

wrong in 1997.

Unbeknown to anyone, just one pint was contaminated with variant

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the deadly degenerative brain disease

spread by eating BSE-infected meat.

The donor who had given the blood died of vCJD in 2000, but at that

point it was not known what the risk was of the recipient developing

the disease.

As there was no test and no cure, a high-level Department of Health

committee took the decision not to inform Mr Buckland or the other

people who had received contaminated blood.

But because his own GP was not told either, when Mr Buckland -

ironically a vegetarian since his teens - began showing symptoms in

2003, he was misdiagnosed with ME.

The following year he was told about his exposure, but according to

his family he was told it was a " one in 1,000 " risk and not anything

to worry about.

By this time, Mr Buckland had had to give up work and was dedicating

himself to a website supporting work towards a cure for ME.

But by January this year he was so ill he had to move in with his

parents in Brighton.

As he began to lose his memory, officials finally contacted them to

break the news that he had vCJD. He died in a hospice four months

later.

At an inquest into his death, the coroner said Mr Buckland deserved to

have been told the truth sooner.

Of the other 65 transfusion patients exposed to contaminated blood,

two others are known to have developed vCJD.

Many have died from unrelated causes, leaving 24 who have now been

given the facts but face an uncertain future as it is thought some

carriers may never develop symptoms.

Yesterday, writing in The Lancet, Professor Collinge, who

investigated Mr Buckland's death, concluded that contaminated blood

was an " efficient " route by which vCJD can be spread. He believes

14,000 people could be carrying vCJD without knowing it, and his

research means they could infect many thousands more through

contaminated surgical instruments.

Infection through blood donation is also likely to continue to happen

despite precautions being introduced as there is no failsafe test for

the disease.

Mr Buckland's 62-year-old father said: " I still think if they

had told him there's a chance he could have taken part in drug trials

which just could have made a difference. I still feel he could be here

now.

" But because of their decision he spent a lot of fruitless years

setting up a website and researching an illness he didn't have. It was

a complete and utter waste of time. "

A spokeswoman for the Department of Health said when Mark fell ill it

was not known whether vCJD could be transferred through blood.

" We are finding out more information all the time about vCJD which we

are then able to pass on to patients who may be at risk, " she added.

They are not safe at all. They contain chemical contaminants, animal

cells, human cells from aborted fetuses, and apparently blood

products.

I refer to vaccines at " Snake Oil for the Modern day "

Most of the cell ingredients come from who knows where...
