Guest guest Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hi Gloria I am now officially - 'brain dead'. LOL :-) I know next to nothing about any lawsuits for tainted blood. I have heard mention of it though. I rarely read the Google Alerts that I post because they dont contain much 'right now' info to help people. There is a lot of what I call, 'glitter and glamor' type of news stories mixed in that I dont normally post. This story is one of them. Its interesting, but I dont see where it applies to any of us personally, unless we were lucky enough to have gotten a check. Google sends them to me, and I forward them on, just in case there is something needed in them by someone. When I search Google for news articles, there are hundreds each day, and Im pretty selective about what I repost to the group. Like stuff about a dog having HCV - who would care? Anyways, Im sorry I cant really comment on this story - my brain is dead. [Good excuse, dont you think?]......LMAO love don in ks From: Gloria <gadamscan@...>Subject: Re: [ ] Google Alert - hepatitis c Date: Thursday, December 2, 2010, 8:03 PM Well Guys - I can tell you that if the ex-model was Canadian, she would already be rolling in a bit of dough.There was a class action suit against the government for those that received tainted blood between 1986 and 1990. That was the time that the Blood Banks already knew about and how to screen for HepC. But, they didn't and some folks even received Aids as well as HepC, because that blood was coming from the prison population.OK, I understand that class action and truly feel for those folks. However, then someone started another class action for Pre 1986 and Post 1990. So, that meant that anyone that could prove that they received blood, no matter when, they also were awarded a big chunk of money. Now this one I don't understand. Someone gets a blood transfusion that helped save their lives and the HepC virus had not even been heard of yet - they get a pay off??? How could they or anyone else know for certain how they received their gift??? I used to be online with a number of folks that fit in on this one and could they ever get nasty!! I truly believe that they didn't care about anyone else on that site that didn't fall into that category. In fact, just after the cheques were being mailed out - the group went almost totally dead.I see where Don posted one of his articles, yesterday I believe and the lady that wrote it (Joan King) was another person that would not be getting any compensation.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 DonI didn't really comment expecting a return post. Was just saying that a whole lot of folks in Canada, did take on the Government and the Blood Bank and won. One of the gals that was included in one of these suits, actually joined this group for a very small amount of time. When I was able to reconnect with her about a year after she received her money, she had unfortunately allowed some abuser into her life and of course, he took her for every dime. She was starting a victim suit against him; but, I would suggest that it wasn't going to get her anything. However, sadly she suddenly died and I have not been able to find out what happened.Gloria Hi Gloria I am now officially - 'brain dead'.
