Compelling series examining Canada’s health care system knowingly allowing blood supplies to be used even though contamination with HIV and hepatitis C was likely. Even when a system became available to make the blood supply safer, health care officials opted to use up “existing inventory“ - thus unleashing tainted blood on an innocent population. Hemophiliacs who rely on blood products were hard hit with many becoming infected with HIV. The series does a good job showing how the crime of allowing bad blood to be distributed and the subsequent coverup tore families apart.
