For over a decade, the American Red Cross, the world's largest humanitarian charity, has been responsible for exposing millions of innocent people to a blood supply contaminated by HIV, syphillis, hepatitis and other highly infectious diseases.
Now for the first time, investigative journalist Judith Reitman rips the veil of secrecy off the American Red Cross to expose: Its decision NOT to use a relatively inexpensive test to eliminate the vast majority of donors at high risk for AIDSThe FDA investigations that uncovered massive health and safety violations, culminating in a federal consent decree of permanent injunction against the American Red Cross.How the details of victim lawsuits and of out-of-court settlements have been shielded from the American public.
