When Spin Kills explains the astonishing story of the UKs transfusion Hepatitis C epidemic. At a time when the rest of the world added up its 200 million infections of Hepatitis C from contaminated transfusions, blood products and medical procedures, at a time when France noted 450,000 transfusion hepatitis C infections and the USA 2,000,000 such infections. The UK Department of Health rushed to settle out of court and destroy all evidence of its outbreak. Ever since the hundreds of thousands of NHS patients infected with Hepatitis C from contaminated NHS healthcare have been left to die as fast as possible without warnings or access to safety testing. This has directly contributed to the UK having the greatest boom in Liver Disease and Liver Cancer in Europe. When Spin Kills explains the disaster is actually 20 times the size admitted and how well planned lies have repeatedly been told to cover the fact up. It also examines the industrial scale use of UK prisons for our blood supply and the filthy failings to clean the supply.
