Incomplete

You completely omitted the negligence of manufacturers of Factor concentrate. All they had to do was heat the powder to a certain degree to kill the virus but that step cut into their profits. Their own researchers knew about the heating step and chose NOT to heat it. All the while they actively sought cheap plasma from Angola Prison “donors” and other high-risk donors. The CDC protected them when the hemophilia community filed a class action lawsuit. Settlement included non-disclosure clause. Would make a great episode.
