Thirty-four years ago today, on October 22, 1991 (September 15, 1991 lunar calendar), France revealed a serious case of blood transfusion infection. A serious case of blood transfusion infection virus caused shock in French society and caused a storm. French "Le Monde" October 22, 1991: By the end of 1985, among the 3,500 hemophiliacs who received regular blood exchange treatment at the National Blood Transfusion Center, half were infected with HIV, 200 of whom had died; 7,000 other patients were also infected with AIDS; hepatitis B and non-A non-hepatitis B viruses were stored in the plasma of the blood transfusion center; and since the 1970s, a total of 400,000 people have received blood transfusions in the blood transfusion center, or used its blood products. According to another article in Le Monde, the blood transfusion center still put blood products on the market after knowing that the blood was infected, until they were all sold out in the spring of 1985. There was outrage from all walks of life, and people asked: Why did the health department not make it necessary for blood donors to be tested for HIV? The United States invented the technology of heating blood to 56 ° C in late 1983 to eliminate HIV in it, and stipulated that hemophilia patients must use heat-treated blood the following year. Why did France delay making corresponding regulations until July 1985? Why did blood transfusion centers put infected blood on the market? In late October, Michel Galette, the director of the National Blood Transfusion Center, former health minister Jacques Roux, and the director of the health department's laboratory, Robert Neitai, were charged as defendants in the case. However, since the previous week, Gallette and Jacques Roux have made speeches one after another, claiming to be "scapegoats", saying that the real responsibility is then-Prime Minister Fabius and Finance Minister Beregova, who misappropriated funds for AIDS research, withheld funds for blood testing centers, and so on. Fabius immediately rebutted and filed a defamation lawsuit against Jacques Roux. The dispute has implicated a dozen politicians. The government fears that the incident will lead to a political crisis, reminding people to "beware of turning the debate into a tool of political struggle." The government's Ministry of Social Affairs announced on October 29 a complete reorganization of the national blood transfusion center. President Mitterrand has also met with the president of the Haemophilia Association to say that the victims will receive fair compensation. Public opinion here believes that the shortcomings exposed by the blood transfusion center, such as poor management, overcrowding, and heavy bureaucracy, are nothing more than a major recurrence of the "French disease" that has been talked about for a long time but has not been eradicated. In this sense, there should be "collective responsibility" for this event.
