The full and shocking account of one of the biggest medical disasters in history – and the lengths that big pharma, the NHS and governments worldwide took to cover it up

‘A devastating piece of reportage. Books are routinely described as extraordinary, but this one really is’ John Preston, author of Fall

Factor VIII was billed as a medical miracle when it was put on the market in the late 1960s: a revolutionary treatment that meant people with haemophilia no longer feared a bleed might prove fatal.

But as the treatment was rolled out, haemophiliacs began to contract hepatitis and AIDS in terrifying numbers. Rumours circulated in the press; a climate of fear took hold. How safe was Factor VIII?

Even as medical bodies and pharmaceutical companies tried to discredit whistleblowers and diminish the evidence, it became abundantly clear that the ‘miracle’ treatment was infected. Before long, Factor VIII was killing the very people it promised to protect. And government embarked on a cover-up on an industrial scale.

Award-winning investigative journalist Cara McGoogan follows the survivors-turned-campaigners, the small-town lawyers and the fearless journalists who took on some of the most powerful interests in the world to uncover what really happened in the infected blood scandal.

A Financial Times and Prospect 2023 Book of the Year

全情揭露历史上最大规模医疗灾难的详尽而令人震惊的故事，以及大型制药公司、英国国家医疗服务系统（NHS）和全球各国政府为了掩盖真相所采取的极端措施。 “一部极具破坏力的作品。书籍通常被形容为非凡之作，但这一本确实如此。”《堕落》作者约翰·普莱斯顿如是说。” 1960年代晚期，因子八血液制品被标榜为一场医疗奇迹：一种革命性的治疗方法，意味着患有血友病的人不再害怕出血可能会致命。 然而，在这种疗法推广的过程中，血友病患者却开始感染丙型肝炎和艾滋病的比例惊人。媒体上流传着谣言；恐惧的氛围席卷而来。因子八是否安全？ 即便在医学机构和制药公司试图质疑告密者，并贬低证据的同时，人们很快就清楚地意识到“奇迹”治疗被污染了。很快，因子八就开始杀死了它承诺保护的人。而政府也采取了大规模的掩盖行动。 获奖调查记者卡拉·麦克戈根追踪了那些从幸存者变成倡导者的、来自小镇的律师和那些不畏强权的世界最强大利益集团的无畏记者们，揭露了感染血液丑闻的真实情况。 基于屡获殊荣的谎言之床播客 金融时报和前景2023年图书年度最佳作品
