they couldn't be sure if the blood donated from gay people at the time could have infected people with HIV so he ordered the blood thrown out




Wait, what? This is insane revisionism, the bloody scandal was in the other direction!

Hundreds of thousands of people got HIV and/or hepatitis via infected blood transfusions over the past decades, and people are still dying.






"Any country that bought contaminated blood from the US in the 1980s was affected," said Wherry.






In Canada, 2,000 people contracted HIV and 60,000 people developed hepatitis C. … in France, more than 4,000 people contracted HIV.






In Germany, a scandal erupted in 1993 after government officials tried to cover up reports of HIV/AIDS in people given infected blood. Over 400 people died, and a third of the country's hemophiliacs (2,000 people at the time) were infected with HIV.






China also saw HIV infections from contaminated blood bought and sold internally. An estimated 300,000 people were infected with HIV through blood selling-schemes in the 1990s.






People are still being infected with diseases by contaminated blood products. In 2016, more than 2,000 people in India contracted HIV from contaminated blood transfusions




Yes you can screen blood, but this was only developed in the mid 80s and had high failure rate, for example it detected antigens which are made by the body after months of infection, so a freshly infected could still contaminate the blood supply.

Meditation and yoga sessions and cheap decorative Buddha statues you can put into your garden/house without making a strong religious statement.
