00:00 It drains your very being just just having to live with it and think about it and especially as you said earlier
00:07 Remembering the faces of the kids that you grew up with you know, I mean I still remember them to this day
00:13 And it's so disheartening and sad
00:16 One of the reasons we my wife and I came down
00:21 specifically to
00:23 hear so Brian's final evidence
00:27 was to remember the boys that couldn't make it to hear his final conclusions and
00:34 I think as a pact we decided would fight to the bitter end
00:38 To do what's right for them and for their families
00:42 Because only one in four
00:45 Survived that's right. Yes. Yeah
00:47 122 went through to law college and 80 died
00:55 Absolutely shocking you were 11. Mm-hmm you
00:59 Contracted from this contaminated plasma product you contracted hepatitis and HIV. Yes, when were you told?
01:07 Well, I think we all knew about hepatitis B because we were walking around in groups of five or six with bright yellow eyes
01:15 There were no there were no whistleblowers. No one seemed to raise any
01:21 questions about why we were like that and then
01:25 Non a non B hepatitis came along which was later
01:29 renamed hepatitis C and
01:32 Then HIV and in the very early days of we did been down at the laws
01:37 We all had swollen lymph nodes and glands around your neck, which are an early sign of HIV
01:46 So we would be you know in our late teens
