Blood safety failures and regulatory reform debate
The piece recounts 1980s AIDS blood contamination warnings ignored by officials and industry cost fears delaying safety steps. It then links that history to 1995 attacks on Dole’s industry financed regulatory reform, noting lawmakers Robb and Conrad, PAC money, and the push to tie regulation to cost analyses. A warning against letting money override public health.
