(OREGON):

When speaking about probable vCJD and a 14 year old. I suggest that media

pressure can work wonders in forcing the hands of officials. I saw it with

Mr Mckewans case and how officials here in Canada now realize the many

mistakes they made here. Had it not been for publicity we as the public

wouldn't of known what they were doing and that they were releasing the

blood and not recalling it.

Concerning blood donations and recalls and

notifications..........Officially blood from a " classical " case of CJD is

not recalled, it does NOT carry a warning label. This is for both USA and

Canada. But the fractionaters decide whether they want to distribute the

blood, legally they can. Bayer here in Canada does not distribute Factor

8, and 9 but releases all other Factors. When I talked with a Bayer

representative he said it is because not enough is known about these

factors to release it.

Notifications these were done and have been done since 1995, till Sept, of

98 for USA and Dec of 98 for Canada. I believe as a recipient of one of

these notifications that they shouldn't of been done. I have many reasons

for this much too long for here.

Keep us posted.
