Red Cross Refuses Full Disclosure On Suspect Blood
 
CNSNews.com -- the online news division of Media Research Center -- just released a breaking story regarding the Red Cross’ refusal to release information on 1,000 units of suspect blood that were released into the general population and may have represented a major health risk.

Last month, the FDA fined the Red Cross $4.6 million for improperly handling the suspect blood. Since that time, CNSNews.com has asked the Red Cross to disclose some key information on the tainted blood:

--Were all 1,000 suspect units destroyed?
--Did any of the suspect blood make it into the veins of patients?
--Did any patients get sick from the blood?

What response did CNSNews receive from the Red Cross? Simply this: “The Red Cross is not able to release that information,” said a spokesperson. They faced similar stonewalling from the FDA.
