Ian Cockburn - Death at The Hands of Your Government
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Ian Cockburn is a survivor of one of the most harrowing health scandals in UK history. At just six years old Ian was battling childhood Leukemia, and during one of his final treatments was infected with Hepatitis C through a contaminated blood transfusion-a fallout from the UK's importation of unscreened blood products over two decades. His medical journey began with a dramatic evacuation to a UK airbase, then a fight against Hep-C, which threatened not only his life but his dream of serving his country.
Ian opens up about the subsequent government and NHS cover-up that prolonged the crisis, the personal and professional hurdles he faced due to the infection, and how he overcame these challenges to live a fulfilling life with his family. Despite being barred from joining the British Army in his youth due to his medical history, Ian's unwavering determination, inspired by military podcasts, led him to reapply as a reservist and volunteer police officer, achieving success in both endeavors.
The UK public inquiry's publication date is approaching, which Ian hopes will reveal the depths of the scandal's negligence which is still estimated to result in a death over four days.
Ian shares his mission to raise awareness and ensure justice for the victims.

My dad had me at either 48 or 49. My mom was either 38 or 39.
So when I was 18 over a decade ago, my dad was I think 66, and my mom was 56 and was already a cancer survivor.
Having old parents has been an entirely unique experience compared to my peers with much younger parents. We simply don’t have the same types of family situations or problems.
I have no grandparents left, whereas most people my age that I know still have almost all of them, if not all of them remaining, and some of their grandparents are actually younger than my parents.
I worked at a Make a Wish associated hospital. Most children with severe illnesses qualify for a Wish. My cousin’s son survived leukemia and was several months in remission when Make A Wish offered him a Wish. They chose a trip to Orlando. My cousin was shocked and kept telling them, “you are misinformed. He’s cancer free.” They told her it was their reward to him for fighting so hard.
In 2nd grade, we had a kid in school who passed to cancer. Garret.
He suffered. He was hurting. Always. On the rare occurrence that he was in school, he was not doing well from either a physical or a mental standpoint. His yearbook picture hurts me, as he couldn’t understand why they were expecting him to smile… He couldn’t. For lack of better explanation, his smile in his yearbook picture looked a lot like this emoji: 😕
He had a stroke on the playground that other kids had noticed and notified the teachers when half of his face drooped down. I didn’t witness that, thankfully. I was probably too busy jumping off of the highest part of the playground. He couldn’t…
Rest in peace, Garret.
Great to see my countrymen on the podcast (And even my namesake!). Looking forward to listening.
Great interview with Mr Cockburn!! 😮
I saw cockburn and I clicked
Same
We should hang out sometime.
(RUclips keeps deleting this comment not realizing that it’s a joke.)
Yep I just clicked too read the comments, what a name for a runner.
My 7 year old son has B type ALL. Ironically, his Dr. stated that if you’re going to get leukemia, that’s the one to get. My son is a little over a year into his treatment and has a year to go. But he is the bravest little kid I know based on what I have seen him go through. My heart goes out to you and your parents Mr Cockburn. God bless.
Great pod, shoutout to Ian for sharing his story
In 1997, Bayer and the other three manufacturers agreed to pay $660 million to settle cases on behalf of more than 6,000 hemophiliacs infected in United States in the early 1980s, paying an estimated $100,000 net to each infected hemophiliac.
Contaminated haemophilia blood products - Wikipedia
Its nice to see this being talked about as i was given infected blood when i was a baby and i never found out until i was 25, it ive had to have multiple operatikns including my spleen being removed, im quite lucky as it could have been alot worse. But what's quite sickening about the whole thing was they knew the blood was infected for years before I was born but still used it and if they had no choice but to use it they didn't even make an attempt to contact people who may have been infected, the government should have sent out a country wide letter asking if you had a blood transfusion between these years go to your doctor for a blood test.
Great podcast. My aunt died after getting hepatitis c from a blood transfusion in the US in the 70s. No idea if it was from factor 8 though.
Legit last name.. I thought it was click bait.. imagine having Cockburn on your nametape, fuggin awesome
I give Andy 5 minutes before he brings up this man’s unfortunate last name.
The English have interesting names at times. We had a supply chain director in Birmingham whose name was Rosie Toogood. lol.
Interesting hearing Ian's experiences. Too many people aren't grateful for what they have, and we've all made similar mistakes. Seems like a great dude.
Ha, I expected it to be the first thing
If you listen to the intro, you learn that he did not want to use his real last name, and he let Andy choose what name to use.
I think 5 minutes is extremely lenient
@@cegda5886 FR these cockburns always comment before even listening
The podcast Bed Of Lies on Spotify has a series that takes a deep dive into the penal blood banks.
We lost my father and 2 of his brothers to HIV and his third brother to Hep C all 4 sons of my grandparents passed due to hemophilia medicine that was produced from factor 8.
Thank you Sirs! Shared.
Good morning! Enjoy the week!
And a good morning to you all aswell ❤
My gulf war Marine neighbor left the corps with all 10 fingers.
He now only has 8.
Alcohol is dumb. Don’t do it, people.
If Blood Broker was fascinating to you, you might want to read up where about 10% of blood plasma came from up until just a few years ago. There was a big blood trade at the us-mexico border where pharma companies had facilities so mexican people could cross the border on a visitorrs visa just to donate blood.
Absolutely amazing episode! Loved it.
This guy should be on the Shawn Ryan Show.
Did you hear something about blood products coming from Prisons ?
Tyler Grey on the podcast please!!!
Drug addiction should be ban and stopped in America then American youth will be safe
Andy youve been on point since the TRT lol
1:42:34 - "Terms like being a victim or, well I got a shitty hand early on, I got over it, things are all good now"
Is he related to Rooster?
Took him a few minutes to get Andy's sense of humor😁
Cockburn/Roosterfire/Richardburnt 🤣😂
Little know fact his middle name is "massive"
I'm sure you know TONS about the penis system, though Andy!
Getting a lot of salt in that pepper, Andy.
Soon you’ll be as old as your dad. Like next month.
🇺🇸🗽✝️📿🤙🏾
Love this show but this one could have started two hours in
Where does black rifle send their donations?
You’re trying some stupid gotcha question here, go watch the episode where Andy and brc discuss it in length instead of reading some headline and coming to a conclusion on one issue, be nuanced not a reactionary is something you hopefully would have learned if you listened and retained some of what Andy says.
@@kaiwoessner6558 I honestly dislike the coffee. Have seen it on sale at a local dent and save and no one is buying it. I do appreciate the reply. And you’re 💯 about it being a gotcha question. Hopefully people will pay attention to what people do with the taxed product of their labor. And buy coffee that tastes great from people who align with their beliefs.
@@12SobStory I implore you to watch the full discussion, I vote republican in my local election because it’s the better choice for me, but not every republican candidate it better than the respective dem candidate in some communities, why not look at policy and character of individuals candidates instead of only voting for whichever party you support blindly.
@@kaiwoessner6558 I’m against tyranny of all forms.
So amusing, have you looked into where all the large corporations that you have to buy from send money? Let's start with your everyday vehicle and your friggin groceries. Get back to me.
Andy Mr. Cockburn would be good for a second episode to find out what happened as follow up.
Factor 8 is a particular clotting factor in blood clotting protein that is deficient in patients with hemophilia. He may have received it due to DIC developed as a result of the leukemia.
Also, type AB is a universal recipient, not donor.
His name reminds me of the time i met a gay man whose last name was Brownsword.
Good morning! A new episode is just wat I need to get through the first few hours of work … thx Andy
The fact that he's willing to go with tainted and penal in the same sentences is borderline legendary
Good evening! Have a fabulous day.
Cockburn. Nice. Good choice Andy.
Are those Wonka bars stacked up?? 😂😂
Who was governor at the time? Clinton?
🐔 🐓 🔥 🔥
Kids quotes: was watching the Lion King with my then 4yr old. Got to the part where mufasa saved his kid then got killed by scar. As I'm getting emotional thinking about my son's, I look over and he looks at me and says.... "whelp, he had that coming"..... little fuckin Savage!
This poor guy, first his initial diagnosis, his current situation, and the name you provided… did he ask you to Ingest a satchel of Richards?
Some people will do just about anything for money and/or power.
Good job Andy, 👏 I clicked on this episode for 2 reasons, cockburns, and it's Monday
Factor VIII is used to treat hemophilia, knew a family that the father had hemophilia and received Factor VIII and ended up contracting HIV and passed a couple of years later
Bayer? Same company who wrote hitler a thank you note for the 150 women they killed?
Cockburn though, c’mon bro 😂
