During the 1970s and 1980s Pharmaceutical companies knowingly sold products contaminated with Hepatitis C and HIV to Haemophiliacs........Learn with Plainly ...
Personally, I think the title is very clickbaity. Yes, people were infected with HIV and Hepatitis. However, today, infections from blood products and medicine are almost unheard of due to the rigorous testing and administration standards that were set in place throughout the decades that have passed since the 70s.
All needles are new when you get an injection. (No, we don’t use the same needle we stuck in the vial to fill the syringe.)
All containers must be physically sealed and physically “pass” a visual test. (The clear solution shouldn’t be cloudy, vice versa) 
Every single vial and blood product has a lot number and ability to trace the exact time and place it was made all the way to where it has been through.
Blood donors are tested for HIV as they apply.
And the one that happens here in the US, and although it is kind of discriminatory, no people that are at a very HIGH risk of becoming infected HIV (including gay men) can donate blood without waiting. Even if you are HIV(-)
Creating distrust in the medical community is not the way to get people on board with universal healthcare, or socialism. It fuels the beliefs that medical care is a fraud and or not a basic human right because it doesn’t work (doesn’t everyone deserve a second chance?).
Big Pharma is evil because it likes profits, not because it likes deaths. If you can convince everyone that nurturing lives is more valuable than short term profits then humanity can continue evolving.
Edit: also this is not a cover up, it is a very well known scandal that has caused paranoia to echo past decades within the medical and science community. Probably not very common to hear about because no one wants to hear anything other than “great YOU can’t infect US” because hearing “oh good WE can’t infect YOU” is gonna make everyone yank their arm away and cause massive blood shortages nationwide.
