Recently unearthed documents prove that Bayer sold millions of dollars worth of an injectable blood-clotting medicine, Factor VIII concentrate intended for hemophiliacs, to Asian, Latin American, and some European countries in the mid-1980s, knowing all the while that it was tainted with AIDS.
Bayer knew that the drug was tainted with AIDS, and told the FDA.
Both Bayer and the FDA are at fault for this catastrophe. FDA regulators helped to keep the continued sales hidden, requesting the company that the problem be ”quietly solved without alerting the Congress, the medical community and the public,” according to the minutes of a 1985 meeting.
VIDEO: Attorney interviewed by Joe Scarborough of MSNBC. Bayer and the FDA conspired to distribute a drug called “factorate”, a hemophiliac drug tainted with the aids virus to Japan, Spain and France in the early 80s.
Coincidently, this is also when we first began to hear about this virus. Bayer corp. FULLY ADMITTED IN COURT TO KNOWING THIS DRUG WAS TAINTED WITH THE AIDS VIRUS AND SHIPPED IT REGARDLESS.
Bayer is also one of the companies involved in the Genetic Engineering of the foods on our store shelves today, none of which are labeled as such.

What did you expect? I continue to marvel at the incredulity of the average Moronic american. The actually still believe this system, (government, local, state, and federal) acts in their interests when seemingly every day something like this Bayer fraud comes to light. The same is true for food, toys, cars, and virtually everything americans consume. Medical care, my ass, I watched my mother killed by shoddy medical practice. My father has been sliced up from sunup to sundown and left a cripple by American Medicine. Reason for all of this? The accumulation of PROFIT. It has become acceptable since the “government” is only a tool of Corporate America has made profit the MOST important activity they engage in. Quality, quantity, availability?l, all notions of the past except where they can increase profits lawful or not. The last 8 years have seen the most greedy grubby side of the US. It’s LARGEST AND MOST VISIBLE SIDE. Exactly like hogs grubbing in feces and urine to get to the slop. A perfect description of republicans, and democrats, and the “system.” How many people die each year because of well known deficits in manufacturing in the US. What is the limit to this blowback? Any particular number of dead before the Corporation/government takes action? I realize the super rich want to see depopulation measures taken soon if not yesterday, but for krissakes, why don’t low life white pasty ill bread, IN bread garbage just take up firearms and have YOUR tool, the US Government just kill the people. Get it out in the open. Let’s see your real face!
