Bayer Knowingly Sold HIV-Contaminated Vaccines

The fact that this took place some time ago and no one involved (in America) has been prosecuted is typical and the normal procedure for how we allow major corporations (even if they are not of this country) to get away with all kinds of offenses in our society. Is this a disgusting thing to happen in America or what? Big Pharma getting away with selling tainted vaccines is par for the course in America and, of course, its because of their money!  Thank goodness for reporters like Mike Adams, Naturalnews.com, who’s one great reporter to keep reminding us that some crimes have not been paid for.

Here’s a little-known truth about Bayer that needs to be revisited. In 2006, it was discovered that Bayer found out a vaccine it was selling in the United States was accidentally contaminated with HIV.

In order to cover its tracks, say the journalists in this video (below), Bayer pulled the vaccines off the market and sold them to consumers in Japan, France, Spain and other countries, where hemophiliacs were then contaminated with HIV due to the vaccine.

And yet, despite these apparent crimes, no Bayer executives ever faced arrest or prosecution in the United States.

A Bayer spinmeister had this to say: “Bayer behaved responsibly, ethically and humanely… [and its actions] were consistent with regulations.” [Read the full article here]

Although the business end of  Bayer in America has not been prosecuted, the same can not be said for those found across the ocean.  Of course we all know when you commit a crime in America we like to give it color codes (white, blue, etc) to indicate its not as offensive as say killing someone.  Oops, that’s exactly what Bayer did.  They did it knowingly and for a profit.

The Bayer unit, Cutter Biological, introduced its safer medicine in late February 1984 as evidence mounted that the earlier version was infecting hemophiliacs with H.I.V. Yet for over a year, the company continued to sell the old medicine overseas, prompting a United States regulator to accuse Cutter of breaking its promise to stop selling the product.

Nearly two decades later, the precise human toll of these marketing decisions is difficult, if not impossible, to document. Many patient records are now unavailable, and because an AIDS test was not developed until later in the epidemic, it is difficult to pinpoint when foreign hemophiliacs were infected with H.I.V. — before Cutter began selling its safer medicine or afterward.

But in Hong Kong and Taiwan alone, more than 100 hemophiliacs got H.I.V. after using Cutter’s old medicine, according to records and interviews. Many have since died. Cutter also continued to sell the older product after February 1984 in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Japan and Argentina, records show. The Cutter documents, which were produced in connection with lawsuits filed by American hemophiliacs, went largely unnoticed until The Times began asking about them.

This is not the only time Bayer has been involved in criminal acts.  In 2004 Bayer was prosecuted and found guilty for fixing prices in the Rubber Chemicals market.  In that case Bayer was ordered to pay $66 million fine.  The fact that Bayer’s history extend during the days of Hitler gives us reason to dig even deeper.  It turns out that Bayer is the same company linked to Nazi German’s medical experiments on concentration camp prisoners and they have a long and dark history of being involved in manufacturing chemical weapons.  Hm…now we know where their ethnics come from.
