La historia de Big Pharma - Bayer (IG Farben), la FDA y el virus del SIDA
Bayer pagó cientos de millones de dólares para poner fin a un escándalo de tres décadas en el que la empresa vendió sangre contaminada con VIH a hemofílicos, miles de los cuales murieron posteriormente de sida.

Actualizado el 4 de agosto de 2023La ciencia de la nutrición explicó hace décadas todas las conexiones entre las enfermedades de la opulencia y el consumo de alimentos de origen animal. La mayoría de nuestros asesinos número uno se pueden prevenir, pero no hay ningún interés en cambiar la actual línea de negocio. Toda la ciencia disponible se mantendrá al margen del público y, en realidad, no importa.
Lo que la mayoría de la gente conoce no es más que propaganda. Los médicos son buenos, tienen que hacer un juramento hipocrático, están ahí para curarte y ayudarte y, por supuesto, algún día la medicina nos librará de todas las enfermedades. Normalmente, cuando la gente se enfrenta a la verdadera historia que hay detrás de las grandes farmacéuticas y se da cuenta de la verdad que government itself has a network for suppressing the science and that individual men’s interest is not its primary goal, suelen decir que todo eso pertenece al pasado. Hoy tenemos más democracia y libertades con un mejor control gubernamental, etcétera.
La respuesta es no. Tenemos incluso menos libertades que después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Nos han lavado el cerebro en las escuelas y a través de los medios de comunicación impregnados de investigación psicológica para el control social, pero nada más es diferente. La misma estructura existe y ha existido no sólo desde la edad media, sino incluso antes.
I will give one more recent example. You’d probably never know that Bayer (IG Farben) paid “tens of millions” of dollars to end a three-decade-long scandal in which the company sold HIV-contaminated blood products to hemophiliacs, thousands of whom later died of AIDS. Bayer is eventually forced into signing checks to individuals that acquired AIDS because, in the 1980s, the Cutter Biological section of Bayer neglected federal law and recruited gay men with high risk and intravenous drug users, and prisoners as donors of the blood that Cutter later used to produce Factor VIII and IX. It is a drug, the clotting product, that hemophiliacs need in order to not bleed to death. In 1997 Bayer was sentenced to pay 600 million into a compensation fund for hemophiliacs with HIV. About 20,000 individuals caught HIV from the blood.
Ironically, Bayer’s new hemophilia iPhone app got some coverage, as did Bayer’s hemophilia research grant to the University of Florida.
El 16 de julio de 1982, los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) de Estados Unidos sugirieron que tres hemofílicos habían contraído el SIDA. Los epidemiólogos empezaron a pensar que el virus se propagaba a través de la medicación que los hemofílicos se inyectaban una vez a la semana. La medicación se elaboraba a partir de grandes reservas de plasma donado por diferentes personas. Gran parte del cual se recogía antes de la prueba obligatoria del VIH, a menudo de homosexuales y consumidores de drogas y en algunas prisiones. Sin una prueba de infección, no tenían forma de determinar si los donantes de plasma eran portadores del virus. En enero de 1983, el director del departamento biológico Cutter de Bayer confirmó en una carta que:
“There is strong evidence to suggest that AIDS is passed on to other people through … plasma products.”
These letters surfaced in trials and were found by some of the investigative journalists that later broke the story public. By May 1983, a Cutter competitor started producing a heat-treated concentrate that killed the virus, so France for example, and many other countries decided to halt all clotting concentrate imports. Cutter worried about losing consumers, so according to an enclosed memo: “want to give the impression that we continue improving our product without telling them that soon we were also going to have a heat-treated” concentrate. By June 1983, a Cutter letter to distributors to 20 countries said that:
“AIDS has become the center of irrational response in many countries” and that “This is of particular concern to us because of unsubstantiated speculations that certain blood products may transmit this syndrome.”
They lied, and many countries were still using an old concentrate. In February 1984, Cutter became the last of the four major blood product companies to get US approval to sell heated concentrate. They waited as long as possible. Still even after Cutter started to sell the new product, still for several more months, they continued making the old medicine. The reason was that the corporation had several fixed-price contracts and thought that the old product would be cheaper to produce. Bayer officials (responding on behalf of Cutter) responded with another lie: “because some customers doubted the new drug’s effectiveness,” some nations were slow to support registration of the new drug. Then they lied by telling that they had a shortage of plasma, which is used to make the medicine. For example, Taiwan was one country that still received the old HIV-infected drug. Hsu Chien-wen, an official at Taiwan’s health department, told in 2003 that Cutter had not appealed for approval to sell the heated medicine until July 1985. That was for an entire year and a half after doing so in the United States. In Hong Kong, for example, Cutter did not even need approval but only an import license in the 1980s to be able to import and sell the newer product in which normally takes one week. A company meeting notes that:
“There is excess inventory,”
que, en realidad, produjo la resolución de la empresa:
“Review international markets again to determine if more of this product can be sold.”
Because of the lack of control and corruption Cutter decided to dispose of stockpiles of older HIV-positive drugs to third world countries while selling the new, safer product in the West. If some of the people catch AIDS well, they can take Aspirin for pain. And of course, there are all third world countries, so it is going to go well with eugenic programs of depopulation of the planet. When hemophiliacs in Hong Kong all of the sudden start to test positive for HIV, local physicians raised the question of whether Cutter was dumping “AIDS tainted” medicine into less-developed countries. Cutter rejected the accusation, insisting that older drug had “no severe hazard risk” and was, in fact, the “same fine product we have supplied for years.” Hong Kong did not believe the lie, and when the local distributor asked for the newer product, Cutter responded that all of the new product was going to the US and Europe. For Hong Kong, and other third-world countries they could make an exception for a small amount for the “most vocal patients.” Meaning influential people that could potentially make a problem for them. So if you are a son of a politician, they will give you new safe stuff.
La Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos de Estados Unidos contribuyó a que la noticia no trascendiera a la opinión pública. Government is not there to protect you and never had been. In May 1985, the FDA’s regulator of blood products, Harry M. Meyer Jr., considering the companies had violated a voluntary arrangement to remove the old drug from the market, called directors of the corporations and directed them to comply. Cutter’s internal notes from their meeting show that Meyer required that the issue is:
“Quietly solved without alerting the Congress, the medical community and the public”
also noted that the FDA wanted the matter solved “quickly and quietly.” Also at that time, Cutter official wrote that:
“It appears there are no longer any markets in the Far East where we can expect to sell substantial quantities of nonheated-treated medicine.”
They sell AIDS-tainted medicine as long as possible with no empathy. The effects of all of this are impossible to calculate because there was no test for HIV, so we do not know how many people were infected with HIV before Cutter began selling its safer medicine or afterward. Cutter also sold the old medicine in Argentina, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore after February 1984. Cutter shipped more than 100,000 vials of unheated concentrate, worth more than $4 million after it began selling the safer product. The sales continued partly because of Cutter’s desire to deplete stocks of the older medicine, and partly because of fixed-price contracts, for which the company believed the older product would be cheaper to make. U.S. Justice Department had never investigated any corporate executives. Bayer in the past even marketed heroin for children. That is the level of psychopathic nature of these people.

- The plant virus that trains your immune system to kill canceron julio 25, 2025
A virus from humble black-eyed peas is showing extraordinary promise in the fight against cancer. Unlike other plant viruses, the cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) can awaken the human immune system and transform it into a cancer-fighting powerhouse, without infecting human cells. By comparing it to a similar, but ineffective, virus, researchers uncovered that CPMV uniquely triggers potent interferons and immune responses, making it a low-cost, plant-grown immunotherapy on the fast track toward […]
- This bedtime snack swap could rewire your gut and help prevent diabeteson julio 25, 2025
A new study reveals that swapping a typical nighttime carbohydrate snack for pistachios may beneficially alter gut bacteria in people with prediabetes. Conducted by Penn State researchers, the 12-week clinical trial found that pistachio consumption increased beneficial gut microbes like Roseburia and reduced harmful ones such as Blautia hydrogenotrophica. These microbiome changes could potentially support metabolic health and slow the progression to Type 2 diabetes. While more research is […]

Scientists at Princeton and the Simons Foundation have identified four biologically distinct subtypes of autism, using data from over 5,000 children and a powerful new computational method. These subtypes—each with unique traits, developmental paths, and genetic signatures—promise to revolutionize how we understand, diagnose, and treat autism.
- Even without catching COVID, the pandemic may have quietly aged your brainon julio 24, 2025
Even people who never caught Covid-19 may have aged mentally faster during the pandemic, according to new brain scan research. This large UK study shows how the stress, isolation, and upheaval of lockdowns may have aged our brains, especially in older adults, men, and disadvantaged individuals. While infection itself impacted some thinking skills, even those who stayed virus-free showed signs of accelerated brain aging—possibly reversible. The study highlights how major life disruptions, not […]
- Scientists just resurrected the 1918 “Spanish Flu” virus—here’s what they foundon julio 24, 2025
Scientists in Switzerland have cracked open a century-old viral mystery by decoding the genome of the 1918 influenza virus from a preserved Zurich patient. This ancient RNA revealed that the virus had already adapted to humans at the very start of the pandemic, carrying mutations that made it both more infectious and more immune-resistant. By pioneering a new method to recover fragile RNA from preserved tissue, researchers gained rare insights into how flu viruses evolve. The study not only […]
- People with eating disorders say cannabis and psychedelics help more than antidepressantson julio 24, 2025
A massive global survey has revealed that people with eating disorders often turn to cannabis and psychedelics like magic mushrooms and LSD to ease their symptoms, rating them more effective than traditional medications. Surprisingly, common prescriptions like antidepressants were seen as helpful for overall mental health but fell short for eating disorder relief.

Italian students taking oral exams have a better shot at success if they’re scheduled around midday, according to new research. Analyzing over 100,000 assessments, scientists found a clear bell curve in pass rates, peaking between 11 AM and 1 PM. This time-based trend might not be limited to academia—job interviews and court decisions could be affected too. The researchers suggest biological rhythms, decision fatigue, and misaligned chronotypes between students and professors might all […]

The rise of fad diets and unregulated supplement use, amplified by social media and aggressive marketing, has dramatically shifted public attitudes toward nutrition and health. This new landscape is associated with a growing spectrum of dermatologic presentations, as the skin frequently serves as an early indicator of both nutritional deficiencies and toxicities. Popular dietary trends, such as ketogenic, carnivore, and raw vegan regimens, have been linked to cutaneous disorders, including…
- Arachidonic acid as a potentially critical nutrient for vegetarians and vegans – position paper of the Research Institute for Plant-based Nutrition (IFPE)on julio 19, 2025
The long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid arachidonic acid (ARA, 20:4n-6) is virtually non-existent in plant foods. Concerns have therefore been raised that a predominantly plant-based diet, i.e., a vegetarian or vegan diet, could lead to ARA deficiency. ARA is discussed as conditionally essential, particularly in early infancy and childhood. Therefore, the authors of this position paper provide an overview of the state of scientific research on ARA for Western countries, with a special focus […]
