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.

- Experts warn: Smartphones before 13 could harm mental health for lifeon septiembre 6, 2025
Getting a smartphone before age 13 may drastically increase the risk of poor mental health later in life, according to data from more than 100,000 people. Early use is linked to suicidal thoughts, aggression, and detachment, largely driven by social media, cyberbullying, and lost sleep. Researchers urge urgent action to restrict access and protect young minds.
- The fat you can’t see may be damaging your heart, even if you exerciseon septiembre 6, 2025
Hidden fat wrapped around organs, known as visceral fat, has now been linked to faster heart aging. Using AI and imaging from more than 21,000 people in the UK Biobank, scientists found that this invisible belly fat accelerates stiffening and inflammation of the heart, while fat stored around hips and thighs may actually protect women.
- Scientists watch Parkinson’s protein drill holes in brain cellson septiembre 5, 2025
Scientists have uncovered a surprising way Parkinson’s disease may start: tiny toxic proteins that punch holes in brain cells like revolving doors. Instead of causing instant collapse, these flickering pores slowly weaken the cells, which could explain the gradual onset of symptoms.
- Scientists reveal how breakfast timing may predict how long you liveon septiembre 4, 2025
Meal timing shifts with age, and researchers found that eating breakfast later is tied to depression, fatigue, sleep problems, and an increased risk of death. Monitoring when meals are eaten could provide an easy health marker for aging adults.
- Sweeteners in diet drinks may steal years from the brainon septiembre 4, 2025
A large Brazilian study following more than 12,000 middle-aged adults found that those consuming the most artificial sweeteners—commonly found in diet sodas, flavored waters, and processed snacks—experienced significantly faster declines in memory and thinking skills. The effect was equivalent to about 1.6 years of extra brain aging, with the strongest impact seen in people under 60 and those with diabetes.
- A 3-minute brainwave test could spot Alzheimer’s years before symptomson septiembre 4, 2025
Scientists at the University of Bath have developed a simple three-minute brainwave test called Fastball EEG that can detect memory problems years before Alzheimer’s is typically diagnosed. Unlike traditional memory tests, it passively records brain responses to images and has now been proven effective in people’s homes. With breakthrough Alzheimer’s drugs working best in early stages, this low-cost, accessible tool could transform early detection and treatment.
- Metformin’s mysterious metal effect could explain its big health benefitson septiembre 3, 2025
Metformin, the world’s most widely used diabetes drug, has long been recognized for its surprising range of benefits beyond lowering blood sugar, from reducing inflammation to lowering cancer risk. Yet its exact mechanism has remained unclear for decades. Now, researchers at Kobe University have uncovered the first clinical evidence that the drug alters levels of key metals in the blood.

- Vegetarian diets for longevity: friend or foe?on septiembre 3, 2025
Vegetarianism is a healthy dietary pattern that is postulated to increase longevity. Vegetarianism is adopted for animal ethics, environmental reasons, or religious beliefs. Vegetarian diets are believed to improve the gut microbiome, body weight, cardiovascular health and inflammation; however, a synthesis of the up-to-date evidence does not seem to support these effects. When objective measures are sought, it becomes apparent that there is a lack of high-quality evidence regarding the […]

- Feasibility of an online nutrition intervention to improve adherence to healthy and sustainable diets in young Australian adults: protocol for a pilot pre-post intervention studypor Bill Tiger Lam on septiembre 5, 2025
INTRODUCTION: Current diets which are commonly high in meat and ultra-processed foods are unhealthy and unsustainable and contribute significantly to climate change, environmental degradation and poor health outcomes. Transitioning to healthy and sustainable diets that are rich in plant-based foods and low in animal products could reduce environmental impacts and improve population health. Young Australian adults are a critical target group for dietary intervention as they are motivated […]
- Interactions between nutrition and frailtypor Dorothee Volkert on septiembre 4, 2025
Nutrition is considered to play a key role in the multifactorial development of frailty. Conversely, frailty also affects nutrition. The aim of this article is to describe the interactions between these two entities in detail and to derive nutritional recommendations. On the one hand undernutrition and the resulting loss of body weight and muscle mass contribute to the development of sarcopenia and thus to the development of frailty. On the other hand obesity is associated with an increased […]
