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.

- Assembly instructions for enzymeson mayo 23, 2025
In biology, enzymes have evolved over millions of years to drive chemical reactions. Scientists have now derived universal rules to enable the de novo design of optimal enzymes. As an example, they considered the enzymatic reaction of breaking a dimer into two monomer molecules. Considering the geometry of such an enzyme-substrate-complex, they identified three golden rules that should be considered to build a functional enzyme.

Recently, more people have adopted plant-based diets for health, environmental and ethical reasons. These diets offer significant health benefits for adults, including reduced chronic disease risk. However, research on plant-based diets for children is limited and often focuses on the risks of poorly planned diets. The lack of comprehensive studies leads to inconsistent recommendations for vegan (VN) diets in children, underscoring the need for a synthesized knowledge base to guide future…
- Modern challenges of iodine nutrition: vegan and vegetarian dietson mayo 23, 2025
Vegetarian diets are gaining popularity worldwide, especially among women and in the younger part of the population, rising some concerns for the risk of inadequate iodine requirements if the diet is not correctly planned. Indeed, subjects under vegetarian dietary regimens, mainly the vegan ones, are at risk of developing both iodine deficiency and excess, due to lack of animal-derived foods on the one hand, and to the use of vegan alternatives (such as seaweed) and over-the-counter […]
- Exploring the crosstalk between gut microbiota and stool metabolome in omnivorous, vegetarian, and vegan diets: a pilot studyon mayo 21, 2025
Gut microbiota (GM) and fecal metabolome are shaped by different dietary regimens. Nevertheless, outlining generalized patterns is challenging, due to the intrinsic heterogeneity of individual dietary choices. In this work, the fecal metabolome of adult volunteers consuming omnivorous (n = 44), vegetarian (n = 29), and vegan diets (n = 25) for at least 12 months was characterized. The crosstalk among diet, GM and fecal metabolome was also investigated correlating metabolomics and […]
