La historia de Big Pharma - Bayer (IG Farben), la FDA y el virus del 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.

- Exposure to particular sources of air pollution is harmful to children’s learning and memoryel noviembre 1, 2024
A new study involving 8,500 children from across the United States has revealed that a form of air pollution, largely the product of agricultural emissions, is linked to poor learning and memory performance in 9- and 10-year-olds. The specific pollutant, ammonium nitrate, is also implicated in Alzheimer’s and dementia risk in adults, suggesting that PM2.5 may cause neurocognitive harm across the lifespan.
- New Huntington’s treatment prevents protein aggregationel noviembre 1, 2024
Patients with Huntington’s disease have a genetic mutation that triggers proteins to misfold and clump together in the brain. These clumps interfere with cell function and eventually lead to cell death. The new treatment leverages peptide-brush polymers, which act as a shield to prevent proteins from binding to one another. In studies in mice, the treatment successfully rescued neurons to reverse symptoms.

A team of researchers has uncovered a groundbreaking mechanism in the formation of harmful protein aggregates that lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s Disease. The team, led by Professor Norifumi Shioda and Associate Professor Yasushi Yabuki, identified for the first time that unique RNA structures called G-quadruplexes (G4s) play a central role in promoting the aggregation of alpha-synuclein, a protein associated with neurodegeneration. By demonstrating that inhibiting G4 […]

A team led by researchers has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of reprogrammed neurons found by other researchers. Their findings refute the popular theory in cellular reprogramming that any developed cell can be induced to switch its identity to a completely unrelated cell type through the infusion of transcription factors.

- Effects of Vegan and Omnivore Diet on Post-Downhill Running Economy and Muscle Functionel noviembre 1, 2024
CONCLUSION: The lack of differences in recovery between the groups suggests that nutritional adequacy may play a role in recovery. Recovery from downhill running might be influenced by several factors beyond diet, such as exercise protocol intensity, individual fitness levels, and age.
- Gastrointestinal fate of proteins from commercial plant-based meat analogs: Silent passage through the stomach, oxidative stress in intestine, and gut dysbiosis in Wistar ratsel octubre 30, 2024
Plant-based meat analogs (PBMAs) are common ultra-processed foods (UPFs) included in the vegan/vegetarian diets as presumed healthy alternatives to meat and meat products. However, such health claims need to be supported by scientific evidence. To gain further insight into this topic, two commercial UPFs typically sold as meat analogs, namely, seitan (S) and tofu (T), were included in a cereal-based chow and provided to Wistar rats for 10 weeks. A group of animals had, simultaneously, an…

Adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MeD) has been associated with a reduced incidence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD)/lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) in observational trials and in a randomized trial. In secondary prevention, a lower hazard ratio for composite major adverse cardiovascular events has been associated with better adherence to MeD in a relatively small, randomized trial. This has not been confirmed in a sub-analysis of a large interventional trial of dual…

- Differences in within-plant oviposition preferences and immature survival between Orius predators and the importance of spatial availability of preypor Angelos Mouratidis el noviembre 1, 2024
Oviposition preferences of plant-feeding predators remain a complex topic, as such omnivores choose oviposition sites by assessing both plant characteristics and the quality and quantity of nearby animal food sources. Orius predators are omnivores that oviposit endophytically, thus plant characteristics play an important role in their oviposition choices. In this study, we assessed the oviposition and foraging preferences of O. laevigatus and O. majusculus on vegetative and flowering…

- Expression interplay of genes coding for calcium-binding proteins and transcription factors during the osmotic phase provides insights on salt stress response mechanisms in bread wheatpor Diana Duarte-Delgado el noviembre 1, 2024
Bread wheat is an important crop for the human diet, but the increasing soil salinization is reducing the yield. The Ca^(2+) signaling events at the early stages of the osmotic phase of salt stress are crucial for the acclimation response of the plants through the performance of calcium-sensing proteins, which activate or repress transcription factors (TFs) that affect the expression of downstream genes. Physiological, genetic mapping, and transcriptomics studies performed with the […]
