2. Don't you just love the free market?
When dumping aids infected medicine in foreign countries is considered a smart business decision. Never mind the deaths, illness and suffering of children, Bayer made a profit.

3. drugs
This is the first I've heard of this, though it looks like it happened awhile ago.

I am curious does Bayer sell drugs to fight Aids - any reason they would have had to profit off of selling this medicine other than by selling the medicine itself?

4. Also, for anyone interested in Bayer's history, Google Bayer and...
...terms like Nazi Germany, IG Farben, death camps.

5. So many crimes, so little outrage.
What will it take to get the criminals out of power and into prison?

6. The exposure of the scandal may have been long ago but ...
people are still suffering today. Its just another blameless death and destruction crime that impacts millions.

Tainted Blood scandal

Within the past two weeks, there was story about the Iraqi Health Ministry stopping use of tainted blood products and a Gitmo inmate in solidary confinement contracting AIDS.

'We' are connected to death industries that spread their 'wares' around the world.

Fucking drug companies.

This was back in the '80s, before they started heat treating the product.
