The Bayer TAINTED BLOOD Scandal: Did a Pharma Giant Knowingly INFECT Thousands In the 1980s, a pharmaceutical giant faced a choice: destroy millions of dollars of inventory, or knowingly sell a life-saving medicine they knew was contaminated with HIV and Hepatitis C. This is the story of the unthinkable decision they made. This is the Bayer Tainted Blood Scandal, one of the most chilling chapters in the history of Big Pharma. We investigate how Cutter Biological, a division of Bayer, deliberately sold HIV-contaminated blood-clotting products for hemophilia patients across Asia and Latin America. Why? Internal documents reveal a horrifying motive: to preserve profit margins and sell off old stock, even after a safer, heat-treated version was already being sold in the US. This act of pure corporate greed led to thousands of infections and deaths, creating a devastating new front in the AIDS epidemic. We'll expose the paper trail, the corporate meetings, and the complicity of officials like the FDA’s Dr. Harry M. Meyer Jr., who wanted the scandal to be "quietly solved" behind the scenes. This isn't just a story from the past; it's a terrifying case study in medical malpractice and a corporate cover-up of epic proportions. This is a story of betrayal that must never be forgotten. Subscribe and follow now to hear the full investigation, and share this vital story. Some truths must be brought to light.

“During the AIDS crisis when most people turned their back on gay men, lesbians stepped up to care for them, donate blood and help in any way they could. After this it was decided that GLBT would become LGBT.” @dannimoreno 😭💕✊🏽 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈

Blindspot: Season 3: The Plague in the Shadows | WNYC Studios | Podcasts Stories from the early days of AIDS — and the people who refused to stay out of sight

I avoided this podcast for a while bc I thought it would be too heartbreaking/maddening. And it is, but it’s also fantastic, informative, and full on inspiring people! #aidscrisis #warondrugs www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/bli...

"26,000 people died before (Reagan) even bothered to utter the word 'AIDS,'" Tim Sweeney, former executive director of Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) said in an interview for the GMHC Stories Oral History Project. @theconversation@newsie.social takes a look at how organizations like GMHC […]

Heartbreaking film about the fight for resources against all odds. The cast is brilliant and Ryan Murphy manages to depict the incredible cruelty of the system and the sheer exhaustion in the face of so much loss.

@georgetakei.bsky.social thank you, with deepest sincerity, thank you. I grew at the tale end of the #AIDsCrisis and Gay elders were in short supply. It makes the heart full knowing that at least one of our most visible can still rally hope.
