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.
