Big Pharma “Knowingly Sold” HIV-Infected Products In Asia & Latin America (Jimmy Dore)

Back in the early 1980s a division of the German pharmaceutical company Bayer knowingly sold blood-clotting agents infected with HIV to Asia and Latin America months after withdrawing them from Europe and the US. The division – Cutter Biological – continued to dump stocks of the factor VIII blood-clotting agent for hemophiliacs on poor countries for nearly a year after introducing a safer alternative.

Jimmy suggests that after knowingly infected patients with HIV at a time when there was no cure, Big Pharma has given up the benefit of the doubt far too many afford the industry.
