TIL Bayer sold HIV and Hepatitis C contaminated blood products that caused up to 10,000 people in U.S.A alone to contract HIV. After they found out they pulled it off the shelves in the U.S. and sold it to countries in Asia and Latin America so they wouldn’t lose money from it.

White supremacy and capitalism intersecting.

The fact that this isn’t more well-known is astounding when you consider that Bayer introduced HIV into countries that previously had no recorded HIV cases at all like Japan and Iraq.

At the same time when the US media was spreading the homophobic myth that ‘gay flight attendants’ were taking the epidemic across the world, US corperations were actually spreading HIV contaminated medication with FDA approval.
