Here's a little-known truth about Bayer that needs to be
revisited. In 2006, it was discovered that Bayer found out
a vaccine it was selling in the United States was accidentally
contaminated with HIV.
In order to cover its tracks, say the journalists in this
video (below), Bayer pulled the vaccines off the market and
sold them to consumers in Japan, France, Spain and other countries,
where hemophiliacs were then contaminated with HIV due to
the vaccine.
And yet, despite these apparent crimes, no Bayer executives
ever faced arrest or prosecution in the United States.

A Bayer spinmeister had this to say: "Bayer behaved
responsibly, ethically and humanely... [and its actions] were
consistent with regulations."
Sure they did. Don't forget that Bayer is the same pharmaceutical
company linked to Nazi Germany's medical experiments on concentration
camp prisoners. They have a long and dark history of being
involved in the manufacture of chemical weapons. As stated
on CorporateWatch.org (http://archive.corporatewatch.org/profi...):
" IG Farben continued to grow during the inter-war period
as one of the most powerful chemical and pharmaceutical companies
in the world. Products included polyurethanes and the first
'sulpha' drugs. It is during Nazi-era Germany and WW2 that
IG Farben (Bayer) entered its most sinister phase. IG Farben
as the leading chemical company in Nazi Germany took over
chemical plants across Nazi occupied Europe, used slave-labour
in their factories (including operating their own concentration
camp), conducted medical experiments on those held in the
concentration camps and manufactured the poison gas used to
kill thousands. At the end of the war the 1945 Potsdam Agreement
called for the break up of IG Farben into its constituent
companies. Twelve IG Farben employees and directors were jailed
for war crimes at the Nuremburg Trials."
Anybody who takes anything made by Bayer is, in my opinion,
supporting a corporation that has been committing crimes against
humanity for nearly a hundred years.
