Bayer. They knowingly sold HIV infected blood to Latin America after the blood was rejected in Europe. This still blows my mind. Some corporate waste of oxygen actually decided to do this. It wasn’t an accident. That guy needs to get stabbed with thousandsten fucking thousandof AIDS needles.
And the Essure permanent birth control device, causing persistent pain, bleeding and other health problems to thousands of women. Withdrawn from the US market before the Netflix documentary released
Because by 1944 they used around 4500 forced labourers (foreigners, POWs) in dangerous condition. Oh, and they apparently bought 170 female prisoners, who then all died during some experiment:
A Bayer employee wrote to Rudolf Höss, the Auschwitz commandant: “The transport of 150 women arrived in good condition. However, we were unable to obtain conclusive results because they died during the experiments. We would kindly request that you send us another group of women to the same number and at the same price.”
I was actually thinking of Norm Macdonald’s catchphrase “the more I hear about that Hitler fellow, the less I like him!” but yeah, that’s heinous as fuck too 😬
Hah, poor guy, because I never heard of him before, and he was mentioned in the same breath as Hitler, I thought he has to be some pretty shady dude, but otherwise ignored that part :D
Did a little bit of digging on that one, before being bought by Bayer, the Cutter biological division was responsible for another pharmaceutical disaster. They accidentally (?) sold 120 000 doses of polio vaccines containing the live polio virus.
They also acquired and still run the business previously done by Monsanto known for things like agent orange and eliminating corn biodiversity. Their legal department is also infamous for bankrupting small farmers.

Thanks, I fixed my post
‘moral issues above profit’ … yeah, I can’t believe that of all things is an issue
They also bought Monsanto and, if anything, ramped up the evil from THAT murderous shitshow!
Why am I suddenly thinking about Norm Macdonald and Hitler? 😉

Quite the opposite, actually: he was a great comedian known for his deadpan delivery of the most outrageous things 😁
Here he is affably roasting the fuck out of people 😄

Jesus. Straight to the top
Also inventing heroin and marketing it as cough medicine.
Lots of drugs started out as medicine. And heroin is a great medicine, still used in this sense today.
Does it work as cough medicine at all?
As a kid I had really bad asthma, which led to a lot of chest congestion. Had codeine around for when it got bad. Worked quite nicely, indeed.
