gmwatch.org Bayer: a history Latest news on GMO food, GMO crops, GMO labelling and genetically modified organisms 1898: Bayer trademarks a new cough medicine for children. They call it Heroin.
1899: They also trademark aspirin. Enjoy it. It is the last unambiguously good thing on this list.
1900: Heroin is Bayer's best seller, marketed to mothers as non-addictive.
1915: Bayer's chemists help put poison gas into the trenches, and the firm's chairman argues for it in Berlin.
1925: Bayer folds into a chemical giant called IG Farben.
1940s: IG Farben builds a slave-labour plant at Auschwitz and part-owns the company that makes the Zyklon B.
1956: A director convicted at Nuremberg of slavery and plunder is quietly made chairman of Bayer's board.
1980s: Bayer learns its haemophilia blood product is riddled with HIV. Rather than destroy the stock, it keeps selling the untreated batches to Asia and Latin America to recoup the money. Thousands of haemophiliacs are infected. Many die.
2003: The New York Times prints the documents. Bayer helps settle for around $600 million and admits nothing.
2018: Bayer buys Monsanto, taking on Roundup, Agent Orange and PCBs in a single afternoon.
2026: The US Supreme Court throws out the Roundup cancer claims. Bayer wins.
Heroin, poison gas, Auschwitz, infected blood and a weedkiller in the dock, all from one firm.
Every one was legal, sold with total confidence and blessed by the experts of its day, and the company is bigger now than it has ever been.
The heroin got recalled. The company never did.View quoted post on X
