Reply to comment by BadaBina in WHO urges action after cough syrups linked to more than 300 child deaths by datamigrationdata

Are you referring to the Tylenol murders?

Nope. That time Bayer sold a whole fuckload of HIV contaminated aspirin to Japan and the Middle East. Iran, Iraq, and Japan I think. I love the downvotes. Downvoted for being horrified that this keeps happening and nobody stops it, or downvoted because someone just didn't understand it and thought I was a big ol meanie. Either way, it says a lot.

I am old enough to remember the Tylenol murders here though. My grandmother wouldn't let us take anything but Yarrow, Lantana and Milkweed for any and all illness. I think it took 11 years before she trusted the "factory sealing." ....

You don't understand it though. Bayer sold tainted plasma. You can't get HIV by ingesting a pill. Your right in that Bayer is a horrible company given it's history, but you can't call people out for not understanding when you don't even have the facts right.

I knew about the blood but I honestly could have sworn that it was ALSO contaminated medication. I looked and looked and you're correct. Absolutely not aspirin at all!

GIMME ALL YA DOWNVOTES, MOTHERFUCKERS, COS I GOT IT COMIN!

I really appreciate the correction and I accept full responsibility for my unnecessarily saucily impolite attitude towards people who didn't understand when the not understander was ME. IT WAS MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Thanks, man 💚
