Did Bayer distribute HIV/AIDS?.....

I'm not sure I understand this NY Times article...

"The Bayer unit, Cutter Biological, introduced its safer medicine in late February 1984 as evidence mounted that the earlier version was infecting hemophiliacs with H.I.V"

"The documents ? internal memorandums, minutes of company marketing meetings and telexes to foreign distributors ? reveal and chronicle Cutter's decision to keep exporting the older product after it began making the new one, which was heat-treated to kill H.I.V. The heat treatment rendered the virus "undetectable" in the product, according to a government study.


Man.. wtf??
