How a miracle treatment turned deadly and changed the course of the AIDS crisis.

By the mid 1980s, AIDS hysteria was so rampant that a fearful and prejudiced public ignored stories of gay men falling ill with lesions and mouth ulcers. President Reagan avoided mentioning the disease entirely. Then, as chronicled in Blood Farm, a new HIV-positive population emerged, one that included kids like Ken Dixon, Brad Cross, and Ryan White who had been infected as young as ten years old. But how?

Unbeknownst to doctors and patients, pharmaceutical companies like Bayer, Baxter, and Armour collected plasma on skid row, in night clubs, and in some of America’s most notorious prisons to make Factor VIII, a new miracle treatment for hemophilia. Companies knew these practices put patients at high risk of HIV, but miracles are a lucrative business, so they knowingly sold an infected product and effectively played Russian Roulette with hemophiliacs’ lives. The results were catastrophic. In America, some 8,000 people with hemophilia contracted HIV; only 700 are alive today.

Award-winning journalist Cara McGoogan daringly exposes an expansive map of corporate greed and negligence that led to one of the biggest overlooked medical scandals in history. Alongside her we meet survivors turned activists, determined small town lawyers, and fearless reporters desperate for justice. Their fight for retribution created a critical inflection point in the AIDS crisis: stigmas shifted, settlements were awarded, and, later, President George H.W. Bush signed into law the largest federal program on HIV. In shocking, riveting detail, Blood Farm uncovers how a miracle treatment became a deadly poison and forever changed our understanding of AIDS.

奇迹疗法如何变致命并改变了艾滋病危机的进程 到1980年代中期，艾滋病恐慌已经蔓延至严重且带有偏见的公众忽视了同性恋者因出现疮疹和口腔溃疡而生病的故事。里根总统完全避免提及该疾病。随后，《农场里的血液》一书记载了一种新的HIV阳性群体涌现出来，其中包括像肯·迪克森、布莱德·克罗克斯以及瑞安·怀特这样的10岁左右就感染上艾滋病的孩子们。但事情到底是怎么发生的？ 医学专家和患者均未得知，制药公司如拜耳、贝斯特克斯和阿默尔在贫民窟、夜店以及美国最臭名昭著的监狱里收集血液以制造治疗血友病的新奇迹——因子VIII。这些公司知道这种做法会将病人置于高风险下感染艾滋病，但奇迹是获利丰厚的生意，因此他们明知故犯地出售受艾滋病毒污染的产品，并且直接与血液病患者的生命玩着俄罗斯轮盘赌游戏。结果非常糟糕。在美洲，有8000多名血友病患者感染了艾滋病；只有700人仍然活着。 获奖记者卡拉·麦克戈根（Cara McGoogan）大胆揭露了一种广泛的公司贪婪和疏忽行为导致的最被忽视的历史性医疗丑闻的地图。她与我们一同遇到了成为维权者的幸存者、坚持小镇律师以及渴求正义的无畏记者。他们的复仇斗争在艾滋病危机中形成了一个关键转折点：歧视开始减少，赔偿金也被授予，而且后来乔治·H·W·布什总统签署通过了最大规模的联邦艾滋病防治项目。《农场里的血液》一书用令人震惊且扣人心弦的细节揭露了一种奇迹疗法变成了致命毒药，并永远改变了我们对艾滋病的理解。
