How much was known about the carcinogenic effects of Cadmium during this period? Is it possible they didnt understand the risks or was malice involved?
Well they lied about it so, there was malice. My guess is they knew it was going to make some people terminally sick. Maybe they didn’t presume cancer, cause carcinogenic agents at that time were relatively unknown. Shoe shops had live x-ray machines, PCBs were all the rage and smoking was good for digestion...
On second thought, they totally knew. All the experiments were absolutely terrible at their core.

Does remind me of the Fallout video game series and their vaults, always amazes me when I'm constantly reminded that events like this actually happen
