That's odd. Where'd all the Thalidomide babies come from, given that it was available by prescription and not over the counter?
In most countries, Thalidomide was sold over the counter. Not in the USA
In the U.S., the FDA refused approval to market thalidomide, saying further studies were needed. This reduced the impact of thalidomide in U.S. patients. The refusal was largely due to pharmacologist Frances Oldham Kelsey who withstood pressure from the Richardson-Merrell Pharmaceuticals Co. She subsequently was given a distinguished service award by President John F. Kennedy.[2] Although thalidomide was not approved for sale in the United States at the time, over 2.5 million tablets had been distributed to over 1,000 physicians during a clinical testing programme. It is estimated that nearly 20,000 patients, several hundred of whom were pregnant women, were given the drug to help alleviate morning sickness or as a sedative, and at least 17 children were consequently born in the United States with thalidomide-associated deformities.
And even more odd, most of your fellow jab-fanatics are twisting themselves into pretzels to forbid the use of Ivermectin.
I don't recall ANYONE on this board advocating for forbidding the use of Ivermectin. Certainly not me. Just another example of your disingenuous.
Careful with that bullet Barney Fife
In most countries, Thalidomide was sold over the counter. Not in the USA Then why were YOU the one trying to tell me that the FDA was formed over Thalidomide, and now you're reassuring me it was OK cause it was sold over the counter in most countries?
You're foaming at the mouth. And all because you can't admit you overshot rhetorically at the beginning.
Thalidomide was advertised as safe and foolproof, the results of "modern science"™
So are the jabs.
I don't recall ANYONE on this board advocating for forbidding the use of Ivermectin. Certainly not me. Just another example of your disingenuous.
Your reading skills are falling: I specifically exempted you.
Jump the gun much, do you?
