“Only a few maybe 100 were in the US”

You might to do more research on that number.

Research isn’t going to make my number more exact

“HOW MANY BABIES WERE MAIMED BY THALIDOMIDE SAMPLES DISTRIBUTED TO PREGNANT WOMEN BY AMERICAN DRUG COMPANIES?

Almost every available source, published from 1962 through 2019, states that seventeen “thalidomide babies” were born in the U.S.
Shockingly, the FDA never publicly revealed that the number 17 was certainly an enormous undercount. Their records suggest there could be dozens or hundreds of babies whose mothers received thalidomide samples from American drug companies. These babies, now adults, have never been counted, recognized or compensated for their enormous losses.

With an estimated 40% infant death rate and an unknown number of miscarriages, the damage caused by the reckless distribution of thalidomide samples to pregnant women in the United States is staggering. “
