Makers of #Wegovy: “Not since #Thalidomide has a single, fully-tested and approved drug brought such a wide range of health benefits with no downside”
#BBC: (tumbleweed)
During the late 1950s and early 1960s, doctors across the world routinely prescribed thalidomide to pregnant women in attempts to ease nausea.
However, thalidomide caused fetal anomalies when consumed during pregnancy and resulted in the death of 40% of babies.

Good, #AnimalTesting is senseless anyway, I only remind of the #Thalidomide scandal in Germany in the late 1950s/early 1960s.

Famous one being #Thalidomide in a specific tragic error of judgement. Still in use in #NHS it now treats #multiplemyeloma by strengthening immune system to fight #cancer cells.
For my generation; it's a haunting spectre; the likes of #VictoriaAtkins exploited it with her unnecessary emergency ban.
Welcome news - Justice is long overdue for #Thalidomide survivors.
They have had to fight for far too long.

Why Animal Testing Is Failing Humans and Animals.
The German #Thalidomide #Contergan scandal in the early 1960s should´ve shown that #AnimalTesting is absolutely pointless...

"Dr Frances Oldham Kelsey made history [..] she served as the proverbial red tape of the federal bureaucracy. She challenged a drug’s safety claims and repeatedly refused to approve its sale in the United States — a decision that saved lives and prevented widespread harm."

The thalidomide case demonstrated the need for rigorous regulation of new medicines - the kind of regulation that Farage opposes. His idol Trump, meanwhile, is gutting the FDA, which prevented the marketing of #thalidomide in the US.

Big science fan here but don’t pretend there weren’t serious science failures… #thalidomide comes to mind.
Especially when science is bought by politics
One thing to be happy about is that we don't live in the medical times of the past! Personally, I @taylorpineiro.bsky.social am grateful for epidurals.
