Millions of Animals May Finally Be Spared—Thanks to This Major NIH Breakthrough | PETA This powerful announcement could revolutionize medical discovery, and PETA’s been leading the charge for animal-free, human-relevant research every step of the way.

PETA Applauds #NIH for Investing $150 Million in Non-Animal Science.
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.

Un scandale qui a renforcé la pharmacovigilance En France, la thalidomide était délivrée depuis 1997 dans le cadre d'une autorisation temporaire d'utilisation pour des patients atteints de pathologies graves ou rares et en impasse thérapeutique.

En bossant sur un célèbre #phocomèle, j'ai découvert le scandale du #Thalidomide, anti-nauséeux prescrit à des femmes enceintes qui provoqua des milliers de malformations congénitales allant jusqu'à la phocomélie (=absence de bras et jambes) www.lemonde.fr/planete/arti...
