thalidomide Re: Dr. Haley on the genetic mutation that causes autism ....

Becky responds on Thalidomide:

The medication never received approval for sale in the United States, but 2.5 million tablets had been given to more than 1,200 American doctors during -Merrell's "investigation" and nearly 20,000 patients received thalidomide, including several hundred pregnant women. In the end, 17 American children were born with thalidomide-related deformities.[1]â€

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, 17 out of ‘several’ hundred. One is distant cousin. I didn’t realize there were so few in the US. Worldwide it was 10’s of thousands.

I suspect the disparity between reporting "adverse reactions" to Thalidomide in foreign countries, mirrors what is occurring with Thimerosal.

Clear evidence the United States "adverse reporting" system is seriously flawed.

Most European countries BANNED thimerosal......because.....European public health officials prefer to err on the side of caution....thereby protecting their children rather than foreign (US) pharmarcuetical companies. Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.

From wikipedia:

“The medication never received approval for sale

in the United States, but 2.5 million tablets had been given to more than 1,200

American doctors during

-Merrell's " investigation " and nearly 20,000 patients

received thalidomide, including several hundred pregnant women. In the end, 17

American children were born with

thalidomide-related deformities.[1]”

So, 17 out of ‘several’

hundred. One is distant cousin. I didn’t realize there were so few in the

US. Worldwide it was 10’s of thousands.

I would respectfully ask what the

" purpose " was to expose pregnant mom's to Thalidomide? Good

intentions gone horrifically awry?

I am just " Joe-sixpack Grandpa "

asking if " science " believes the well-documented, dangerous

consequences of Thalidomide, had anything to do with the " genetics "

of the unsuspecting pregnant women who were exposed to it?

After Thalidomide, why would anyone

believe researching the " genetics " of children exposed to

Thimerosal would be any more useful than it would have been to

pregnant mom's exposed to Thalidomide?

Unless the true intentions of

" genetic research " is to protect the profits of the drug....by

identifying the " gene " the drug is known to mutate.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way, did EVERY WOMAN exposed

to Thalidomide give birth to a deformed baby?

How many deformed babies did it require

before the substance was eventually taken off the market? Surely it

wasn't 1 in 150 children?

Actually,

the case with thalidomide seems opposite. The European countries, Canada and several others used

thalidomide while the US refused to approve it as a drug. Very few pregnant US women had access to the

drug.

But, there is of course less to muddy the

waters with an anti nausea drug that was not mandated like vaccines. Much

easier for the FDA to take a strong stand and keep it from being used.

The FDA was a different entity back then.
