Our free markets are at work watching out for us. The manufacturer of Thalidomide issued a we couldn’t have known apology yesterday. Interesting side note, the stuff was approved for use by pregnant women as a sleep aid and for nausea in Europe, Australia, Japan and Canada. See what country is missing? That’s because a newly hired MD in that Commie Eisenhower administration’s FDA actually read global toxicology literature and banned it over vociferous industry objection. Just think of the free market benefits that were lost out on. The prosthetics industry could have made a killing.
