Thinking about all this stuff where people are trying to link #vaccines and other #medicines (like the mellinia old #tylenol) to the supposedly large increase in the rate of #autism, and it's reminding me of something...
When my mother was #pregnant with my older brother, there was some sort of gas leak, and she was exposed to fumes which gave her headaches over several months. My mother was otherwise not really exposed to many drugs: she remembered the #thalidomide scandal. When my brother was a baby, he began displaying #autistic behaviors before he had his first #vaccine.
What occurs to me as I think about it now is, there is a lot of talk about commonplace and relatively safe #medications and vaccines supposedly causing autism to climb significantly (of which I have doubts), but none of these people seem to be talking about the various and increasingly exotic #pollution that pregnant women are exposed to on a regular basis...

They're having a memento from their mother fixed up, and their mother fought for years to get them officially diagnosed, which I think means money and support in England - whereas my mother did a goddam coverup 😈 💔

not that there's money or support in Canada, but that's not all there is about it

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 ; les mains et pieds sont rattachés au tronc) https://www.lemonde.fr/planete/article/2010/04/09/un-scandale-qui-a-renforce-la-pharmacovigilance_1331285_3244.html

Are #DavidDanks, prof of data science, philosophy and policy at UCal, & #MikeKirby, prof of computing at UUtah using these restricted business /#CorporateEthics when they avoid considering the responsibilities of those who create and release innovations into the public sphere?
There seems a sad parallel between their approach and considering whether the delivery truck driver or the tableting machine manufacturer have responsibility for the #Thalidomide disaster.

Trust #science. It gave us #Thalidomide
The recent apologies for victims of #thalidomide suggest that their suffering wasn't compensated or acknowledged.
My mother tells the opposite story from her social services work in the #UK. She suggested that the thalidomide clients were all well compensated whereas those unfortunate enough to have similar disabilities without having mothers' who'd taken the drugs were the worst off.

And when the nazi-adaptable folk churn out another #Thalidomide, another #Trump, another #Genocide, another #Cleansing, your brain will be so #SpongiformEncephalopathic that you'll be clapping along, cheering wildly, marching with the band.

I will let you know if it changes.
I'm watching Call the Midwife, a period drama about midwifery in 1950s England, and theres an episode where a pregnant woman has super bad nausea. Toward the end, shes given this miracle antiemetic and all the storylines have somewhat happy endings AND THEN
woman: all the women will be beating down your door for this stuff. whats it called again?
dr: well, this drug is called Distival, but the active drug is thalidiomide

With the tomfoolery regarding the rogue judge in Amarillo vis-a-vis mifepristone, it might be a good time to revisit the FDA review of a drug which really was harmful, thalidomide.
