The real crime ,which was highlighted in a “Call the Midwife” episode , is that the British Medical Society connected the dots epidemiologically. They first realized that Thalidomide caused horrendous birth defects. They banned the use of the drug. The FDA lagged behind pitifully by 6 months. I wonder how many US infants were harmed needlessly within that 6 month period? The drug company responsible for Thalidomide acted shamelessly toward the parents and children who were victimized by their teratogenic drug. They fought tooth and nail within the legal system to become financially responsible for the life long repercussions in the Thalidomide survivors. We continue to see that until this day. I truly appreciate your spunk, faith and advocacy on behalf of the approximate 100 US Thalidomide survivors. It is sad to see history repeating itself today. The Puberty Blockers being prescribed willy nilly to adolescents today are being used OFF LABEL. Side effects and consequences of their use are already coming to light but there seem to be ideologues with an agenda who are blind and tone deaf to the rising chorus of cautionary medical dissenters and young de transitioners. Saddest are the beautiful youth who were given too much responsibility for their permanent life changing choices while still children. Most often they were not given enough information, nor were they intellectually capable of making an informed decision. May the Lord continue to bless your wonderful , cohesive family! You guys are a positive force for change! I will pray that you are able get the ear of empathetic leaders in Congress.❤
The drug companies should give megga millions to support these people !!!!!! They should be able to afford whatever they need medically and emotionally and physically.

Grizzly adams looking reject. Looks like you dont ever go outside but not because you dont want to, its because the people in your neighborhood hate you
I was born in 1962 as well. Thank God my mother didn’t use it, but I have FAS bc my mother drank so much. I’m also physically disabled from a rare genetic disease. But I wasn’t diagnosed with either until almost age 60. I live in Oswego, NY, very close to Rochester. I was just there yesterday. Your mom is a rockstar!
I’m also a Survivor of Thalidomide and thought I’m much younger I have had a horrible time managing to get to go to regular school and not being able to work due to my disability and the discrimination of just my physical appearance. I have fought through life to accomplish as much as I could and if nothing else to prove others wrong. I just wanted to thank you for highlighting your mom and telling everyone just what a disabled person can do.
What an inspiring woman. Wish her a mother's day from a whole bunch of us here whose mom's aren't physically present anymore. And happy mother's day for all of you mothers and motherly figures. Moms rock!
Dude you are a piece of chit talking about Jon as if he knew he hit a pregnant woman. He was wrong for fleeing the scene and what man doesn't or hasn't had a dispute with his girl/wife when she cant control her anger and she physically attacks you? You have to use physical restraint to either get her away from you or stop her from hitting you. It's common and usually it's the man that goes to jail. You didn't say chit about Conor McGregor punching old men, fondling/raping women and assaulting UFC fighters on a bus using a dolly. Nobody says anything about Conor being wasted on drugs and whiskey. You're your typical white supremacist that loves pointing the finger of blame towards successful African American men that you envy and whose shoes you wish that your 8 inch feet could fill.
I met DC at a club in Los Angeles about 10 years ago. I’m 6’0” he was standing 3 feet in front of me on a level dance floor, UFC lists Daniel Cormier as 5’11”. I can tell you for a fact he is not that tall. He was about 4” shorter than me when I met him in person. He’s about 5’8”. I also met Conor McGregor that same night in the club, McGregor is listed as 5’9” and again, that’s a lie. He’s about 5’7”. This was a meet and great UFC media day event that I met them at in Los Angeles at club Nokia. I’m not making fun of them, I’m just saying that UFC has their heights exaggerated for their athletes.
first fight with jones was close and the 2nd fight with jones was overturned because jones was caught on steroids. I think DC would of beat jones first fight but jones was likely on roids then too
I know it as "Softenon" I read a lot about Thalidomide which a know as Softenon, but why do I read nothing about the DES-hormoon. Given from 1947 till 1976. I am a DES daughter I was born in 1950 and ..... as a lot af DES-daughters and sons can not have children because of this medicine given to my mother. I look like a woman, I feel as a woman but ... as I always say ... my factory is empty and can have no children. I am 73 years old now, never ever had my "period" then only a little bit of oestrogene I have Osteoporose and artrose. But .... I am a happy woman and married with a lovely man for 48 year and he said: I am married with you because I love you and not to have children. Sometimes when I look how it is going in de world now, ... I am happy we have no children.
