@PhuckHue2: Sorry, no. The Tuskegee Experiments involved a "control group" given placebos in order to test then new anti syphillis treatments. Which was perfectly valid. The shame in the Tuskegee expiriments came when the control group was forgotten and neglected after the effectiveness of syphillis treatments had been proven. This is somewhat different from recklessly pushing a dangerous drug on citizens because the National Health Service can't admit it was mistaken.
@NickB1967 you can't candy coat reality. They were tortured to death with syphilis because they were Black. paid for and ran by the American government
@PhuckHue2: You can't exaggerate and distort reality. There was no "torture", as a control "placebo" group, where nothing is done, is not a torture. It does the patient no harm. To equate USA Tuskegee negligence with the UK deliberately pushing Thalidomide is just plain wrong.
Easy to say for you, but not everyone believes in killing unborn babies & secondly, in 1950's when Dominic was conceived, technology didn't exist. Thirdly, just because an untested drug was recommended to unsuspecting mothers & their children were born physically, or in my brothers case (shown here at 47 secs), severely mentally handicapped, doesn't mean they don't have a right to live any more than you have.
@whitemountain2009 That's peculiar. I didn't know thalidomide caused mental handicaps. I heard all research suggested it only effected physical development.
@Fyrato In Britain anyway, many mentally handicapped thalidomide victims were locked away in institutions at birth & died young due to ill treatment & abuse. Not an easy place to servive were 1960's mental hospitals, for anyone. Dominic was kept at home & for the past 51yrs, has had intensive care. He is the oldest surviving of his extreme severity. Many died by 30. God bless them, would not want to have been born into that for any amount of billions. PS, there was no research. it was covered
@Fyrato Respond to this video...Also, the cover up was so big that the government issued an injunction in the early 1960's banning The Times newspaper from reporting the true facts & only in 2009 did The Times get that reversed & the facts come out, which lead to a world-wide review of victims & their cases, of which most are long dead.
dont think this is the only attack on innocent citizens. remember the Tuskegee Experiments?
