The next big crisis that would confront the FDA was thalidomide.
The story of thalidomide is amazing, scary, incredible, and very complicated. I HIGHLY recommend the book 'Wonder Drug' by @jvanderbes if you want to do a deep dive

I’ve never been so moved by a book as by this one. I now have suspicions that my younger sibling, born & died within 40 minutes in 1960, may have been another uncounted thalidomide victim. Great work by author @jvanderbes. https://t.co/iux3GeHXGA
