 The Doctors in the 1950s that Prevented the Prescription of Thalidomide

There were doctors in the 1950s that prevented the prescription of Thalidomide because they did not know how the medication worked nor if it caused side effects. Because there was healthy skepticism in the medical community in the 1950s concerning new medication, the medication was not prescribed by physicians in the US.

The FDA in the 1950s prevented the use of the medication while other countries did use the medication. There were countries in Europe that did use the medication and it caused health problems to women and the pregnancy.

The medication was supposedly created to prevent symptoms of morning sickness that some women experience during pregnancy. Scientists did not know if it was a good medication until it was prescribed and caused abnormalities in the gestation of the pregnancy. The pregnancies were not viable and caused spontaneous abortions.

The medication caused spontaneous abortions when the medication was used. The medication was only prescribed in European nations and not the US. The medication was eventually banned and recalled in Europe. Ethical doctors did not prescribe the medication and prevented labor complications and spontaneous abortions. The medication probably had toxic compounds that prevented normal cellular and tissue development in the fetus causing malformations. This caused the pregnancy to not be completed. The faulty medication was probably created by socialist scientists who hated human life, newborns, women, and families. We can learn science and medicine to defend ourselves from pseudo-science and lies of socialism. Thalidomide was a harmful medication created by socialists for nausea and morning sickness. There have been bad medications created by socialists.
