In fairness, it is tested. It has gone through all the animal tests, the very carefully controlled small group safety testing and a larger scale test of (and I can't be arsed to look it up), I think 50,000 people - but, of necessity (and thanks to "Warp Speed", the testing processes have been rather foreshortened by normal standards.

Polycephaly is probably an overrated risk.

My mother was prescribed Thalidomide when she was pregnant with me - she elected not to take it.

I looked into the official dates of the tragedy a few years ago and by rights, her pregnancy should have been too late for it to have been offered, but there must have been some regional variation in availability because I knew two kids of my age growing up who were affected.

As for the new vaccine, I'll pass - but I wouldn't try to steer anyone else's decision.

I was born 1956 & my Brother 1950 (we were both lucky with Mams choice not to take it) - Thalidomide has since been proven?? to have some efficacy in some skin cancers.

Only if the second one is uglier than the first one .

When you decide to take a drug ,theres a long list of potential side effects in groups of possibility ,will we get one as we queue up to get the corona one .You can make a decision based on this though usually we read the paper after the fact

That list in each packet was found over time the list will be extremely short in this case ,probably rounded up to sligh rash to death! The rest not discovered in the non existant years of trials and usage.

I may wait a year to decide and then if no -one sprouts a second head know i may not sprout a second head in the first year but could in the second !

Who can you trust big pharma who cover up drug scandels or government who cover up anything it can and use their own kids to pull the wool over the masses heads to cover up things

It's still prescribed fairly widely as an antiemetic - but obviously not for females of child bearing age.

I know that it was being tentatively haled as a re-invented wonder drug a few years ago, but I've not been following it.

Maybe getting some muck under our nails & eating bogeys when we were kids has built up some resistance??

It's what we kids did then, & for a reason although not known at the time.
