Sandwiches nailed it in Post 3.
Sometimes it pays to stand up to science and say, "We're not going there; regardless of what you think!"
Why is it on the occasion that I start a thread in this forum, usually about an interesting piece of research, it is ignored, but when AV starts a thread that makes no sense, it gets all of these responses?

AV is easy, and rebuking his nonsense is fun.
Looking through the 36 threads you've started, I don't see any interesting pieces of research.
Ouch.
Question: Could myopic science produce more information, or had they exhausted their testing?The director asked for more information to prove thalidomide safe because she thought the company in question was holding it back.

What more could they have done -- (specifically)?
What? I don't see a single thread you've started on any research.

Could be the search function.
Because when you're behind closed doors, that's the time to be picky.Why is it on the occasion that I start a thread in this forum, usually about an interesting piece of research, it is ignored, but when AV starts a thread that makes no sense, it gets all of these responses?
It has to be, I can think of at least two that I started. One was on some new, interesting toxicology paper, and another was on infant's intermodal perception of dog's expressions and vocalizations. Wrote a paper on that one.
Why?As I just said, avian model testing would have shown the problems. After thalidomide it is required testing now through the FDA. It was available at the time, it just hadn't been conducted.
My apologies then.
Why?
Okay -- let's tie this in with the OP now.So, your question has two answers. The scientific reasoning why the FDA didn't approve was based on the research experience of the director of the FDA.
The discovery of problems with thalidomide would have been uncovered everywhere had there been more rigorous tests in place for drug approval.
Doctors are most definitely not always right. In fact I don't know why doctors prescribe medicines at all. Doctors should be making a diagnosis and those that studied 4 years or more of pharmacology and biochemistry should be prescribing drugs based upon that diagnosis.Okay -- let's tie this in with the OP now.
It is 1960, and you, an expectant mother, go to the doctor, and he prescribes/recommends Thalidomide.
You tell him what you just told me:
"Do you realize, doctor, that Thalidomide, if tested on birds, will cause their hatchlings to be born w/o wings? I'm not taking Thalidomide."
If your doctor told you you were wrong -- wouldn't he be the one in the wrong?
If your doctor told you you were wrong -- wouldn't he be the one in the wrong?
What?Also, hazza you may have proven that doctors are not always right!
