Thalidomide remembered.

See previous post. Dr Kelsey saved tens of thousands of children in the U.S. and Canada from the greatest ever anti-anxiety medication (until it wasn’t) synthesized in Germany. 

PS I remember the time when the surviving amelic/phocomelic children, then in their teenager years were a common sight in Germany. The wikipedia page is informative:
