Part 2 of my last tweet: so wonderful to hear and meet Jennifer Vanderbes! It was truly special to be in the audience and hear her speak. If you do not know about the history of USA Thalidomide survivors - you absolutely should read her book! Also doubly special to finally meet Carolyn

When I met Lori in Cincinnati in 2018, she was stunned to learn there were dozens of other American #thalidomide survivors. The story had been buried for SIXTY years. Here she is today, holding #Wonderdrug: The Secret History of Thalidomide in America and Its Hidden Victims

What a thrill to speak with Ralph Nader about #WONDERDRUG: The Secret History of #Thalidomide in America & Its Hidden Victims. "The best investigative reporters in America didn’t uncover this story, until Jennifer Vanderbes put it together in a book." tinyurl.com/37ew8vpb

In the tale of #thalidomide in America, “the FDA and other watchdogs are remembered as heroic protectors of the public,” says @DickTofel. Unfortunately, “the truth is more complicated.” Read his review of @JVanderbes’ “Wonder Drug”: harvardpublichealth.org/reviews/thalid
