It took them five years to stop giving thalidomide to pregnant mothers.

I expect millions to die from this.

Maybe a couple of hundred million or so.

At least 1/2 billion disabled.

This is still the first year.

So many corpses. What may be more tragic, so many cripples and brain-damanged, so many limbs lost, so many heart attacks and strokes.

If they are stupid enough to attempt to make this a thing for my kids they will be a smear on the wall and the body will never be found ever again.
