Thalidomide (Softenon) was marketed in 1958 as an anti-nausea medication for pregnant women. By 1961, it became evident that thalidomide had caused severe malformations in at least ten thousand fetuses, primarily resulting in underdeveloped limbs or the absence of limbs altogether. The most shocking aspect of the scandal is that pharmaceutical companies continued to produce the drug for years, and in some countries (including Belgium), it was sold over the counter until 1963. This drug deformed thousands of babies and destroyed thousands of lives, yet it was not withdrawn from the market until 1969.

am still confused with this contradicting statement, actually. John Glen in his statement to the house says and I quote. " No immediate changes will be made to the existing support schemes, payments will continue to be made at the same level, (until 31st March 2025). And they will not be deducted from any of these Compensation awards. From 1st April 2025, any support scheme payments received, will be counted towards the beneficiaries Final Compensation award. This will ensure parity between support scheme beneficiaries regardless of whether they were the first or the last to have their Compensation assessed by the Infected Blood Compensation Authority and we will ensure that no-one will receive less in Compensation, than they would have, in Support payments.?? What is this guy saying? In essence according to this statement ,after they receive a full lump sum Compensation payment, do they continue to receive the monthly (index-linked) support payment they get now. Both schemes (by Sir Brian and Sir Robert Francis stated the monthly support scheme payments were to continue for life even after Full compensation has been made. According to Glen's statement, will monthly support scheme payments still be made, once Full Compensation is paid beyond April 25 or not?

In theory I like the idea of people who can be held to account by the general public being in charge of the institutions we depend on for everyday life; parole, health care, utilities, mass transit etc. But, is there anyone in this country less accountable than a politician? I don't want to get ideological about this stuff, I just want it to work properly.
