Former @washingtonpost reporter Morton Mintz - 101 YEARS OLD - turned out at @PoliticsProse yesterday for my launch event for #WONDERDRUG: The Secret History of Thalidomide in America and Its Hidden Victims. Mintz broke the thalidomide story in 1962! @WMEBooks @USThalidomide

@jvanderbes is absolutely required reading for legislators and their staffers.

Craig Spencer MD MPH@Craig_A_Spencer

The next big crisis that would confront the FDA was thalidomide. The story of thalidomide is amazing, scary, incredible, and very complicated. I HIGHLY recommend the book 'Wonder Drug' by @jvanderbes if you want to do a deep dive

How much do you know about food and drug safety? Where did our current regulations come from? And what were some of the greatest scandals that forced change? We covered everything from swill milk, patent medicines, and thalidomide in our class today. Here's what we covered 🧵

I’ve never been so moved by a book as by this one. I now have suspicions that my younger sibling, born & died within 40 minutes in 1960, may have been another uncounted thalidomide victim. Great work by author @jvanderbes. amazon.com/Wonder-Drug-Hi…
