The FDA Never Approved Thalidomide For Pregnant Women
Emerging story
In a now-deleted tweet that has been reposted as a screenshot, politician Billy Prempeh shared an image of children who had been affected by the drug thalidomide which was accompanied by the text, “Thalidomide was also FDA approved.”
The screenshot and/or claim have since been shared across social media, with posts gaining dozens or even hundreds of interactions. The implication is that because the FDA has approved dangerous drugs before, its approval of a COVID vaccine holds less import.
