of 'exhaustive' testing,
just like they tell you about vaccines
and then withdrawn from sale after it was found to cause severe

is a drug which used to be given to pregnant women, before it was discovered
that it resulted in babies being born with wrongly shaped arms and legs
and sometimes lack of limbs; thalidomide is used to describe someone whose
arms and legs are wrongly shaped because their mother took the drug thalidomide
when she was pregnant after being assured
by the corrupt pharmaceutica/medical system that it had been proven safe,

problem being, it was taken as correct that the pharmaceutical company
making the drug and who did the safety tests could be trusted, but like
ALL cabal controlled 'authority',
you just cannot at all trust them and why, because of who
is far behind them; the later drug Vioxx
and also vaccines show even more so,
you cannot trust them as they've been lying to you since this Rockefeller
medical system throughout the world was allowed to be established early
