The Sunday Times in London thinks to be funny this morning by reporting that snubbed thalidomide victims win a new compensation offer.

Snubbed thalidomide victims win new compensation offer

The article does not deal with compensating the victims for the damage suffered.
It only deals with enabling the victims to survive.

Right, primum vivere, deinde philosophari (first you try to survive, then you can finally start thinking about being compensated.)
The morality of surviving on guv’mint money can, however, seriously be questioned.

This is like Nicolas Sarkozy, president of the French republic, enabling the victims of nuclear tests to survive.

This forms part of an economic stimulus in “our” debt-driven political economy enabling our Masters to get prestige in the very short term only. In the long term, we’re all dead, said their guru, John Maynard Keynes.

Santa Claus is a socialist re-distributor,  Keynesian squanderer and common-law murderer.

To repeat:

ABSTRACT
Thalidomide had been tested before use.
Thalidomide was created by the Nazis.
Its origins go back to 1938 and one Frances Oldham Kelsey.
Thalidomide was marketed since 1957. Kelsey was only appointed to the US of A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after the 30 April- 1 May 1960 Duesseldorf Congress of neurologists warning of the dangers of thalidomide.
In 1938 the name of Frances Oldham Kelsey, at the ripe old age of 24, appeared at the FDA in connection with the Elixir Sulfanilamide disaster.
Upon Kelsey feigning to ignore the April-May 1960 Duesseldorf Congress, US of A President John F. Kennedy honoured Kelsey in 1962 with a Presidential award for having saved his country from her product.
Now they are saying that thalidomide is useful in ophthalmology. Thanks to thalidomide, this thalidomide monster has serious ophthalmological problems. Hence, some ophthalmologists will do everything they can to prevent losing him as a paying guinea pig.
Every mother knows that her child should not play with a toy the child does not understand. The mechanism of the biological action of thalidomide is still being debated.
Human nature is constituted as such that some individuals who have inside knowledge about the effects of thalidomide will ‘always’ deliberately and unnoticeably cause the serious harm thalidomide can ‘so easily’ cause. They do that precisely because the damage is so serious to the mother and to the child and because they can do that so easily and without being noticed. It may be that ‘in clinical trials’, thalidomide is shown to be effective against many things. But ‘in real life’, it is given to unsuspecting girls. This can be reconciled with John Lennon if one remembers that thalidomide was created by the Nazis.
