I think Thalidomide is exactly the wrong reason to not approve drugs like Silibinin and what is wrong with the drug system. Yes, it was a huge scandal. But we are not talking about a drung for general usage, especially not for taking as a healthy person. There should be entirely different approval paths for drugs which are to be taken in a live-and-death situation. Which can be clearly diagnosed. Especially, if it also has been approved and used for a long time in the EU.
