despite huge victims throughout europe and all over the world, although here were only 17 reported victim cases of this drug in usa though since fda refused to give its approval on this drug (good job fda..)

anyways.. so the side effect didn't show on animal tests..but it did on people..
still the issue of animal tests is like a hot potato..are animal tests really useful and effective..?

other similar cases or stories are welcome
please share your thoughts and resources here..

thank you in advance 🙂
