Headline. In popular culture, Walter White in breaking bad explains that it was a mirrored molecule that caused the side effects. I'm not schooled in chemistry or pharmaceuticals, but I do remember my highschool chem class making mention of a similar topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A601:A92E:C701:66A2:F9FF:FEDC:AC8E ( talk) 20:39, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
Conflicting accounts of the origin of the molecule: Synthesized by CIBA AG vs. developed by Ambros at Auschwitz? No primary source found for both assertions.
Potential source for primary record:
In '70s was thalidomide used in South America. In Brasilia, there were hundreds of children born with defects. -- 77.87.242.9 ( talk) 10:56, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
The noted paragraph lists Grünenthal as a "soap" manufacturer, in relation to manufacturing penicillin. This seems like a machine-translation sort of error, confusing antibiotics for disinfectant and disinfectant for soap, or something of the like. But I am unsure, and am pointing it out so people who could know better can check.
