Original Note:
This tweet misleadingly equates thalidomide and COVID vaccines, which both underwent different approval processes (COVID vaccines were more stringent). Thalidomide was approved in a limited capacity by FDA in 1997, though not for pregnant women. COVID vaccines are proven safe. https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-afs:Content:9802969269
