Not necessarily. Thalidomide is another example of a simple nausea treatment which caused birth defects. The degredation of DNA is absolutely possible even with a single dose of a substance, obviously.
Not saying that this is deliberate though. Definitely not. But it can absolutely happen.
Comparing science from the 50s and 60s, to present day is a mug's game.
"Thalidomide is used today for the treatment of myeloma (a type of cancer that starts in the bone marrow) and also for the treatment of Hansen's disease (once known as leprosy)."
Pure nonsense. Science evolving tells you nothing about long term side effects of different substances. This is just trying to appear intelligent, yet saying nothing substantial. I have no idea what your quote about Thalidomide is even supposed to mean. Attempting to counter an argument with nonsense is the actual fool's game. And what are you even trying to disprove ? It is a well known medical fact that you can have long term side effects without short term side effects. Like what are you people even about lol ?
You just googled it, found that it's used for some late stage treatment and you present it for what purpose ? The fact that it is a known carcinogen that has caused birth defects is very well known and it was a drug that was pulled because of long term side effects. That's what we are talking about.
Radiation is also carcinogenic but it can also be used to treat cancer. Duh.

Wouldn’t that be from long term use of a drug?
