In your state of rebellion back then if the doc told you that your chances of benign brain tumor were 5 in 100k and in this drug raised that to 10-15 in 100k would it have made a difference? Especially when the DEATH rate due to pregnancy complications in the 90s was 8 - 12 in 100k (18 per 100k today)? And severe maternal morbidities are 1,000 per 100k (yay, US healthcare) nowadays?

You're playing odds.

i didn't make the argument that everyone dies from avoidable side effects from medication. Strawmen belong in gardens, not conversations 🤙
