Besides standard talking points, always bring up the "thalidomide children"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide

In short - a few decades ago there was a quite tragic period of many birth defects caused by mothers taking the drug. It was anti-nausea drug.

Not properly tested medicine which led to unforeseen tragedy. Unforeseeable tragedy - it couldn't be predicted due to lack of proper testing. Just like the current vaccines.

Maybe it will help.

Thalidomide scandal is one of the heavier ordinances in this case out there and I don't see people mentioning it... like at all. It's always something. Family is most of the time (unfortunately not always) worth trying

But in many cases you're sadly right.

Btw, kek'd at the username
