This distinguished physician and mentor became one of the most inspiring people in my life. M.D. To withdraw a drug once on the market is considerably more difficult than to get a drug on the market. Since The Pill has been on the market, the number of deaths reported in association with The Pill has far exceeded this number. In fact, it is safe to say that The Pill is the most dangerous drug ever introduced for use by the healthy in respect to lethality and major complications. To admit mistakes is not characteristic of the American scene.
Governmental agencies are no exceptions.
This is especially true of The Pill. Everyone prefers to believe that The Pill is safe. The net result of propaganda which led to pronouncements of Pill safety out of so-called humanitarian considerations was that the real users of The Pill, the middle and upper classes of the U.S., were seduced away from well established and safe means of birth control. Perhaps the most fallacious argument in defense of The Pill is that it prevents the hazards of pregnancy. How a Pill which places the woman in a continuous state of false pregnancy, which in turn reproduces the illnesses of occasional pregnancies, can be considered an advantage is beyond scientific comprehension.
