To survive, red states must now NULLIFY the federal government and declare themselves “health freedom zones” that DENOUNCE the FDA, CDC and OSHA

That is true.
Someone told me it was never approved in the US.
Is that true?

FWIW, thalidomide.  A few of the facts:

[size=31]In spite of an FDA rule prohibiting drug companies from distributing marketing materials before the NDA was approved, Richardson Merrell promoted the samples as a safer alternative to other sedatives. Company executives believed the drug would be approved by November 1960. They hoped to advance awareness of the new tranquilizer and maximize the number of prescriptions written during the most anxious time of the year: the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.[/size]
[size=31]According to an internal FDA memo dated October 2, 1962, the “Manual” used by salesmen “shows that the doctor was provided with information assuring him of the safety of the drug and reveals the presence of a physician’s sample promotion scheme rather than a bonafide investigational program.”[/size]
[size=31]FDA records obtained by a survivor through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in 2011 also document that German pharmaceutical company Chemie Grünenthal (now known as Grünenthal) licensed American companies Smith Kline and French (now GlaxoSmithKline) to manufacture thalidomide from 1956-1958 and Richardson-Merrell (now Sanofi), to produce it from 1958-1962.[/size]
[size=31]Contrary to popular belief, thalidomide was not primarily a morning sickness remedy. The medication was referred to in FDA documents and the media as a sedative, tranquilizer or sleeping pill. Both companies distributed samples to doctors for testing on men, women and children for various symptoms including nausea.[/size]

The FDA did not approve the drug, Thalidomide; they did, however, cover up its widespread use in the U.S.  Isn't it great that we have an agency we can put our complete trust in?  Oh, and if you read the whole article, it'll show just how keen the news agencies were to tell the truth, too!

Now that you mentioned it I believe that's correct . I'm thinking Germany but I may be mistaken.
