    Thalidomide was a big winner, too.

            @cammerman the thing is, radiations wasn't that poorly understood. factory bosses worked out that it was harmful when lots of their workers who were exposed to it a lot kept coming down sick with the same symptoms. they just surpressed the information for as long as they could, because people finding out would be bad for business

            just like how fossil fuel companies were the first to discover global warming and made sure to proactively spread misinformation about it

                  @artnacrea @cammerman Yes! I'm an 80's kid and I remember one of these, think I even used it. It must have been one of the very last in service in the UK.

                      @cammerman Did we learn our lesson? I did research on dental radiography (a.o. panoramic images) There is still an enormous misuse of radiation in medical and dental practice. It’s an easy way of making money and therefore a triggering factor. The radiology rate should be $ZERO and included in diagnostics.

                            Radium is just but one element on the periodic table, all isotopes of which being highly unstable. There's noting evil nor good about it.

                            The things the tech bros name their "creations" after are deliberately constructed as such evils.

                              Panoramic dental x-rays are equal to about 4-hours in an aircraft at 30,000’. Radiation treatment after a mastectomy is a rust colored burn that goes through the ribs to the edge of the lungs.

                                @cammerman I once had a wrist watch with dials and numbers that glowed in the dark. And that was only 50 years ago.
