The Wikipedia article you linked states that Midgley actually knew the dangers: > tetraethyl lead was known to be acutely toxic by those involved in the development of leaded gasoline. This included Midgley, who publicly insisted that there was nonetheless no health hazard posed W.r.t. making people dependent on big pharma: I have multiple allergies and although the drugs I take have side effects, I would not function without them ~8-10 months of the year (where I live, the pollen season is expanding with global warming). I am somewhat dependent on big pharma for quality of life, but the alternative is strictly much worse for me. I know it is a more mature type of drug, but the automatic kneejerk reactions against “Big Pharma” is unwarranted IMO. There are rotten apples everywhere.. |
