Loading ...Guess she thinks of baby boomers as really old. Actually she got the message wrong on time but not occurance.
Back in the I think as far back as the 30s but definitely 40-50s they were radiating children’s thymus to shrink them believing a large thymus was the cause of SIDS. They later discovered a large thymus was a sign of a healthy baby and small thymus was the sign of a stressed baby. They got it wrong and the result was hundreds of children died of thyroid cancer that absorbed the radiation.
The dangers of getimg “assumptions” wrong just like politics or even stocks.
Even today many of these children are finding cancer on their thyroid.
If any of you ever got this treatment beware.
My daughter brought up something that she thought happened over a hundred years ago.
