Recognizing harm is step one; justice for DES victims is step two. Let's fund the follow-up study and fix this mess.

A formal apology and restored funding sound like the least we owe those affected. Shame it took this long.

DES victims deserve more than silence—this resolution is a small but mighty slap on the wrist to corporate negligence.

Another government apology tour? Maybe focus on innovation, not hand-wringing over yesterday’s drug blunders.

Throwing taxpayer dollars at studies and apologies won’t turn back the clock. Let’s prioritize future cures, not past regrets.

We defeated DES decades ago—why keep dragging dead horses? Time to move forward, not rehash past mistakes.

Calling out DES damage is overdue, but let’s keep eyes on real solutions, not just symbolic weeks.

Finally, accountability isn't just a buzzword—it's overdue. FDA, it's time to own up and make amends.
