RFK JR: "Frances Kelsey was a young scientist at NIH who came in and objected to the panel having approved thalidomide for American children ... All the scientists of that day and the scientific panels that worked for the agency approved green lighted thalidomide. She stood up and screamed and fought and risked her job and risked her reputation and she blocked it in our country three years later ... My uncle gave her the highest civilian honor because she questioned science and was courageous enough to stand up and say, I don't care what happens to me."
