Like DES exposure from late 1930s to early 1970s - Silent Thalidomide - since most damage was to internal reproductive organs - usually undiscovered until the exposed started getting married 20+ years later. So many other long term side effects - immune system, cancers, ASD increase, etc.

Yes the same thing comes to my mind as well. The silent damage done by DES was devastating to say the least. I remember only ever seeing it used at the VA which back then was primarily men. But this was in the 80’s and early ‘90’s well after it was known. We very rarely used it in retail pharmacy and never now as there are safer alternatives. But it was still used for prostate cancer well into the 2000’s.
