The vast, vast majority of terrorism cases committed in the United States are committed by American citizens. Like Dylann Roof killing black church goers in South Carolina to start a race war back in And in October, Robert Bowers opening fire and murdering eleven people in a Pittsburgh synagogue. From to , David and his team at the Investigative Fund kept track of these domestic terror incidents. There were 63 cases where the terrorist claimed they acted in the name of Islam.

In the same period, we have nearly a cases of right-wing extremist terrorism. The Trump Administration pointed to one of those three to make its case for the travel ban. It involved a Somali refugee who came here when he was three years old. He joins me now. So, lay it out for me Stan. What happened? And then the tree lights up and everybody starts singing White Christmas.

But after that, Sam Adams gets into his car and he gets a text from his police chief. The investigators fear that this had been months, even perhaps years in the making. That team telling police that he choose Portland as [crosstalk]-. Yeah, at first, it really did. Then more of the facts came out. Well, and I guess I wonder as a person who was responsible for the city of Portland, do you think that this case made the people of Portland safer?

Why would he say that? I mean, the FBI stopped a terrorist plot before it happened. I mean, it sounds like the definition of making people safer. But what if the FBI was creating the plot and the terrorist? If you go back to a year before the Christmas tree lighting, the teenager they arrested was a freshman at Oregon State University.

I talked to one of his friends there. My name is [Alyssa Rightinger] and I was roommates with Mohamed in college for about a year and a half. Alyssa says freshman year, that room was supposed to be for three people, but this overlapping group of best friends and boyfriends and girlfriends meant there were often six. We had two Indians, an Asian. I want to say he was Korean, and someone from El Salvador, who was Catholic.

Myself, a white Christian, and then Mohamed. Mohamed was a tall skinny kid who, Alyssa says, was the life of the party. At frat parties, football games. We were that close. Absolutely, yep. Yeah, I think it was mostly English because those were a little bit easier, but yeah. We would. In all of this, the FBI was seen, too. Agents were videotaping him in the cafeteria. They were reading his emails and his text messages. What happened was, when he was 15, Mohamed went through what his dad called an identity crisis.

His parents were splitting up and he started going to a more conservative mosque and got into what you might call the Jihadi internet. I actually have a copy of it. Do you want to read the title of it? Getting in Shape Without Weights.

There certainly are young women who are not pregnant who could be included in clinical trials. Women in general could be included in clinical trials, to really understand some of the effects of drugs on their own health. They were labeled as broadly vulnerable because of the potential to become pregnant. That was part of a very rapid response to a very visible tragedy. We see this all the time. Something terrible happens and we rush to introduce laws or regulations or just mores that respond to the terrible thing but, often, wind up overcorrecting.

Think about the Three Mile Island nuclear-reactor accident in No one was killed, and the lasting health and environmental effects were negligible. But it was so frightening that it essentially killed off the nuclear-power expansion in the U. Even as other countries embraced nuclear as a relatively clean and safe way to make electricity — often using American technology, by the way — the U. We burned more and more coal to make electricity. From an environmental and health perspective, coal is almost indisputably worse than nuclear.

Also: when the only thing worse than being excluded from a medical trial was being in cluded:. Evelynn HAMMONDS: The use of vulnerable populations of African-Americans, people in prison, children in orphanages, vulnerable populations like these had been used for medical experimentation a fairly long time. And: what happens when a new class of drugs comes to the market with great clinical-trial results ….

Ben GOLDACRE: But none of them have got evidence showing that they reduce your risk of heart attack or renal failure or any of the actual, real stuff that patients actually care about. Vinay PRASAD: Medical practice was based on bits and scraps of evidence, anecdotes, bias, preconceived notions, and probably a lot psychological traps.

On any list of medical failures, thalidomide is near the top. Thalidomide and its derivatives have been used to successfully treat leprosy , AIDS , and multiple myeloma. That said, its effect on pregnant women, as we heard, contributed to women being excluded from many drug trials. Thalidomide and another good-seeming drug that went bad, called DES. What we did was to bring together both oncologists and fertility specialists. Many of the young people will actually survive that initial diagnosis and live long liv es.

When they returned from that cancer experience many of them were sterilized by those same life-preserving treatments. We want to provide fertility options to both males and females. So we developed — not only kind of the corridors of communication between oncology and fertility — but we also created new technologies that could provide new options for young women and for pediatric males and females.

So for Teresa Woodruff, as for many in the medical community, the future holds great promise. But so many decisions are informed by mistakes of the past. Like thalidomide and DES, which first became available in the s. Miscarriage was thought at the time, medically, to be caused at some level by low estrogen.

Supplying this estrogenic-like factor was thought to correct a really difficult problem. Stephen J. Was miscarriage in fact caused by an estrogen shortage? It affected boys and, especially, girls. The onset of that disease is clearly estrogen-dependent and probably a very narrow window during pregnancy when estrogen would have that effect. In , because of the tragic consequences of DES and thalidomide, the F.

Which meant that many of the drugs that later came to the market had been tested only on male subjects. Which could cause some real trouble for women. Ambien is a sleeping pill whose main ingredient is a drug called zolpidem.

Americans love their sleeping pills — about 60 million prescriptions are written each year for roughly 9 million people. Some two-thirds of these medications contain zolpidem , which was approved by the F.

But as it turned out, men and women metabolize the drug differently. But they only studied the efficacy on males, had no females in that efficacy study. I assume those will be different clearance rates. Can you explain why that is?

But probably the most important part of drug metabolism is the liver. Males and females have different enzymes and different Ps that are on the liver. That can alter the way drugs get cleared. For example, women wake faster from sedation, with anesthetics, so they recover much more slowly and have more reported pain events in hospital.

Males have testosterone, and females have estrogen and progesterone. And so those hormones influence a lot of the biology of males and females in a very distinct and different way.
