There's nothing wrong with thalidomide as long as it's properly used/avoided. The directions and counterindications are clearly listed. Now, GMO food... is a horse of a different colour.
In reality no one can be said to be absolutely pessimistic nor absolutely optimistic

No radiation was observed.
THey were imprecise, yes. They observed IR, of course but, to the point, what kind and how much of hard radiation would you expect from a device with supposed output of ~ 2kW (if I didn't bungle the zeroes)?
