All my money is on birth defects and/or sterility. Ten years from now we'll be reading headlines about how the DNC tried to warn us about Trump's toxic baby killer potion but white people were just too darn evil to listen. Count on it.
Never in human history has a drug suddenly killed everyone who took it, or even close. Even back when medicine amounted to "here, smoke this hallucinogenic herb I found growing in the jungle and maybe something good will happen", death by medicine was extremely rare.
Yeah I won't lie that stuff is pretty darn compelling when you look it up. I mean I can't say for certain but I would actually bet that is what happened.

This was posted a while ago about how Theralizumab came close in clinical trials.
In its first human clinical trials, it caused catastrophic systemic organ failures in the subjects, despite being administered at a supposed sub-clinical dose of 0.1 mg per kg, some 500 times lower than the dose found safe in animals. Six volunteers were hospitalized on 13 March 2006, at least four of these suffering from multiple organ dysfunction.
The trial was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, with two of the eight subjects receiving a placebo, and six receiving 1/500th of the highest dose used in previous experiments with cynomolgus macaques. All six of the trial subjects who received the drug were male, aged 19 to 34 (median 29.5); none had a notable medical history, and all were well in the 2 weeks before the trial. The drug was given by intravenous infusion, starting at 8am, with an interval of around 10 minutes between patients, and each infusion lasting from 3 to 6 minutes. Roughly fifty minutes after the first participant received his dose, he complained of a headache, and soon afterwards fever and pain. He took his shirt off, complaining that he felt like he was burning. Shortly after, the remaining participants who received the actual drug also became ill, vomiting and complaining of severe pain.

...or fact that antibiotics hadn't been yet invented to fight secondary infections.

Shit got real very fast.
Imagine being guy #6, having just got your dose and seeing guy #1 have a real bad time.
Pros: They know what's going to happen in 50 minutes.
Cons: They know what's going to happen in 50 minutes.
