Do you have a detailed source for the story about Thalidomide? (in German is OK) America rejected it, too, but as far as I can tell, for no reason that actually would have detected the problem. So the detail I’m wondering about is whether the East German rejection actually singled out pregnancy.

It seems they did single out pregnancy. German wiki says it, with a German language journalistic source behind a paywall. Then again, the journalistic source is fifty years after the fact, and printed in a far-left journal that’s exactly the kind of medium that’d want the East Germans to look good.
