Vimpat was tested in people 17 years of age and older. Most effective seizure medications are usually effective at all ages, but side effects and dosages can differ. Because Vimpat affects the brain growth factor, CRMP-2, a possible negative effect on brain development in young children cannot be ruled out.
During the 1960s, environmentalism became a mass social movement. Drawing on a culture of political activism inspired in part by the civil rights and antiwar movements, thousands of citizens, particularly young middle-class white men and women, became involved with environmental politics.
That was unfortunate. Whether the organizers of last weekendâs rally knew it or not, the 1963 March on Washington inspired some of the pioneering activists who created the modern-day environmental movement. Some of those environmentalists participated in the civil rights movement that birthed the 1963 March. Since that time, however, the environmental and civil rights movements have never fully gelled together, despite some efforts to make that happen along the way. There were signs that the organizers of last weekendâs rally were again trying to connect the dots.
