Interestingly, Howard Florey and co came to America looking for medical facilities capable of mas-producing the new drug. It was not with-held until patents had been set in stone, as this was deemed unethical at the time. Patents PF, not patients.

It was a US Department of Agriculture lady who found that canteloupe (rockmelons for us OZ folk) yielded significantly greater amounts of the drug.

Florey was vilified by a group of society who blamed him and his wonder-drug for allowing the population explosion to occur.
