Have we truly reflected on the meaning of the “Safe and Effective” mantra and its consequences? This phrase, which was repeated to us by the media, politicians, and health authorities during the COVID pandemic, was used to try to generate confidence with an experimental and poorly tested product to encourage widespread adoption of vaccination. It was recommended and imposed on everyone equally, regardless of their comorbidities and autoimmune or cancer diseases. Only a newly released drug will truly know its safety or effectiveness over time. And time has shown that they were neither safe nor effective.
