History helps! When doctors prescribe drugs they are invariably "safe and effective". We discover the patient harm drugs cause only after taking them for years, and sometimes decades.
This statement/assertion can be authenticated on a regular basis. Take just two recent examples. This CHD article, "Pfizer sued over birth control link to brain tumours". And this article from the Vaccine Reaction that outlines the discovery that Covid-19 vaccines have been found to cause 6 autoimmune disorders.
Conventional medicine often prides itself on such revelations. It demonstrates, they say, their commitment to keeping us safe from drugs that cause patient harm.
Perhaps, but only to the most limited extent!
What we should all learn from such articles is that we can be prescribed, and take drugs for years, often decades, before the harm they can cause is discovered by the pharmaceutical medical establishment. These ‘discoveries’ are not made during drug development, they are made only after being sold to us as “safe and effective”. We take them, and continue to take them, on this understanding - and as a result we get ill.
Even after this we face years of the harm caused being denied and discounted by our doctors, and the medical profession making it as difficult as possible for patients to prove that it was the drugs that caused them to be sick.
And throughout this tedious process, no action is taken. Conventional medicine continues to prescribe the implicated drugs. “There is no proof…”! How long will it be before these two articles are taken seriously, how long before the medical profession accepts that birth control is linked to brain tumours; or that the Covid-19 vaccines can damage our immune system? Or indeed that “the benefits of the drug outweighs the disadvantages”. Or that “there is no alternative” to pharmaceutical medicine.
So the history of pharmaceutical drugs demonstrates that we can never be certain that any drug, considered “safe and effective” today, will not be found to be dangerous and ineffective tomorrow. The long and ongoing history of banned and withdrawn drugs amply demonstrates this.
Pharmaceutical medicine has never been “safe and effective”. This is regularly demonstrated, even in the mainstream media when it bothers to report on known or suspected drug harm. Serious adverse drug and vaccine reactions are only ‘discovered’ after long periods of time. Therefore, any drug anyone is taking today should be, must be considered suspect - at the very least.
