    Totally.

    Vaccines are the worst. I think I have never heard of one vaccine that did have a positive cost/benefit ratio.

    The same is true for most drugs. I wrote a report about Ritalin a while ago and what people don't realize is that if side-effects are uncommon (like 1 in 10000), they will still occur regularly on the population level. There are more than 5 million people on Ritalin so even for 1 in 100000 there would be 50 diagnosis of the side-effect.

    However, the ratios given on the leaflet for the medication are usually gross underestimates. This is obvious and a given. Medication is tested on lab animals and then humans. But those studies usually do only involve a handful of individuals. Even if a drug is tested thoroughly (with 5000 participants, which is huge sample) you still have no idea how the drug will influence the populaiton until it is administered to the population.

    The claim that one side-effect occurs in less than 1 in 10000 people can usually never be supported until the vaccine / medication is on the market, even in the ideal case of having a 5k sample for the medication. Most medications have less than a 100 human participants before they come on the market though. Then it usually takes 4 or 5 years before it is taken off the market because the claims of the pharmaceutical company where wrong. Then they get sued in civil lawsuits and lose about 4 to 5 billion, but it does not matter since they made 80 billion in revenue form the sale of the poison that was 'deemed' safe.

    And the word "side-effect" is really deceptive as it is just a regular effect of the drug in the system. 'Unintended effect' would be more fitting, but even then it should just be called effect of the drug is death in 1 in 10000 people.

    The manipulation as a result of the psychotrophic is a real physiological phenomenon. Not a side-effect, a direct causal effect of the drug that can be linked to it 100%.
