    Why do they always use the phrase “safe and effective”. Almost as if they are programming people by repeating the same phrase everywhere…

      Nah, it’s almost as if proving a treatment is “safe and effective” is the entire purpose of a phase ii clinical trial.

      If you want pharmaceutical conspiracies to chase, follow the money. The point at which they are trying to “program” you is when the drug hits the market and commercials come out. It’s not that these products are ineffective at this point, just that they will do just about anything to capitalize on them.

      Pharmaceutical companies are by no means clean and trustworthy, but your conspiracy is literally just a description of marketing and advertising, which I agree is a plague upon our society.

      There are things that are safe but not effective.

      There are things that are effective but not safe.

      There are things that are neither safe nor effective.

      For example: There was some drug to stop morning sickness (im lazy and not going to look up the drug’s name) that was really effective but absolutely turned out to not be safe as it caused all sorts of birth defects in the developing fetus.
