 "Safe and effective"  (Medical terminology, Marketing)   | |
|---|---|
Safe and Effective is a designation for drugs, but also a marketing term to foster acceptance. Many things throughout history have been sold as safe and/or beneficial, that actually weren't. This page will list any substance that was marketed for human consumption/use and therefore was considered safe, but actually was not, whether the term safe and effective was used for marketing or not - to give an overview what kind of quackery and profit driven interest in pharma and elsewhere has been going on historically.

| Azidothymidine | Drug that wiped out a generation of people diagnosed with HIV in the early 1990s, but not before making GlaxoSmithKline/Wellcome Trust billions in revenue. |
| DDT | Originally developed as an insecticide, thanks to ineptitude (and possibly corruption) used without second guesses as to what it's health impacts may be. |
| Diethylstilbestrol | Given to pregnant women in 1938-1970s. Causes high risk of cancer and genital deformations for several generations. |
| Glyphosate | A herbicide heavily promoted by Monsanto, increasingly being agreed to be a carcinogen. |
| RNA Vaccine | A vaccine based on changing the human RNA. The concept has long been of high military interest. |

| Vioxx | Big Pharma painkiller that might have killed 500.000 people in the United States alone, after the manufacturer Merck withheld evidence of its dangers. |
| Water/Fluoridation | Marketed as an anti-tooth decay improvement, there is increasing evidence that the fluoridation of water may have a range of deleterious effects upon the brain (e.g. lowering IQ) and may actually not have much affect on tooth decay. The academic community was for a long time extremely hostile to anyone who challenged this practice. |
