The balance between the benefit and the collateral effects...

The above is no news, some doctors have been honest when speaking to the public, I remember clearly one of them saying on the TV that there is no zero-risk drug or vaccine.

What is unacceptable is that governments (including the Italian) were actively engaged in concealing the collateral effects.

This lack of transparency and democracy has probably led to the collapse of a few. In Italy, the present government was in part elected by opposing the mandatory vaccination strategy of the former government.

N.B. I am not against vaccination, I'm against mandatory and uninformed vaccinations. What should have been done, a campaign of information and transparency, then let the people decide for themselves. Most people in Italy were scared of the virus, so a very high percentage of vaccinations was guaranteed anyhow, no mandate necessary.

In favour of mandatory vaccinations, I can say that the internet became such a chaotic place filled with the wildest absurd facts against the vaccine. But this should have been fought with a proper, well-advised campaign in the media, not by following the methods od a dictatorship.
