There are many books on Covid in the market. We have no way of verifying their sources. Do you trust what "Neither Safe Nor Effective" says?

I'm looking forward to reading this book. Especially since I saw so much evidence encouraging getting the vaccine, I am curious about the evidence that is against it.

Everyone has an opinion on this subject, especially those that are in the medical field. Of course, they are going to persuade you to come over to their way of thinking by throwing at you all of the research that they have done. Have they included any of the research from the other side's perspective? No, I think not. So, you have to read the book and decide for yourself whether you want to believe its contents or not. I took the evidence in the book with a grain of sand.

I am attracted to this book, I have only read a little about it and I would like to delve deeper into the subject since I have a very particular thought about issues related to vaccination. I don't trust any particular position, but I do like reading other points of view.

I am looking forward to reading this book. One thing I'm going to looking out for is the evidences or researches that backs up the book's content and authenticates it.

It's essential to recognise that even well-intentioned authors, like Dr Colleen, can fall prey to confirmation bias.
I believe that as a naturopath, the author effectively presents their opinion on Covid-19 and vaccines. However it is just that, an opinion. Information was interpreted and presented according to their beliefs. As readers we have the responsibility to do our own due diligence when it comes to deciding on the credibility of information. we ought to consider factors such as the author's expertise on the matter, or whether the studies used in this book adhered to rigorous scientific standards and whether those studies actually appropriately tested effectiveness of vaccinations - the subject at hand. It becomes especially important when these kinds of discussions have real life impact on the general public's trust in healthcare systems and may discourage healthcare seeking behaviours.
