I appreciate the injection's appearance, the cover photo's font style, and the color, but the theme of the image is dark. That is not what I agree with. As others have pointed out, red would be more suitable. I concur with that as well. Perhaps the author wishes to call that time period the "black period."

A very interesting cover. The needle definitely caught my eye. I thought the overall cover was very apt given how the book deals with COVID.

I like the dark cover because what is being discussed in the book is heavy. I believe the black cover and the syringe dress the book's content well.

I agree! The cover effectively conveys the book's theme by showcasing a vaccine syringe with a balance scale in the background, symbolizing the weighing of pros and cons. The title "Neither Safe Nor Effective" is attention-grabbing and thought-provoking, encouraging readers to dive into the book for a more nuanced understanding of the COVID vaccine's advantages and disadvantages. The simple and bold design makes it stand out, making it a fitting cover for a non-fiction book that explores a timely and important topic.

I'm unsure whether the cover design was a deliberate choice or a result of budget constraints, but it seems of low quality for a book. If it weren't black, it could be mistaken for a research article or something similar.

The book’s dark theme fits the description of its content. The crooked needle is equally a creative illustration. Also I like how well the colors used complement each other.

I believe that the book’s cover is ideal for the book and what I actually find most appealing is the title as it makes me understand what to expect.

I believe the cover suits the book's content, not only because it's about the COVID-19 vaccine but because the dark pallet suits the dark themes discussed in the book.

I think the book's cover is great. The color is rich and seemed to pass across a somewhat subtle message. Even though I don't normally consider the cover when judging a book, I think this one is just great.

I believe that the color scheme and image of the needle on the book cover align well with the book's theme. However, due to the length of the title and subtitles, the needle may not stand out as prominently as intended, potentially impacting the overall cover design.

I liked it. I though the black background made every little detail and slight inclusion if little colour standout.

I believe the cover perfectly aligns with the book's theme. The pitch-black color of the backdrop and the crooked supports the book's title, "Neither Safe Nor Effective"

Some people here prefer the red background, but after reading through the book, I think the dark color suits the heavy and serious content and message well. It's a perfect cover for me.

Non fiction books don't need much ideas on the cover. It must simply match the main theme of the book, and this one does it well.

The black background highlights the dark topic in discussion. I like the neat and clear font used. Yet, somehow it is a little too simple.
