Less than a year later, multiple groups of scientists had successfully developed vaccines that provided a great deal of protection against Covid-19. That medical science can reduce the virus from an existential threat to a vaccine-preventable disease in a matter of months is a remarkable—even miraculous—achievement. Governments in high-income countries cut deals with pharmaceutical companies to buy vaccines and began jabbing their populations as soon as possible.
Even so, testing is said to have been rushed and the possible side-effects had not been fully understood or disclosed to the general public, thereby causign further damange and strain on the health system. Moreover, the government rush to get a vaccine also caused red-tape to be lifted; WHO, CDC, FDA suddenly approved drugs and said they were "miracle drugs" or "completely safe to use" and "100 percent" protected against COVID-19. In a way, the govenrment and healthcare system gave its citizens only a "half-truth".
