For products being marketed as "vaccines", what time period does The Ministry of Health consider a typical period of time for safety and efficacy data to be considered "long-term data"? What is the scientific and medical basis of this determination?

Does The Ministry of Health posses any long-term safety data for any COVID-19 inoculation? If so, what is that data?

Does The Ministry of Health posses any long-term efficacy data for any COVID-19 inoculation? If so, what is that data?

In the absence of long-term safety and efficacy data, on what basis can these products/treatments be claimed to be "safe" and "effective"? If such claims as "safe" and "effective" are implicitly inclusive of long-term safety and efficacy data, what long-term data substantiates such claims? If such claims as "safe" and "effective" exclude long-term claims of safety and efficacy, how is that exclusion effectively being communicated to policy-makers, media, healthcare providers, the general public, and other parties?

In the absence of long-term safety and efficacy data, is it reasonable or unreasonable to consider these products/treatments "experimental"? On what scientific and medical basis would such a definition be determined? If The Ministry of Health has not considered this, please explain why.

Regardless of terminology, how does such absence of long-term safety and efficacy data affect healthcare providers' legal and ethical obligations to facilitate informed consent?

If The Ministry of Health has not considered this, please explain why.

In the absence of long-term safety and efficacy data, can it ever be possible to determine that a pharmaceutical treatment is "safe" and "effective"? If The Ministry of Health has not considered this, please explain why.

• 〃During the 1918 flu pandemic in New Zealand, inhalation chambers were set up in towns and cities as ameans to boost immunity. The public were encouraged to attend these chambers and inhale a zinc sulfate mist, a process that was said to disinfect the lungs and throat and protect against infection. In reality, the inhalation of zinc sulfate caused damage to the lungs and throat, thereby making participants more susceptible to infection. ¶ In towns such as Ashburton, New Zealand for example, in order to be eligible to travel by train, people had to present documentation at the train station proving that they had been through the inhalation chamber.〃 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_sulfa...(medical_use)#Misuse
