Art/Literary - Journalism / género: ensayo | | Spanish term or phrase: las medicinas | el efecto de las medicinas
Pero no es fácil habituarse a un modesto paraíso después de tantos años de estar en el infierno. ... Muchos de los que llegan a los refugios sufren enfermedades que les fueron inoculados para experimentar en ellos el efecto de las medicinas: un grupo numeroso de los veteranos lo forman los seropositivos.
(Antonio Muñez Molina, 1956- "Nuestros semejantes") |

| | the medicines/drugs | Explanation:
It's clear to me that the reference is to the testing of medicines. The World Health Organization used to use the term 'drugs' but is now transitioning to 'medicines'.
This isn't about vaccines.
