I do believe that some kinds of vaccines can be 'effective' (and to a lesser degree 'safe') in certain situations such as a pandemic or biological warfare environment. In such situations the risk/reward ratio is well outside the norm. In 'normal' circumstances it makes little sense to me to vaccinate for non-problems when a vaccination regime could be implemented if/when needed.
One of the justifications for giving vaccine manufacturers immunity in the legal system was that they would then maintain production capacity to a point where it could conceivably meet unusual challenges as above described.
If should have been anticipated that they would use their own legal immunity to make tons of money with which to capture the regulatory system. When they did just that, it should have been the case that the abuse was ended. Clearly this has not happened either, and I attributed it to being the case that the same parties who implemented the regulatory capture (by buying/intimidating politicians) have done the same with many other sectors including, most importantly, academia and the press.
Another factor which I'm increasingly convinced is involved is outlined in the following quote. I've not yet transcribed it to this particular thread. For well over a century since science came into it's own, a class of elites have recognized the utility of biology, endocrinology, etc. Just as a people can change their leadership, the leadership can change their people:
Diet, injections and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all will believe themselves happy, because the government will tell them that they are so.
Another formation of the quote an others from the author who was in the upper ranks of elite philosophy at his time:
