Vaccines have shown themselves to be safe after decades of research, and multiple studies over many decades.
When a pharmaceutical company sets the price of a drug, they take several factors into consideration:
*R&D cost of the drug in question
*R&D costs of drugs that will never be released to the public (failed research)
*Production costs of the drugs
*Estimated sales volume while the drug is protected by patient
*Estimated subsidies to be given to consumers of the drug, domestic and international
*Profit
Above all, if a drug is priced above what the market will support, it will not sell.
As to your concerns about some drugs being dangerous, drugs are often needed when a person is very sick, often to the point at which if the person does not receive treatment, they will all but certainly die in the semi-near future. Cancer for example is going to kill a person without treatment, and many cancer treating drugs are what amounts to poison. This poison kills the cancer, but it also affects the rest of a person's body, and the patient is made aware of the risks and side affects of taking the drug, so they can be informed when they consent to treatment. Over time, new treatments for some deadly ailments have become less harmful than previous treatments due to advances in technology and additional research.
There is no reason to hold a drug company liable for a side effect of a drug if the risk of the side effect was disclosed ahead of time. I don't think anyone is being compelled into taking drugs that has a real risk of serious negative side effects.
Another case of answering the questions you wish I had asked, not the questions I actually asked. I never advocated for getting rid of vaccines. I asked why is it ok to remove people's bodily autonomy and make vaccines compulsory in violation of informed medical consent? You make claims to their safety, but you also argue they shouldn't hold liability. If they were that safe, why do they need government protection from liability? This is usually the part where you spew platitudes about "the greater good" and make unsupported claims of safety with zero substantiation.

I didn't say vaccine manufacturers should not be held liable for real harm they cause. I am not aware of any special protections given to vaccine manufacturers. Vaccines are administrated by doctors, usually pediatricians. It is up to the vaccine manufacturer to determine in which criteria patients should not receive a vaccine due to high risks of severe negative side effects. If a patient receives a vaccine despite should not have received the vaccine per manufacturer guidelines, that it not the manufactuer's fault it is the pediatricians fault for not running the prerequisite tests (not reading the tests correctly, not disclosing that it is inappropriate to give the vaccine, etc), or the parent/patients fault for receiving the vaccine despite being disclosed that receiving the vaccine is inappropriate. If the pediatrician does not follow the manufacturer guidelines, it is the pediatricians fault, and should be held responsible.
If manufacturer guidelines are followed for providing the vaccine, and a patient has real, severe side effects, the manufacturer should be held responsible.
