Big pharma corporations have a reduced incentive to create the safest vaccines possible because they are not directly held accountable in the US. They can't be sued for any of their vaccines causing injury or even death. They don't lose a single penny from being sued, because they can't be sued.
This inability to sue them came as a result of a 1986 law that gave pharmaceutical companies total immunity from being sued. This created a shield over them and prevented a feedback penalty from creating harmful products that would disincetivize making vaccines that result in harming people. People would instead be paid for injury from vaccines by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) in 1988.
The federal Advisory Commission on Childhood Vaccines (ACCV) has held meetings at least twice per years since 2006 in order to make "recommendations to the Secretary of Health and Human Services on issues relating to the operation of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP)". The second meeting of 2018 was recently concluded on June 15th. Included in these meetings are reports from the Department of Justice (DOJ) on cases settled for vaccine injury or deaths.

The DOJ publishes their litigation reports for settlements each quarter. The June 15th 2018 report is from 2018-02-16 to 2018-05-15, and indicates 263 petitions were filed for compensation (240 adults, 23 minors), with 147 cases adjudicated and 113 compensated. But out of the 113 compensated, only 68 are listed in settlements.
Here is the list of the 68 cases, with the vaccine, injury and time taken to reach a settlement (found starting on page 12 of the report):

Take note that out of the 68 settlements, 53 are from the flu vaccine. That's the most common vaccine being given in the public, with 78% of settlements for the flu vaccine. Also notice that one of the settlements wasn't for an injury from the flu shot, but a death. It would seem that the flu shot is the most dangerous vaccine. The most common injuries are Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) which leads to paralysis.
SIRVA can lead to intense, prolonged pain, limited range of motion, and shoulder-related injuries such as Adhesive Capsulitis or Frozen Shoulder Syndrome.
Who Pays for Settlements
The funds to pay for vaccine injuries or deaths comes from vaccine manufacturers through an excise tax of $0.75 that is imposed on each disease that is prevented by a vaccine. If a vaccine treats 3 diseases, then it is taxed 3x $0.75 which is $2.25.
This means vaccine manufacturers are paying a tax to cover the costs of harmful vaccination outcomes, even if a vaccine has no nasty ingredients and has only helped and never harmed anyone. It's a tax on all vaccines. A company that makes a vaccine that harms more people than others isn't getting charged more. They don't have to pay compensation to victims themselves. The only drawback is loss of sales from sales being cut.
The vaccine industry has all manufacturers cover vaccine injuries through a tax on all of them which makes them each immune from being sued. Vaccines can be made that harm people, and they don't have to worry about being sued. The whole 'cabal' foots the bill and each is insulated within the industry.
Vaccine production has increased since 1986, both because of technology, but also because of the incentive to make money and not have to pay the bill for being sued anymore. Even when a vaccine has many negative outcomes to harm those who receive it, like Gardasil, the vaccine lobby is strong enough to keep the pressure of using it in place and keep harming more people as they continue to make money.
The CDC is the biggest vaccine buyer, spending $4 billion each year, funded by tax payers. Tax payers may not be directly funding the NVICP for compensating the vaccine injured, but manufacturers can easily pass the excise tax onto the buyer, and somewhere along the line is people paying for it, either indirectly through taxes or directly by having to pay for a vaccine themselves or through their medical insurance that they pay for.
In the end, we pay for the vaccines, then we can't sue them if we or a family member is injured or dies from a vaccine. We have to go to a special vaccine court that can sometimes takes years to reach a settlement.
Vaccine Injured Higher Than Indicated
Prior to 1986, there were many lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers that they were overwhelmed and lobbied blackmailed the government to grant them legal immunity or they would stop making vaccines at all. Vaccines are so harmful that they can't survive in a free market.
Even with the NVICP to compensate victims of vaccines, many people don't know about this fund. In 2014 the first ever Government Accounting Office (GAO) report on the NVICP "Vaccine "Court" criticized the government on that point. This means that even with the DOJ report showing 263 petitions and 68 settlements, these are a fraction of the real number of vaccine injured. There are probably more vaccine injuries and deaths in reality, but people haven't sought legal remedies for injuries because they don't know they exist.
Doctors can report vaccine injuries or death to the The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), but some possibly don't know what that looks like, and if they do they can be pressured to not report it, since in our present times to claim a vaccine causes harm is often professional suicide.
One nurse's story talks about how many children go to the E.R. for vaccine reactions, and the correlation to vaccines is not reported to VAERS:
"I cannot even begin to guess how many times over the years I have seen vaccine reactions come through my E.R. Without any exaggeration, it has to be counted in hundreds."
"Once, I was training a nursing student, about to graduate, on their E.R. experience rotation in nursing school. This student and I floated up to triage to cover the triage nurse for a break. I was quizzing them on what to ask and look for as a triage nurse on pediatric kids that came through. I made a point about asking about immunizations right out the gates. The student was puzzled, and asked why, and I told the student because we see vaccine reactions every day and it's their job to catch it, alert the doctor and the parents, and report it to VAERS."
"For all the cases I've seen, I have NEVER seen any medical provider report them to VAERS. I have filed VAERS reports. But I am the ONLY nurse I have EVER met that files VAERS reports. I also have NEVER met a doctor that filed a VAERS report. ... VAERS is WOEFULLY under reported."
"We lie. As a profession. (I don't.) But as a profession, we lie, we rug sweep the risks, and we sugar coat it. We do it every day with every interaction. That is the truth of it."
Austism Ignored
To make matters worse, the NVICP ignored claims of autism caused by vaccines, mostly from the MMR vaccine. Autism became the most reports vaccine injury brought before the vaccine court. By 2010, 13,330 cases were filed, and 5,617 were autism cases. That's 42% of all cases! The trust fund of the Vaccine Injury Compensation Trust Fund could not handle it. Of the 13,330, 2,409 were compensated, with 5,933 still pending and the rest dismissed. Most of the remaining cases were for autism.
To get rid of the hassle from autism claims, 3 test cases were selected to determine if there was any validity to the rest of the claims. Appointed judges ruled that vaccines were not the cause of autism, and applied those rulings to all other cases, throwing them out with on one getting compensated.
Hundreds of thousands of children and their families have been denied compensation damages as a result. This was done through the Omnibus Autism Proceeding. To this day, no one can file with the vaccine court to sue for vaccine injury compensation based on autism. The official position remain that vaccines do not cause autism.
Thank you for your time and attention. Peace.
