I agree that vaccines are not perfect and ways to make them safer should be explored, but I see no evidence that that is not the case.

I agree whole-heartedly.

Vaccines have been infinitely valuable, and have saved countless lives.

The question is: Given the above fact, and that, potentially, people are at risk from them in an unforseen way, how do you go about convincing people that the problem should be acknowledged, looked at, and then fixed?

Here are the hurdles:

People are happy in the thought that vaccines are great. They don't want to endanger their kids. They're getting mixed messages (or, most of the time, only the positives) that vaccines do harm along with the greater good.

Drug manufacturs want to maintain/expand profits. Finding a problem with a vaccine/drug not only hurts sales, but it opens them up to HUGE liability.

How do we get past the Hurdles?

Why do you think they aren't looking into and trying to "fix" any problems? Doing otherwise would open them up to massive class action lawsuits later if it is proved they had any any idea their vaccines caused problems and did nothing to fix them.

If some vaccines do cause autism, it will be proved eventually and prolonging the use of potentially dangerous vaccines simply isn't financially sound business practice, not to mention ethically unsound. If they can, drug manufacturers will make vaccines safer out of self preservation.

Of course this assumes a free market for vaccines which isn't quite the case ,as the CDC pretty much controls the market. If you want safer vaccines you should lobby congress to get government ineptitude out of the vaccine market.
