What do you think is safer all around, going unvaccinated or being vaccinated? It looks to me like you are being selective with your science here. Picking and choosing which science is valid and which isn't.
Though one more thing, with every mistake, science gets that much better at giving a better antidote to whatever problem it is working on. So just because a bad medicine was made in the past, doesn't mean that you can write off the medicines of the present.
(c) Direct warnings
No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vaccine after October 1, 1988, solely due to the manufacturer’s failure to provide direct warnings to the injured party (or the injured party’s legal representative) of the potential dangers resulting from the administration of the vaccine manufactured by the manufacturer.

In Civil Action No. 10-4374, Relators Stephen A. Krahling and Joan A. Wlochowski (“Plaintiffs”) bring this qui tam action in accordance with the False Claims Act (“FCA”), pursuant to 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-33. Relators allege that their former employer, Defendant Merck & Co., Inc. (“Merck”) fraudulently misled the government and omitted, concealed, and adulterated material information regarding the efficacy of its mumps vaccine in violation of the FCA. The United States declined to intervene in this action, filing a Notice of Election to Decline Intervention before this Court on April 27, 2012. (Dkt. No. 14). Defendant moves to dismiss the Amended Complaint pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), 8(a)and 9(b). (Dkt.No. 45).

On your first part, and I'll say it again.. I think being vaccinated is better. But I do not agree with injection based vaccines. There are oral and aerial based vaccines which I think are much better.
Glad you recognize science as a culmination of observations and mistakes (that should be repeatable) and assumed successes. I think science has some basic facts and groundwork covered, like knowing what Vitamin C will do. When it comes to injection based vaccines, there are so many variables involved that it's hard to blame the injection vaccine solely, and your doctor probably won't point the finger at their paycheck. In 40 years from now, I believe people will write off medicines of today, it happens frequently. Remember thalidomide?
Does this make you concerned or question vaccines at all? 42 U.S. Code § 300aa–22 - Standards of responsibility

Lawsuits against big Pharma companies (from scientists who work there) also don't give me much confidence in them.

At any rate.. in a way it is a gamble with unknown odds. I do agree that vaccines are effective, but don't know HOW effective because everyone is different, and doctors don't give you the odds of full immunity per shot. I also do not agree with the schedule of giving newborns vaccines, nor do I agree with the "cocktails" of vaccines like MMR, when I believe they should be separately given.
At any rate, I don't expect much to change, there is too much money involved for all participants.
Other than the injection part, what's the difference between oral and injected ones?
(Please don't say it bypasses the body's "natural" immune system when injected, it doesn't. At all).
It's really easy to spot a vaccine injury and it can traced directly back to the vaccine.
What are these variables you speak about?
The false vaccine injuries which people claim?
I think we all remember thalidomide.
We also tend to forget the thousands of other medicines which are safe and effective.
"At any rate.. in a way it is a gamble with unknown odds."
No it isn't.
You have less than a 1 in a million chance of a severe vaccine reaction.
I'm not a gambling man but those seems like pretty high odds.
"I do agree that vaccines are effective, but don't know HOW effective because everyone is different"
The efficacy rate is dependant on the vaccine.
MMR for instance has an efficacy rate of between 95-99%.
Doctors DO give you the "odds of full immunity", especially if you ask them...
"I also do not agree with the schedule of giving newborns vaccines, nor do I agree with the "cocktails" of vaccines like MMR, when I believe they should be separately given.
Thankfully it doesn't matter at all whether you agree with this or not.
The science still remains the same.
Unless of course you publish some research which proves otherwise.

What a BS pic.
First of, Big Pharma is not just vaccines, so comparing just the vaccine aspect of them to alternative medicine as a whole is very misleading.
I don't even see what organic food has to do with vaccines or placebos.
The graph doesn even mention what the billions of dollars represent. Is it profit?
So, yeah very misleading BS graph made with the sole purpose of pushing a point that is equally as ridiculous.

The body's immune system does work for scratches/cuts/wounds etc. Usually though, the immune system fights most of its battles in the respiratory, integumentary and digestive systems. All of those systems have had thousands if not millions of years to evolve to natural environmental threats.
Can you name any natural threat in the wild that injects ~1ml of man made vaccine excipients directly into the blood stream or muscle?

If they were false claims and nothing to worry about, why does the government protect the vaccine manufacturers? Why is there a Vaccine Court, and a National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program? Just for fun?

Yes, there are. It doesn't mean people should throw caution out the window because sometimes science seems to get it right.

Got a link to the odds per MMR, HepB or DTaP vaccines? I read the inserts all the time and have never seen the odds or efficacy rate listed. That sounds like legal liability.

Right, MMR is effective after how many shots? The CDC schedule lists at least 3 shots needed, starting at 12 months age. HepB shots start at birth and require 8 shots over time until 18 months old. That's a lot of repetition.
Furthermore, I don't think these students agree that the MMR shot is very effective:

I guess Japan should go back to the cocktail MMR jab after banning it years ago. I mean what would they know about science over there...

I'll just leave these 2 images here.. Things like quoting the business as being a 27+ billion dollars in 2009 alone. Maybe your image is outdated? Also note the presentation about how to "Avoid FDA scrutiny" -- it sounds fascinating.
Out of the three, vaccines bring in the least revenue per year so will therefore produce the least revenue profit. "Natural" health or alternative health is pretty much ineffective when it comes to tackling spreadable diseases.

And that is partly why that graph of yours is nonsense.Vaccines have nothing to do with organic food, and vaccines are just one part of Big Pharma.
Also a smaller revenue doesn't mean smaller profit per se, but never mind that.
It's all besides the point.
When people say that Big Pharma is all for profit it means that their words and actions can't necessarily be trusted.
Wether this is the case or not with organic food or alternative medicine is not even relevant. Just a contrived comparison that is also presented incorrectly.
Like a smaller revenue, that is still billions of dollars, is somehow not big enough to cause corruption.
