It was created in the 1980s, after lawsuits against vaccine companies and health care providers threatened to cause vaccine shortages and reduce U.S. vaccination rates, which could have caused a resurgence of vaccine preventable diseases.

Historically drug companies paid settlements but in this case pharma has no legal obligation.

Pharmaceutical companies have not been liable for vaccine related injuries since the 1980s, when the national vaccine injury compensation fund was created. When you use this, you must meet the criteria, which is pretty stringent in order to get compensation. Here is a quote from the website:

So, basically pharmaceutical companies were being sued SO MUCH for vaccine injuries, the federal government had to step in because pharmaceutical companies were going to make less or no vaccines because they were losing so much money.

First of all, vaccines aren’t drugs in the same way as all those examples you gave, for a lot of reasons that would take some time to discuss.
The history of vaccines, at least since the end of WWII shows that if complications/adverse effects from vaccination occur (and they usually do, to some extent) they occur within the first couple of months after being vaccinated. Here’s a good article on the subject that gives a bunch of examples:

The most likely long term effect of the COVID19 vaccines is that not as many people will die from the COVID19 virus.
That will probably be massively disappointing to the doom porn addicts around here.
