The following contains approximately 100 scientific studies that at the very least should indicate that the vaccine debate is far from settled.
This compilation of studies is geared towards those who are largely convinced that "the science is in" regarding the safety and efficacy of all vaccines.
This is also not intended to be a gish gallop. The subject of vaccination is extremely nuanced and complex, and absolutely deserves a detailed, in depth discussion.
I've tried to present this material in as concise a manner as possible. Those that dismiss this information without careful consideration are doing this entire topic, and themselves, a great disservice.
This material is not meant to dissuade people from receiving vaccines, nor is it meant to demonstrate that all vaccines are harmful and ineffective.
Rather, the goal is create an impetus for a renewed conversation on an extremely important topic that affects the lives and well-being of future generations.
Although this information was compiled from a variety of sources, two books in particular proved to be indispensable: Miller's Review of Critical Vaccine Studies by Neil Z. Miller, and Dissolving Illusions by Suzanne Humphries.
For part I, see the following:

Families with vaccine-damaged children are being bullied into silence Why, if vaccines are so "safe" and "beneficial," are the whistle-blowers being bullied into silence? Why wouldn't they, in the spirit of safety, conduct more ($$) testing and do so through independent laboratories - not sponsored by big pharma?

The CDC themselves openly admit that "poorly constructed research studies" are a major problem, though they don't seem to care enough to actually do anything about that. They're just saying it to cover the asses in the future.
Furthermore, there is really no valid recourse for people that would like to sue. In '88 the US passed a law that established a "vaccine court," that pretty much insures the entire pharmaceutical industry against lawsuits, all payed for by a 75 cent tax on all vaccines. The VICP was established to override the jury system, and makes it completely impossible to file lawsuits against the pharma companies themselves. Because of this law, any injury related to a vaccine will be dismissed from all civil courts, state and federal. VICP is the only option.
The the credit of the VICP, victims have received something like 3.3Bn dollars across 5338 cases since 1988 according to [this](https://archive.is/PIBXR source). While its better than nothing, the works out to where the average settlement is ~$630,000. Is 630k is supposed to cover it? Hell, lots of functional adults won't retire at 60 if they have 630k, how is that supposed to covers someone for life?
Its a sad world we live in.
