"While it's devastating to have side effects, we wouldn't have eradicated diseases like polio without vaccines"
Let me stop you right there. This is false, and it makes the rest of your words practically meaningless because everything else you're going on about is essentially based on this opinion of medicine. John McKinlay predicted that pharma would take credit for eradicating childhood diseases way back in 1977, and guess what, they did! Deaths from childhood diseases started declining PRIOR to vaccinations, and it was due to better hygiene practices and large populations centers getting sanitation under control.
You might also want to look into symptoms of polio and symptoms of exposure to DDT. Once we stopped spraying children with DDT, polio all but disappeared. If I wasn't at work and expected to get things done, I'd link you an article to that as well, but you can easily find it with a search I'm sure.
