Skepticism is a good thing. Let's be clear about that. But so is actual evidence. The best evidence you can get in medicine is large-scale clinical experience. When you're giving it to millions of children or adults every year, we get a really, really good idea of what it does in the general population - far better than any phase 3 clinical trial.
Example: The clinical trials said the COVID shot was 95% effective totally safe, no rare but serious side effects. You would have a good chance of feeling miserable for a day or two, bad enough to stay home from work, but that was specifically to cause a strong immune response. That's what they told us. Then, we gave it to more than a billion people around the globe, et voila, we saw the rare, but serious stuff they covered up (lied about): myocarditis, micro-clots, sudden deaths, etc. The large-scale data told us the truth. The shots didn't prevent infection, prevent viral production, prevent viral shedding and spreading of the disease. At best, all they did was reduce your risk of having an infection bad enough to put you in the hospital.
Now, think back on all of those other vaccines you're now questioning. Hundreds of millions of flu shots are given every year. Are they killing people? Are we seeing wave upon wave of death or other disease that clearly delineates between those who get the shots and those who don't? No. Do the flu shots provide strong protection? It varies from year to year, but generally, it's pretty weak: 30-60% from year to year. For context, FDA generally won't approve a vaccine if it can't show 50% efficacy. So, they're not great products. But they're not killing large swathes of people either. The reason you get a flu shot is to protect kids and elderly people at higher risk, and to give yourself a reduction of severity if you're a healthy, working age adult, so you're less likely to miss work and more likely to quickly recover if you do get it. Can you go without? Absolutely. But it's not going to kill you if your job (ie healthcare, child care setting, etc) requires it.
Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater because Pfizer and Moderna cheated like hell with the COVID vaccines in hopes of cornering a $100 billion COVID vaccine market and more importantly, gaining control of mRNA manufacturing technology. Look back at the long-term clinical experience and see for yourself.
Would we even notice if flu shots were causing chronic illness? We've been giving them for so long. First it started with just vulnerable & elderly (to protect themselves), then healthy adults (to protect vulnerable) then children. It's been a gradual increase for decades? Is the rate of chronic illness /autoimmune issues decreasing or increasing?
Furthermore, would primary care doctors even correlate their patients developing chronic illness timed with their flu shots when so many people don't even get their flu shot from their doctor, they get it at their pharmacy, grocery store, workplace etc.

Yes.

Yes.
People who regularly get vaccines end up with depressed, dysfunctional immune systems, and do indeed get sick more often and die earlier. Vaccines in general cause this problem, and the more you take the worse it is.
This fact is covered up by the way they game the stats for their government approval. If a vaccine protects you with 50% efficacy for a year for that year's seasonal flu, but causes a 2% increase in all cause mortality, it will be approved and the danger it poses will never be divulged.
I am pretty objective and analytical by nature, I think. The incidence of systemic disease in women between 40 and 60, for example, was the same in the breast implant and not breast implant population when suing for that was all the rage. I was not then and am not now convinced that there was any evidence whatsoever to suggest causation.
RFK, Jr.'s research on vaccines is pretty compelling though. The amount of autism, autoimmune disease and sids deaths since the dramatic and exponential increase in the number of "essential" childhood vaccines is VERY suspect. As is the fact that you are not allowed to ask any questions or request more clinical testing without being pilloried as an "anti-vaxxer!"
In general, I don't think they (Reagan) should have given tort immunity for vaccinations. Whenever the legislature eliminates your Constitutional rights to a jury of your peers, and some executive branch bureaucracy takes over to ensure consumer "protection" through things like the National Childhood Vaccine
Injury Act of 1986, where the protection is really for the manufacturers, the little guy gets screwed.
