This is a gross oversimplification and simply a dramatic response to a small problem. Yes - pharma companys do make money from these vaccines. Yes - that creates a conflict of interest.

But Im not so sure what you expect will happen here? Of course there are side effects? Every medical treatment on earth - literally since humanity started - has had side effects. The question is if those side effects are justifiable in comparison to the prevented harm to society.

And if you ask me, the prospect of millions of dead people due to, or related to covid makes a pretty huge load of side-effects tolerable if you see it like that.
