There IS scrutiny on vaccines, by the scientific and medical community - your "scrutiny" (as presumably neither a PhD in a relevant field or MD) is not valuable or relevant. There is decades of research that says that currently recommended vaccines are safe and effective.

Women are definitely strongly underrepresented in medical texts, and it's not typically by choice: https://www.aamc.org/news/why-we-know-so-little-about-women-...

A lot of "the consensus" in medical literature predates the inclusion of women in medical research, and even still there things are not tested on women (often because of ethical risks around fertility and birth defects).
