There is nothing which is safe and effective. Non-defective
batches of vaccines can still lead to side effects. It is
necessary to keep the cost low enough that the person taking
the vaccine can afford the risk, and this is likely to be too
low for the company manufacturing the vaccine to get enough
profit to take the risk even of "good" vaccines. There is a
benefit to society in having people not get infected.
