I have read many books about public health, and I know of no evidence
for this assertion. Where did you get this information?
That is not the same as saying all vaccines have or that any one
vaccine has (though I am not ruling it out) but yes I solidly
believe that some applications of some vaccines have been
mostly/entirely pointless and yet killed people.
If you solidly believe this, where is your solid evidence?
There are also arguments that most/all of the deaths from Spanish
flu were the results of vaccines, a quick search pulls up this page
which I have not read:

No doubt many more exist on the subject.
There were no vaccines for influenza in 1918. Virology was just
beginning, and the influenza virus was not discovered until much
later. No doubt many web pages like this exist, but they have no
scientific merit. You can find many web pages declaring that cold
fusion does not exist, and others that claim evolution does not
occur. Finding a web page or book with claim does not make the claim valid.
