From the posts you’re seeing, several key statistical claims are highlighted to question vaccine safety and efficacy:

RFK Jr.’s rotavirus example: about 3 child deaths per year in the U.S. pre‑vaccine, dropping only to 2 deaths per year after mass vaccination of roughly 3 million children annually. This is used to argue the benefit is numerically tiny relative to exposure.
A claim that no studies have been done to:
1. Prove vaccines improve overall health
2. Prove they reduce mortality (instead asserting they show the opposite)
3. Prove the current CDC schedule is safe
4. Prove giving 8+ vaccines at once is safe
5. Test vaccines against a true placebo
A flu shot claim: “the more flu shots were given, the greater the mortality rates from the flu, in every country they looked at,” used to suggest higher vaccination correlates with higher flu death rates.

These points are framed as evidence that vaccinology is not following rigorous, honest science and that safety claims are overstated or unsupported.

Is there a specific vaccine or claim from those posts you want to dig into more?
