I'm aware of it, I didn't have to go hunt it down or anything, if you just read on any basic vaccine info or news website they will teach you about vaccine imprinting, it was like all over the place during Covid vaccination.
I'd argue, if there's anything that hurts being able to talk about those nuances more openly, it's the anti-vaxxers that jump at anything to shout demon. There's a ton of challenges, and issues with vaccines, or with making a car for that matter, there's a million ways to do it where it is harmful, deadly, dangerous, etc. That's almost the case for every single invention ever made. But the anti-vaxx just latch on, like we can't make anything that has risks into something that ends up justifying it's use because you can minimize the risks enough to warrant it being a net positive. Again, same as cars.
What you are talking about in terms of the methodology and the current environment for research is not great, but in all honesty, it's always like this, any field of research or engineering, and yet somehow inventions and innovations to come out of them ever so often, and progress is made. If you peek under the cover of everything we ever invented from the past, it'll seem just as dirty and broken.
