Because there haven't been any unbiased studies that have actually proven they are 100% safe.
The only studies that I am aware of which have been done on them and "prove" they are safe end up leading back to funding by big pharma.
No one (with a logical brain) is saying they cause autism. No one is saying if you get vaccinated you will definitely become sick and die. However there are aspects to the vaccines which do not seem to be safe and it is the duty of any responsible scientist to investigate them and make them safe. But when the entire industry is filled with bribery and general dishonesty, we have a reason to suspect wrongdoing. We're just asking for proof - unbiased proof, that is, that they are actually completely safe as the doctors claim.
Personally, what rings the alarm bells for me, is that there is a FIERCE propaganda campaign against anyone who even so much as questions our right to have an unbiased study on these things being shoved into our bodies. The kind of things that get circlejerked to the front page of Reddit are 90% shill posts, and when you get posts like these from brand new accounts hitting 5000+ upvotes in an hour, calling for anti-vax people to completely ostracized from society... I cannot help but think there is an astroturfing effort by shills to tell us what we're supposed to think, instead of thinking for ourselves. And to me, that's reason enough to suspect wrongdoing.
The propaganda is what rings alarm bells for me as well. I've also seen studies that say vaccines expose infants to 50% more mercury than they would normally experience from age 1-2. The weird thing: the same study calls a 50% increase in yearly mercury exposure an insignificant amount. I don't buy it.
No one is saying the polio vaccine is dangerous. In fact most of them are safe. But when a new vaccine comes out, waiting to make sure there isn't an issue isn't a bad thing.

Nothing can be proven 100% safe. Not even 100% certified free trade gluten free organic free range chia seeds.
However, how many people do you know currently confined to an iron lung?
