> Are there any vaccines in history that have caused something unexpected 10 years from injection?

Yes [1]

*EDIT* - People are being pedantic saying it's not a vaccine while technically true it was a government approved medication that had horrific side effects discovered after approval. This is why people are wary about taking a vaccine still under approval as 'emergency use'. And also ridiculous to force employees back into an office and also require them to be injected with something they may not wish to. Just let them work from home if they choose to not get vaccinated with am emergency approval drug.

Thalidomide was a terrible medical scandal, but it's not a vaccine. Secondly it didn't cause something unexpected 10 years from injection, it had a side-effect if you were pregnant while taking it.
Huh, that's not a vaccine and where's the evidence it had unexpected effects 10 years after administration?
Thalidomide isn't a vaccine.
BTW, thalidomide is still prescribed, it's a very effective drug.
Not a vaccine.
