If vaccines work, why does the US have a court specifically for when vaccines don't work?

https://www.hrsa.gov/sites/default/files/hrsa/vaccine-compensation/data/data-statistics-report.pdf

According to the CDC, from 2006 to 2018 over 3.7 billion doses of covered vaccines were distributed in the U.S. For petitions filed in this time period, 7,432 petitions were adjudicated by the Court, and of those 5,199 were compensated. This means for every 1 million doses of vaccine that were distributed, approximately 1 individual was compensated. Since 1988, over 22,239 petitions have been filed with the VICP. Over that 30-year time period, 19,114 petitions have been adjudicated, with 7,542 of those determined to be compensable, while 11,651 were dismissed. Total compensation paid over the life of the program is approximately $4.4 billion.

Why aren’t companies liable for faulty products?

And why is vaccine testing less rigorous than every other pharmaceutical?
