I know some people may hate Penn Jillette, but I really liked his take on it from his and Teller's show, BULLSHIT. Basically, they said, let's say it does, vaccines cause all cases of autism. It doesn't matter. The cases of autism are far, far outnumbered by the people saved by vaccines. So even if it were true, it's still a better outcome than an iron lung or death. They absolutely don't, but if they did, it wouldn't change the fact that we're better off vaccinating than not.

the whole thing hinges on autism being terrible anyways, they might as well be saying that vaccines make you black for how much sense it makes.

Who gives a shit if something magically makes you autistic? Shitloads of people go their entire life without anyone realizing they're autistic.
