That was my intent. However I understand that there are some good, peer reviewed, studies which suggest a link between vaccinations and autism. There are more studies which suggest there are no links.
There are no 'good' studies that have ever been published that have demonstrated a link between MMR and autism.
There is no link and there never was. Andrew Wakefield conducted a fraudulent and unethical study using unnecessary invasive procedures on children he paid to take part to garner results that were to be approved by vested interests keen on seeing MMR fail:

Just in case anyone is interested, here is over 100 published research articles discrediting a link between MMR and autism. No, I haven't read them all:
