Are there any actual studies on this? Neutral or otherwise?
After a bit of googling I realize I had part of that wrong. The belief is that the vaccines can cause autism not Downs syndrome. What I was right about is that it was a British doctor (Andrew Wakefield) who pretty much singlehandedly caused the hysteria. He wrote an article about it in The Lancet which I guess is the reliable source believers point to. It was revealed to contain falsified information though, and he lost his medical license.
