The supposed association is with the MMR vaccine, and has been proven incorrect. Not that the media care to report that. Also, apparently, the study that got everyone so freaking worked up was on TWELVE kids. Twelve. We'll go on and disregard the hundreds of people involved in dozens of studies all over the world that show that the vaccine has a very low side-effect rate, no association with autism (other than signs start showing about the same time as the kids' vaccine series), and the increased incidence of things that DO hurt people (like, you know, measles and mumps and rubella) since people have stopped using the vaccines.
