Has anyone ever provided even a scintilla of reliable scientific evidence linking vaccination and autism?
No.

Well, that is not exactly true. A hypothesis published in the late 1990's had it that the MMR vaccine may cause autism.

However, follow up studies were not supportive. Fast forward 15yrs, and obviously we now have substantial evidence discounting a causal relationship between the MMR and Autism.

Unfortunately, the public lumps that fact under other headings of "scientific consensus" and "preponderance of evidence." In a scenario where Anthropogenic Global Warming is being foisted by "Scientists" on to the community as supposed Scientific Fact, I cannot blame the lay public for a bit of general skepticism directed at more legitimate findings.
