Autism is not relevant to the discussion of the efficacy of vaccines
Autism/Asperger’s was first diagnosed in 1908.
The first routinely used vaccine was in the 1920s

in 1981 they formally recognized Asperger’s as a disorder and started educating psychologists and therapists on what it was. The more you educate the more people get diagnosed with the disorder.
In 2013 they grouped, ADD/ADHD, OCD, Asperger’s, Autism, into Autism Spectrum Disorder. Individually these disorders did not have enough people impacted to warrant government funding. Grouping them together increased the number so they could get funding. Further increasing the number of people with “autism”
