Um, no. There are not. Every "scientifically literate people including PhDs & MDs" who express "serious concerns" about vaccines are not scientifically literate in the relevant sciences, and it shows in the poor quality of their arguments and interpretation of the data. https://twitter.com/MartinCooper222/status/1169274749115088896 …

As for whether the size of this group of "scientifically literate people" is growing, I've yet to see evidence of this. It's the same pathetically small group that it was 15 years ago, when I first started writing in earnest about the antivaccine movement.

Which study? There's already dozens of studies across multiple countries with hundreds of people, each disproving any connection between vaccine and autism. What else do you want?

Yep. It's a hypothesis that's been studied to death and has basically been falsified. Yes, science can never absolutely, 100% prove a negative, such as that vaccines don’t cause autism, but scientists can definitely provide an estimate of the likelihood of a causal relationship.

In the case of vaccines and autism, the scientific evidence is of such a large quantity and quality involving so many children that the failure to find a “signal” suggesting a link between vaccines and autism is evidence sufficiently strong that we can confidently conclude...

... that the likelihood that vaccines cause autism is so tiny as to be, for all practical intents and purposes, zero. To claim otherwise is to stubbornly cling to a discredited hypothesis.
