The problem is, this leap to assume that because something happened before something else that something must have caused that something else can mislead very easily. Parents assume that because they noticed signs of autism within days of a vaccine the vaccine must have caused it

And because humans are hardwired to assume causation from correlation, it is very, very, very hard to convince parents who've decided that vaccines caused their child's autism that it's not true, that vaccines didn't cause it. No science will override an emotion-laden experience.
