“Nearly everyone in the U.S. got measles before there was a vaccine, and hundreds died from it each year. Today, most doctors have never seen a case of measles.
More than 15,000 Americans died from diphtheria in 1921, before there was a vaccine. Only two cases of diphtheria have been reported to CDC between 2004 and 2014.
An epidemic of rubella (German measles) in 1964-65 infected 12½ million Americans, killed 2,000 babies, and caused 11,000 miscarriages. Since 2012, 15 cases of rubella were reported to CDC.”
Since these diseases have been eradicated they are not the risk they once were. Now the risk is greater for Autism and other serious adverse reactions to the shots themselves. So any thinking person should say hmmmm why are our children soooo sick now? Is the “disease” of autism worse than say Diptheria, Tetanus and pertussis?
These diseases have not been “eradicated”.
Eradicated
So far, two diseases have been successfully eradicated—one specifically affecting humans (smallpox), and one affecting a wide range of ruminants (rinderpest).

There is no link between Autism and vaccines. I am on the Autism spectrum and I am almost 60. Autism has always existed. But my generation was not allowed to indulge it so we learned to cope. Now parents hand their kid a computer and feed it until it grows. We indulge it now which is why we have so many.
I was not allowed to sit in a corner with a book and rock like I wanted. As a programmer, I work with lots of people just like me.
