The scientific community disagrees at times, true. However, when we disagree, we have numbers to prove our stance, backed up by statistical analysis. The better numbers win. That's the rule.
In the case of research surrounding the safety of vaccinations, the cause/relationship between the two has not been proven. There are multiple studies to prove this. Now what about those parents whose children were vaccinated and were later found to be autistic?
Well, in science we have a golden rule- correlation does not equate causation. Just because two things happen at once doesn't mean one caused the other. Same thing here.
Just to get you started, here are some recent studies refuting the cause/effect relationship:
and even one from 2004: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20669467
A quick Pubmed search will give you a longer list of published research that did not find that vaccines were linked to autism.
Worth noting is that the original study that linked the two had only 12 subjects. Since then, it has been marked as fraudulent. In addition, countless studies have been carried out to replicate this finding, and as you can see, were not very successful.
