A few days ago Daily Kos featured a judicial decision which said vaccines do not cause autism.

I challenged these judicial findings with my posts in the comments, stating there has never been a study comparing Fully Vaccinated children to Fully Unvaccinated children.
I received vigorous debate from folks who stated that there were studies. But, their links were all to studies comparing Fully/Partially Vaccinated children to Fully/Partially vaccinated children. Nobody could find a study that fit my description. . .
Well, I just found one, done just last year. But, alas it was on monkeys. And, here is what they said: Read and Weep what we may be doing to our kids.
(I just want to make clear. I am not against vaccines. I am pro getting information. We have never done this most basic of studies. We may decide to modify our vaccine schedule or vaccine technology if we find that we are doing to kids what we appear to be doing to monkeys)
Results: Compared with unexposed animals, significant neurodevelopmental deficits were evident for exposed animals in survival reflexes, tests of color discrimination and reversal, and learning sets. Differences in behaviors were observed between exposed and unexposed animals and within the exposed group before and after MMR vaccination. Compared with unexposed animals, exposed animals showed attenuation of amygdala growth and differences in the amygdala binding of [11C]diprenorphine. Interaction models identified significant associations between specific aberrant social and non-social behaviors, isotope binding, and vaccine exposure.

Oh, Hey. I found one more, but, again monkeys. Again from last year.
“Histopathological examination revealed that vaccinated animals exhibited progressively severe chronic active inflammation, whereas unexposed animals did not. Gene expression comparisons between the groups (vaccinated versus unvaccinated) revealed only 120 genes differentially expressed (fc >1.5; log ratio p<0.001) at 10 weeks, whereas there were 450 genes differentially expressed at 14 weeks, and 324 differentially expressed genes between the 2 groups at necropsy.”</p>
Hmm. Well it is just monkeys. What does that prove?
Well, it is a damn good start, or so says these folks:

Now, let's ask the question again. This time with a survey.
