Is There Really A Link Between Autism & the MMR Vaccine?

We have a friend who's 5 year old son is autistic.  We've been hearing different theories for years about the causes of autism in particular and most recently the MMR vaccine.  Is there really a link between the two?  The CDC says no.  Many researchers say yes, but this has happened before.  Look at the prescription drug Viox.  That was the largest drug recall in U.S. history.  A pill that was meant to reduce inflammation and swelling actually increased one's chances for heart attack or stroke twofold.   Ooops.

I think more attention would be given to the subject of autism if somehow it could be linked to Viagra.  'Cause god forbid that drug was recalled men would be rioting in the streets.....for their friends of course...."It's not for me aaaahhh my friend Joe has a problem."  Then you'd see some real action in the laboratory.

What do you think?  I'm curious to know.
