You (and the other parents) are committing a very basic error in reasoning in thinking correlation equals causation.
Event A happens, then event B happens. That's correlation. The flaw is thinking that just because B followed A, A caused B. It's flawed reasoning and drawing a conclusion on it (as you and these parents have done) is incorrect.
Children start to exhibit behaviours from autism around the same age as they receive a round of vaccines. It makes as much sense to say potty-training causes autism.
Evidence? Sounds like something made up just to sound scary and appeal to people's sense of freedom.
And even if it were true, so? If a doctor advocated using leeches, or talked about the four humors, or wanted to do some blood letting should they have their license taken away? Is it terrible to censure a doctor who speaks out against the germ theory of disease?
