I totally agree with you.
That is, until my son was born, and people started sharing horror stories for both sides of the argument.
As a father, some other part of me kicked in that wasn't very logical. This is much harder decision than it seems.
My mother in law shared with me her first-hand experience of 'watching-the-lights-go-out' in a healthy 3-year old minutes after she was vaccinated. It's not autism, and it's anecdotal evidence, but it made me dig deeper, and doubt any certainty on either sides.
Studies are NOT conclusive. Dozens of studies where done defending the use of mercury in amalgam fillings for example, and just now the dentist community is coming around to admitting that it does negatively impact patients' health. Years after many people were saying that, and were called naysayers.
I didn't vaccinate my son. It wasn't an easy decision. And I'm not certain of it. He will receive a shorter list of vaccines, on a longer less-stressful schedule than the one recommended by the govt.
Anybody who assumes certainty for either side of this argument hasn't given this enough thought imho
