"Evidence" doesn't just mean "a study exists that supports this claim", though. It'd be nice if that was the case, but the quality of studies does actually matter. Do we have "evidence" that the MMR vaccine causes autism based on Wakefield's study? No, because we don't accept the validity of the study.
