  I think that's an "it depends"; can any vaccine cause terrible side effects in a few people, possibly including autism? Yes, certainly, the FDA et. al. know some who take them will even die. The thesis that's fraudulent is "MMR frequently causes autism", or rather, it was very convincingly demonstrated that the researcher committed fraud not to mention serious ethical violations; Wikipedia does a generally good job of covering it, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMR_vaccine_controversy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMR_vaccine_controversy. Except I would add that I don't respect The Lancet, it's notorious for publishing a bunch of bogus studies. And if the thesis was valid, by now you'd expect it to have been confirmed by others.
