Dissenting opinions are good. Dissenting opinions are who causes more research to be done, in order to validate or invalidate the claims on each side.

In this case, that research has been done, and the jury is in: vaccines don't give you autism, vaccines save lives.

It's a bit like the climate change debate: 97% of scientists in the field agree that androcentric global warming is happening, but apparently the dissenting 3% get to dictate policy on the matter because not everyone 'agrees'.

Like, I am very much a fan of questioning the biases of science and looking at difference ways of understanding the world and all the jazz as a dyed in the wool lefto pinkie humanities student. But there is a point where you need to say 'to the best of humanity's ability we have shown X to be so', and go with that, and save your Devil's Advocate energy for something that deserves it.
