This study compared a lot of exposure to a little bit of exposure. It only really shows that degree of exposure doesn't affect autism rates, not whether any exposure at all can lead to it. Not that I'm insisting there is a link (or dismissing the benefits of vaccines), but this doesn't necessarily disprove it.

And there are still a lot of unknowns with GMO's, with the real issue being no way to contain them once they're in the wild if a problem does come up down the road.

We are really quick to label things as a "certainty" when we really not all that certain at all. We just found out that the laws of physics may vary depending on where and when you are in the universe.

We need to be very careful with science stuff, unintended consequences and all that.

Questioning a study which purports to show no link, i.e. to prove the negative, is well and good. But where and when has a burden of proof ever been met that there IS such a link? Until that is accomplished, there is zero reason for anyone to act on the assumption that such a link exists.
