Link between the MMR vaccine and autism

One key argument in this case, is that babies who were previously healthy, normal kids, become autistic after they have had the vaccine. The parents of these babies claim that their babies were 'poisoned', and only became autistic after having the shot. However, many argue that there is absolutely no link between the vaccine and the babies autism. I argue that there is probably a link between the two. Evidence behind this, is many countries around the world have withdrawn the vaccine, and have such low autism rates, as opposed to America, who still has the vaccine, and every one in 150 children are autistic, and 1 in 6 have developmental disorders. Other evidence backing this up is in 1988, 2/3 vaccines released had to be withdrawn due to safety reasons, which shows there is history of unsafe vaccines. In other research, 12 children were given the MMR vaccine, and within days, 8 of them showed signs of behavioural disorders. Also, in March 2008, the Federal Claims court listened to one family and concluded that there was a connection between the vaccine and their autistic child.
In this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIlbmynnSew&feature=related, from 4:25 onwards, is also evidence there is a connection.
Opposing evidence shows results of tests carried out on hundreds of children who have had the vaccine and have not been affected.
