Hmm, this tells me that maybe there should be a religious belief called "Get vaccinated, you dope!"

I mean, this is a logical conclusion of this. You can believe God gave us a brain to deal with diseases. And if you don't believe in God, you don't have to take yourself out of the running, you can and should believe in freedom from disease.

Vaccines work. Science is based on provable facts. Vaccines work no matter how many people believe or don't believe in them.
The autism link was dis-proven long ago.
In fact, the doctor (Wakefield) who did the study showing a link between vaccines and autism was convicted of faking the data. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3136032/
