I am not a biochemist so take this with a spoonful of salt. Some things might be a bit more black/white, like how lactose intolerance people process lactose, but we know smoking can cause cancer and yet not everyone who smokes gets cancer. Usually things just increase your risk of something happening. Anything happening in 80+% of people would be extremely bad and likely very obvious over time.
If vaccines cause any increase in autism rate, it's very low. Those types of things are very difficult to track down as a result.
