This is essentially the death blow to the autism/vaccinnes link that was invented and perpetuated by Andrew Wakefield. The British Medical Journal has determined that Wakefield's research was an orchestrated fraud with direct financial interests as his key motivation behind its design. Though the woo will no doubt continue on, all credibility of its original and chief propagator has been officially obliterated.
Unfortunately I don't think it's the death blow. Too many people want to blame their child's autism on someone or something. There was really enough evidence before this for them to form the correct opinions, and they failed to do so then; they will continue to fail now.
