Asses the risk properly.
What are the chances of damage from measles or autism if immunised?
What are the chances of damage from measles or autism if not immunised?
If you're serious about understanding the risk of immunisation you need those numbers.
Another thing, for immunisation to work in protecting the population 95% of that population need to be immunised.
What are the ethics involved in a personal decision to allow everyone else to take whatever risks immunisation may involve while taking advantage of the passive protection it gives the whole population? What if 6% of the population decide to allow everyone else to take those risks for them?
