Do these 30 papers demonstrate vaccines can cause autism? -- Introduction

There are various lists of papers being proposed as "demonstrating vaccines can cause autism".  Over the next week, I will be posting individual analyses of each of the papers. I hope to do them in numbered order from the most recent version of the list I have seen, and publish a summary at the end.  Evidently the list started off in February of 2007 as a list of eight, and by June 2007 had grown to thirty or so.
