Gonz, it's not. There is not one single shred of valid published medical evidence linking the two.
And I presume you mean John Walker-Smith? He was struck off for running an unethical medical trial on children and then lying to cover it up. He was fairly fucking lucky not to go prison.

This is like the bit in Hook when the kid's playing baseball and the pirates are yelling "RUN HOME JACK" instead of "HOME RUN JACK", and he starts to realise that Hook isn't really the good guy =S

He ran the trial
that Andrew Wakefield (MMR bullshitter extraordinaire) used to publish his evidence that MMR, autism and bowel diseases were linked in children. Which he made up. Because he was being paid by a company that had a vested interest in selling single vaccines rather than the triple one. Which has since, because the fucking Daily Fail refuse to let the truth stand in the way of a good gossip, resulted in vaccination levels dropping below what is necessary to prevent disease epedemics, and hence the resurgence of mumps and, to my knowledge, at least 3 deaths are directly on their hands.

To be fair to Walker-Smith
he probably thought he was doing the right thing, he didn't gain financially, and he was an old man about to retire anyway. But he still broke the hippocratic oath, acted unethically and lied to try and cover up. I'd prefer, on balance, to not have a doctor who does those things.

Oh good, I'd hate to think he's actually a crook, I don't mind him being a bit senial.
I was 16 when I moved from the kid's ward, so that's a good few years ago.
