The original claim was that thimerosal did this, but it was removed from vaccines for kids in 2001 and the rates of autism diagnoses have not decreased as a result.
There is also no actual evidence that adjuvants have caused autism as far as I know, and the entire idea that vaccines cause autism was based on a fraudulent paper by someone who was trying to sell his own competing vaccine.
It’s specifically about the aluminium used as adjuvant which is considered as a culprit. They found more aluminium in the brains of autistic people[0] and I was reading something about how the aluminium adjuvants crossed the brain blood barrier quite quick.
There is for example the concept of aspiration when applying vaccines to not accidentally inject into the blood stream. A mistake here on a small human is literally injecting aluminium into his bloodstream which goes to his brain and deposits there.
Anyway more studies on something crucial as vaccine damage should always be welcomed, but the choice of personnel, yea doesn’t look convincing to say the least. On the other hand we have enough big pharma studies showing how great their products are and if the study is build up well I’ll take it.

There were plenty of studies. This one is fairly settled. What is also settled is 1:1000 mortality of measles.
