As long as it's peer reviewed, this is fine. If they want to try and pass off faulty research as if it were valid, then all they're going to do is embarrass themselves.
No, they'll also set government policy that kills people.
FTFY.
The original study that said there might be a connection, was originally published in the lancet. It was later retracted, after years, but the damage was done.
which… the study looked at like a dozen autistic kids and found they had all gotten vaccines.
They all, also probably had all worn clothes. You don’t see people saying “clothes cause autism!”, though. Or you know, breathed air. Drank water. Played outside in the sunshine. I’m sure there’s more.
I'm going with 5G towers. That makes the most sense. /s

jenny mccarthy is one of the people that jumpstarted the movement among white middle aged moms, and then it branched off from there. i noticed they branched off into the cult of believing "chronic lyme" exists too.
Peer reviewed? Where are they going to find enough brainworm victims to be considered peers?
