The definitive article disproving a link between MMR vaccines and autism was written by Dr William Thompson of CDC in 2004. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1586/14760584.3.1.19 Thompson subsequently became a whistleblower, who told Dr Brian Hooker, in a series of phone calls, that he (Thompson) had been instructed by his CDC boss to omit from the article many cases of autism that would have made a strong statistical case for a link. These conversations were recorded and published, with Thompson's permission, in a book called VACCINE WHISTLEBLOWER.https://www.amazon.com/Vaccine-Whistleblower-Exposing-Autism-Research/dp/1510727302/
To this day, most Americans believe that the link between vaccination and autism has been "rebuked", but in fact the evidence is strong, and strongly suppressed.
The movie VAXXED tells this story from the perspective of Andrew Wakefield who first reported that his juvenile patients were having digestive issues, then lapsing into autism after vaccination. Wakefield payed for his honesty by seeing his peer-reviewed article deleted and his medical license revoked. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5562652/
