As it happens, in this case, the "study" was literally funded by a corrupt lawyer called Richard Barr, who realised how much lawsuit money there would be to be made if it turned out vaccines did cause autism, so he basically hired Andrew Wakefield to do a bullshit study that could be used as evidence if it ever went to court. If you haven't seen Hbomberguy's excellent video on the topic yet then you should absolutely check it out.

It started before that with Wakefield. Wakefield had claimed other vaccines caused various serious illnesses/injuries. Why? In each and every case,‘he held a patent for another version of the vaccine he was against. He claimed MMR took “too many doses”, because he had an MMR vaccine that required less doses. Guy has been grifting for decades and found a very lucrative grift with these people.
