He didn't even say that vaccine caused it. Just MMR because he had interest in a competing vaccine that he was trying replace MMR.

So the people who are claiming that people who support vaccine are "Big Pharma" shills are literally repeating what a pharma shill said

His theory was that taking all 3 together was the problem whilst simultaneously trying to sell the individual vaccines.

Of course.
"The combined vaccine causes autism. While these 3 vaccines (that cost as much or more as the combined one, each) won't cause autism! Please, don't worry about the fact that I've got a vested financial interest in trying to sell you this snake oil."

Worth noting, childhood vaccines are available on the NHS here. So the standard suite of vaccines is free. Now-Just-Some-Dude Wakefield's "alternative" vaccines wouldn't have met regulatory thresholds and would only have been available privately making them infinity percent more expensive.
