> What kind of Democrat is going to vote for someone who believes vaccines cause autism...

Before COVID, I would have guessed the biggest reservoir of anti-vax sentiment was among very liberal Democrats (think the people who are super into yoga, organic food, and naturopathic doctors).

COVID became a culture war issue, which lead to partisan Democrats lining up on the pro-mask, pro-lockdown, pro-vaccine side, but I have no idea if that disrupted the views of existing anti-vax Democrats (of the "vaccines cause autism" variety).
