Quantum mechanics does not disprove determinism; in fact, it is entirely compatible with an even more rigorous determinism than the one most scientists subscribe to - 'superdeterminism'.
Superdeterminism
Notice that even scientific research presupposes a certain kind of non-deterministic free will in the experimenter, who must be free to choose which experiment to conduct. Without that freedom to choose, science itself becomes unfalsifiable.
In fact, it's possible that superdeterminism is the only reason why the universe appears to be a self-consistent and orderly place. It just appears that way to us because we have no freedom to choose to observe otherwise.
