And I cannot let this pass without comment. No, indeed he did falsify information in order to draw the conclusion he desired to draw. A conclusion which has been proven false repeatedly, yet he still leads the charge on this completely misguided and dangerous nonsense from Austin, Texas.I cannot let this pass without comment and in now way am I trying to set off another thread about Autism but:
Andrew Wakefield published a paper saying that he felt there was sufficient evidence to warrant a full study into the potential link. At no point did he say his research positively linked the MMR vaccine to Autism, simply that from stories he heard from his patients and other sources the link needed to be properly researched to either confirm or discount the link.
I am sick of people saying he published false findings and he is a fraud. He was only trying to bring proper attention to a POSSIBLE link.
More info here: Wakefield’s article linking MMR vaccine and autism was fraudulent.
