It's mostly completely conspiracy theory nonsense. The Wakefield study has been so discredited that it's an indictment against the Lancet that they even allowed it to be published at all.
Not only has the Wakefield study been discredited, The Lancet retracted Wakefield's article, and Wakefield's medical license has been revoked.
