British Autism Study an "Elaborate Fraud"
January 6, 2011 at 11:36 am
Quote:A now-retracted British study that linked autism to childhood vaccines was an "elaborate fraud" that has done long-lasting damage to public health, a leading medical publication reported Wednesday.

I had a feeling something like this would come out eventually. Take that Jenny McCarthy!
Quote:Godlee said the study shows that of the 12 cases Wakefield examined in his paper, five showed developmental problems before receiving the MMR vaccine and three never had autism.
12 patients? You can do a study like this with only 12 patients as your pool? I'm guessing there was no control group either.

But jenny is a 'true believer' meaning she will continue with her delusion no matter the evidence presented.

I thought the whole MMR = Autism thing was dis proven ages ago.
Shame some parents believed it and avoided the vaccine, putting their children in danger.

Not just their children, for vaccines to be effective fully they need a large take up by the effected population.
