In 1998, Andrew Wakefield published an article in the journal Lancet that set off a scare that the MMR vaccine was linked with autism.
Even though this study and its findings were later retracted, two of its authors discredited, and it led to Dr. Wakefield losing his medical license, the damage caused by parents fearing vaccines lingered.

The paper was by Wakefield et al, 12 other professionals agreed with the paper and support it to this day.
The “retraction of an interpretation” signed by 10 of those co-authors was obviously coerced out of the 10. But in the
“retraction” it is clear that they support the paper citing other articles which “support and extend” their 1998 paper’s findings. Drug industry propanganda paints this “retraction of an interpretation” as a dispute with Dr Wakefield, but it is not, and it FULLY supports the 1998 paper.
If you actually believe the things you write just research one thing and this will change your mind.
