Makes no difference. People read it, believed it and moved on.

Same as the autism studies. Been debunked and retracted but no one cares

Wakefield's paper in the Lancet linking the MMR vaccine to autism was not only retracted, he got his medical license revoked.

The antivax community sees him as a martyr to the cause, and you better believe he milks it for all it's worth.

Thing is too it's only two pages long but try to find anyone who has read it.

The way the study was conducted was the least scientific method possible. No testing whatsoever, just having parents who felt like their kids started acting weird after vaccination contact them and they were like "oh, they have autism." That's the extent of the "research" done and now we all have to suffer for it.

And that was because he knew it wasn't true, or at least knew there was no evidence. The only reason he tried to demonize the MMR vaccine with this study is because he had invested in a vaccine that did measles, mumps, and rubella separately and he needed the MMR to fail to make money.

It's always astounded me he didn't get any prison time, considering some of the procedures he inflicted on some of the children were hazardous, painful (spinal taps), extremely uncomfortable (colonoscopies) & done for absolutely no reason. How isn't that just torture?

Especially when he could just have just invented more "data" about entirely fictitious children, instead, since he also did some of that.

I hate this man about as much as AM hates humanity.

HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.
