Wakefield's research paper was retracted by Lancet

"In particular, the claims in the original paper that children were ‘consecutively referred’ and that investigations were ‘approved’ by the local ethics committee have been proven to be false. Therefore we fully retract this paper from the published record."

That is Wakefield had fudged his data to get the findings he wanted.

But it gets worse.

Wakefield’s article linking MMR vaccine and autism was likely fraudulent

"Who perpetrated this fraud? There is no doubt that it was Wakefield. Is it possible that he was wrong, but not dishonest: that he was so incompetent that he was unable to fairly describe the project, or to report even one of the 12 children’s cases accurately? No. A great deal of thought and effort must have gone into drafting the paper to achieve the results he wanted: the discrepancies all led in one direction; misreporting was gross. Moreover, although the scale of the GMC’s 217 day hearing precluded additional charges focused directly on the fraud, the panel found him guilty of dishonesty concerning the study’s admissions criteria, its funding by the Legal Aid Board, and his statements about it afterwards."

Between 1980 and 2003 they used thermasol, a preservative which contains Mercury. Mercury is highly toxic and attacks the nervous system..

In the early 80's they removed MMR vaccines because the Mumps strain was causing Meningitis. As Wakefield notes why have the courts on many occasions awarded victims of Autism compensation on the grounds causation by vaccines yet our Govts deny this association.

Wakefield is sticking by his guns and the British Govt has gagged him and no media will hear his case.

Foyle when big Pharma and Govts unite,the truth comes a poor second.

When getting vaccinated make sure you know exactly what's in the needle.

Arjay,

"....why have the courts on many occasions awarded victims of Autism compensation on the grounds of causation by vaccines...."

Which courts?

Where?

When?

Who?

I presume you've got some evidence for that statement?

The answer Arjay is they haven't. The Office of the Special Masters in the US (sometimes referred to as the vaccine court) has awarded exactly 1 lot of compenstaion out of more than 5000 claims of autisms supposedly caused by vaccines. That was the case of Hannah Poling. This young girl had a mitochondrial disorder that was inevitably going to result in an autism-like condition.

Which is also wrong. Wakefield left the UK voluntarily and went to the US. He frequently still gets in the media having only had an op ed published in one of the UK newspapers (The Independent) a few weeks ago. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/full-statement-by-mmr-scare-doctor-andrew-wakefield-the-government-has-tried-to-cover-up-putting-price-before-childrens-health-8570596.html

Rubbish Arjay, I have personally met 3 families who didn't vaccinate their first child because of crackpots spreading rumours about vaccines, and their eldest children developed autism.

They certainly vaccinated their second children...

Good evening folks...

We had all our kids vaccinated, and so have our grandchildren received the full suite of recommended vaccines too. I think there's always some measured risk in anything that you artificially introduce into your body ? And as parents we must weigh-up those risks, against the information and recommendations we receive, from Doctors in whose care we trust the health and welfare of our precious little infants.

When I was serving overseas with the military back in the middle sixties, I witnessed first hand some of the dreadful diseases and fevers that stuck down many Vietnamese kiddies, who perished simply because there was insufficient medical assistance available. Or because of some well founded superstition or ignorance, that failed to allay many of the fears their Mum might have. Of submitting their babies to this 'pressurised' form of (suspicious), 'Western' initiated Vaccination ?

That's why I'm so amazed in 2013, to hear that many, well informed educated mums, are NOT having their Bubs receive any of their recommended 'jabs' ? The risk of what you might contract as a result of NOT being adequately vaccinated, far outweighs all these other terrible things, that new medical studies are apparently proclaiming ! I think the more education we receive, the sillier we seem to have become !
