Evil Empire Seeks to Punish Autism Expert

Dr. Andrew Wakefield, the physician who published a paper in 1998 showing a link between the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism, is being charged with professional misconduct by the UK’s General Medical Council. While small U.S. studies have found a similar link between MMR and autism, major studies have not proven the link. Nonetheless, after Wakefield’s paper was published, MMR immunization rates fell (but have since picked up). The paper was originally published in The Lancet, but was later removed.
