I want to see proof that the doctor created fraudulent data. I don't believe that for a second. The govt. doesn't like it when you call them out on their vaccines, of course they are going to publicly discredit you.

Nope, it's true.

I see there is an article as proof, but I still don't believe it. He is still claiming that he's telling the truth and they won't let him speak.

He said he would appeal the GMC's decision. "Efforts to discredit and silence me through the GMC process have provided a screen to shield the government from exposure on the MMR vaccine scandal," Dr. Wakefield said, according to the BBC.

That's true, but after some digging I found: "Four years after the publication of the paper, other researchers' results had still failed to reproduce Wakefield's findings or confirm his hypothesis of a relation between childhood gastrointestinal disorders and autism."

It's like the guy who said subliminal messages work, he made a load of his research up to prove his point.

Yeah, I'm skimming through an hour long interview on him now. It seems that you're correct, he's kind of arrogant and nutty too. It's nice to know other researchers followed up on it just to be sure. Hopefully, even if it wasn't true, it lead organizations to look into the long term effects of vaccines because they aren't carefully regulated.

Yeah, it actually caused a huge health scare in the UK. It's even in science text books and everything.

Normally when scientists produce statements like that there are people who run the same test, so there are some people at fault that it caused such a scare. Normally with such a sweeping statement there would be those who would examine the correlation before it was released - but somehow it sipped through.

I think also with looking into the effects of vaccines, reports like the correlation between the vaccine and autism should be seriously scrutinized in future.
