That faux "investigative reporter" Brian Deer was exposed as a fraud [ who was paid & hired by the pharmaceutical industry to author that despicable hit piece ] who deliberately misrepresented himself & Dr. Andrew Wakefield. Please I urge everyone to read up about this right here at this informative link. The left wing press is covering up the truth about vaccines since they get a lot of sponsoring by the vaccine industry and are thus corrupt and certainly not honest brokers of information. The studies that Dr. Wakefield conducted were found to be RIGHT years earlier & also since his findings. Whenever the press claims that Dr. Wakefield was "debunked" or "discredited" they never or rarely ever tell who WHO did the so called "debunking" as they never investigate just who ran the hit pieces against Dr. Wakefield. Wakefield for his part has pressed a defamation suit against that lying little punk "Deer" for his willful lies & defamation. Wakefield partner in the studies was EXONERATED earlier & so too will Wakefield in time. The MMR vaccine is not safe contrary to the paid hacks of the press might assert.

"After speaking to Olmsted, I looked up some of the claims he made during the course of our interview, particularly places where he cited a specific study that I was unfamiliar with. Here is what I found.

Olmsted said the CDC tried to suppress findings from researcher William Thompson supposedly linking vaccines to autism. Snopes previously deemed this claim false, and the blog Respectful Insolence found the assertion cherry-picks a small subgroup in a study that overall found no link between vaccines and autism. Many studies , including the comprehensive Institute of Medicine review from 2011, have also come out since the original study in question showing no connection between vaccines and autism.

Another study cited by Olmsted supposedly found a link between thimerasol, a mercury compound no longer included in most childhood vaccines, and autism. But as Emily Willingham at Forbes explains, this study — a multi-phase study — ended by finding no link between thimerasol and autism. Even so, it's become the center of many conspiracy theories, most of which seem to center around confusion over how to interpret multi-phase studies."
