Very convincing. Has solid scientific support for his theories.

Junk science at its worst. Many children will die as a result of this irresponsible propaganda.

The remarkable divergence between the perception of the MMR-autism link in the worlds of science and public opinion is the key to the persistence of the controversy. A few weeks after the Lancet publication, the Medical Research Council brought together leading authorities and invited Wakefield and his colleagues to present their case. The inquiry concluded that there appeared to be no relation between trends in autism and the introduction of MMR, that the supposedly distinctive pattern of bowel inflammation identified by Wakefield was in fact a common and benign condition, and that the causal mechanism was "biologically implausible". From the outset, the scientific consensus was that the Wakefield report didn't prove anything. No paediatrician, paediatric gastroenterologist or autism specialist in the country believes it.

I'm not a big believer in the link between the MMR injection and Autism but for those interested.... Bump.
