JamJam writes "The Lancet, a major British medical journal, has
[0]retracted a flawed study linking the measles, mumps, and rubella
vaccine to autism and bowel disease. British surgeon and medical
researcher Andrew Wakefield and his colleagues originally released their
study in 1998. Since then 10 of Wakefield's 13 co-authors have renounced
the study's conclusions and The Lancet has said it should never have
published the research. Wakefield now faces being stripped of his right
to practice medicine in Britain. The vaccine-autism debate should now
end."
