VACCINE-AUTISM DOCTOR GUILTY OF ‘DISHONESTY AND MISLEADING CONDUCT'

the link between autism and vaccines was a lie...
Andrew Wakefield, the doctor whose research sparked international concern over whether or not childhood vaccines cause autism, was found guilty by a British panel of acting unethically in his research on autism.
Wakefield was the lead author a small-scale 1998 case report involving 12 children that suggested a link between vaccines and the onset of childhood autism. The study was immediately seized upon by anti-vaccination advocates, including Jenny McCarthy, the actress and model. Since then, McCarthy has spearheaded a global anti-vaccine movement, accusing drug companies of ignoring children’s safety.

Unfortunately, that study has since been revealed as flawed (if not outright faked); the paper was retracted, and ten of Wakefield’s co-authors have repudiated the work. According to an ABC News story

“The United Kingdom's General Medical Council (GMC) concluded Jan. 28 that Wakefield participated in ‘dishonesty and misleading conduct’ while he conducted the 1998 research. Most of the findings against Wakefield are breaches of standard ethical codes meant to keep bias out of scientific journals.”
Among the charges, Wakefield was found to have taken blood samples without consent from children at a birthday for his child as part of his research. Ironically, the inquiry also found that Wakefield had failed to disclose that he had a financial interest in a patent for a new measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine he had in development.

Dr. Wakefield’s research has been questioned for years, and the ethics violations are only the latest nail in the coffin for the claim that vaccines cause autism; several large-scale studies have found no evidence of any link. Still, the anti-vaccination movement will march on despite the fact that the only scientific research that supports their position was conducted by a discredited, unethical researcher.

So far, Wakefield’s ethical lapses have only cost him his reputation; he may also end up losing his license to practice medicine. But the real cost is in the millions of dollars of research money wasted trying to confirm his claim. All those wasted years, all those wasted dollars could have been spent on genuine, productive leads generated by ethical researchers. The true cost of Wakefield’s dishonesty may never be known.

lets clarify, the link between certain vaccines and autism was a lie.

plus autism is just one problem of many that can be caused by vaccines,

oh right so millions starving to death in africa is just the way it is?

depleated urainium was used in vietnam, iraq, afghanistan, most probably in pakistan soon and too in yemmen, thats just the way things are?

aspartame being put in sugarfree drinks eventhough its one of the most radioactive compounds on earth, is just there because it makes things taste good without sugar?

fluoride in tap water, just for our teeth?

its not just the way things are grat3, its designed to be.

you know, I grew up with a friend who was also my neighbor, he was deaf, but was not born deaf, and according to his parents, he became deaf after certain vaccinations, I do not recall what was it for though, wish I did... vaccinations' safety have been debated since a whole lot earlier than the 90s though, so that article is pretty suspect.

Sleeping at odd hours can be a factor.. People with low melatonin levels (which the pineal gland in our brain produces in total darkness aka nighttime and sleep) are more at risk for autism

I didnt say anything about vaccinations. I simply mentioned that low melatonin levels can be a factor with people who have autism

I hope you mean in babies and small children. Otherwise all of us who have abused the white powders would have autism instead of bad teeth.

yeah maybe he just forgot to mention it. We had our baby vaccinated at the height of this scare when the playgrounds were awash with hysterical middle class mum's who, after reading a couple of paragraphs in the Daily Mail, were prepared to put their, and the rest of our kids, at risk of potentially fatal diseases. Now rates of measles and mumps are rising in UKPLC-fact

good post GHead

That doctor is guilty of more than just "dishonesty and misleading conduct"...

Well-meaning but misguided people who have believed his bullshit have helped to spread this insanity, which has resulted in the deaths of some people. Stupid conspiracy-theory nutcases who'll believe anything without rigorous proof (and sometimes the less proof the better, it seems) have latched on to this crap with a fervor that is truly terrifying.
