Recognized authorities? Is that why the BMJ said it was embarrassed that
it
publi****ed a poor-quality article by Wakefield.
Didn't Wakefield have to flee England for Florida because he lost his
academic postition in Florida?

Actually, the re****t doesn't deserve much attention. It is a re****t of
three
cases. Big deal. How about a whole consecutive series of cases?

There have already been several serious reviews as well as
epidemiological
studies. They all concluded that MMR and other vaccines DO NOT cause
autism.
