The doctor behind the MMR scare is to be charged
One of the great villains of medical history, who has done significant damage to public health with his false MMR-autism claims:The editor admitted he would not have published the 1998 paper if he had known about what he called a "fatal conflict of interest".
Mr Wakefield was being paid to see if there was any evidence to support possible legal action by a group of parents who claimed their children were damaged by the vaccine. Some children were involved in both studies.

This was long overdue. He should be forced to immunize children until the gap he contributed to is closed. Or perhaps he should be forced to pay for the costs of all of the MMR/autism reports in response to his clearly crooked work.
Eight years after TheLancet published Wakefield's study. Such global scare he caused, too late for those children who missed their MMR jabs.
