Why did it take so long for the top medical journal is the UK, the Lancet, to withdraw an article by Dr. Wakefield?  Dr Wakefield, a bowel specialist,  suggested a link between MMR Vaccination and autism.  The original study was published in the Lancet in 1998.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Top five facts about the Lancet article and the Wakefield Study:<\/span><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. the Wakefield investigation could not be repeated.  A valid science study must be able to be repeated.<\/li>\n
  2. the study involved only 12 subjects.  While this might be fine if it was an early stage investigation, twelve is too small a sample to conclude that the MMR vaccination causes autism.  Twelve as a sample size is too small to be statistically valid.<\/li>\n
  3. Eight (8) of the 12 mothers in the study suggested that Autism developed 2 weeks after their child was vaccination.  In fact the test subjects were exhibiting autism traits 24 months before the MMR vaccination was given.<\/li>\n
  4. Dr. Wakefield contacted the 12 subjects two years before he did his investigation and recruited these families to participate in his “research”.  <\/li>\n
  5. Dr. Wakefield was paid by lawyers to promote the MMR Vaccination scare.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
