Response to Original message
1. Conflict of interest.
But the study was soon discredited, and 10 of its 13 authors have since renounced its conclusions. The Lancet also said it should not have published the study, saying Wakefield's links to litigation against the manufacturers of the MMR vaccine were a "fatal conflict of interest."

One is only allowed such a conflict if the $$ comes from drug manufacturers. *tsk tsk Dr. Wakefield.

Interesting how they are pursuing these doctors just before major litigation?

Recommended, because this is an important topic. Thanks.
