      Disgraced, former Doctor, Andrew Wakefield originally did the report that the MMR vaccine had numerous issues.

      He would go on to say that it is better to get the vaccines separately.

      It would later be found that he was making 10s of millions selling test kits.

      The link between autism and the MMR vaccine wasn’t even direct. It was claimed that the MMR vaccine caused bowel inflammation, which then caused autism.

      Real wackadoo science. Not sure how anyone believed it. We are seeing something similar with the aluminum causes cancer and dementia crowd.

        Ok, just so you know, you’re original comment came across as defending Wakefield. That’s why you’re getting downvoted.

      False information. Specially the kind the other person wants to believe in.
