jul 12, 1998 - Lakefield, MMR and austism

Description:

The Lancet published a paper from then Dr Andrew Lakefield which shows a correlation between austism and the MMR vaccine. Though the paper was redacted, Lakefield now no longer allowed to practice medicine, and scientists and doctors scrambling to prove that correlation does NOT mean causation, the idea of autism being linked to vaccines was implanted in people's minds.
