Vaccines cause Autism "doctor" faked his data.
Why am I not surprised?

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised. This is the same guy who was paid more than £400,000 by lawyers to help them prove the MMR vaccine was unsafe. These lovely lawyers spent £3.4m buying support from doctors and scientists to help them in a lawsuit against vaccine manufacturers.* Even though his small study of 12 children should not have influenced any intelligent person, Wakefield is credited with starting the scare over the safety of the MMR vaccine for children. Now we find that he changed and misreported results in his research to create the appearance of a possible link with autism.

1. Well, natch!
The conspiracy theorists don't let truth influence their nutcase ideas. What fun would that be?

2. So...
Where are the "vaccines cause autism" advocates here?

Too dumb to admit their guru LIED?

4. They're claiming it's a big pharma conspiracy to assassinate his character.
