Here's a recent story about the quack who's study 1st linked autism to vaccinations.

"The conclusions of the 1998 paper by Andrew Wakefield and colleagues was renounced by 10 of its 13 authors and later retracted by the medical journal Lancet, where it was published. Still, the suggestion the MMR shot was connected to autism spooked parents worldwide and immunization rates for measles, mumps and rubella have never fully recovered."
It's unfortunate this guy put out this bogus study with basically falsified and/or misleading data.
