Wakefield Linked MMR Vaccines to Other Diseases

Author: mom_to_one, 06 02nd, 2010

Over the last several weeks, autism news headlines have been by Dr. Wakefield—from the retraction of his highly influential paper linking autism and MMR, to the revocation of his license by the U.K. medical register. Due to unethical practices, including drawing blood from children at a birthday party and other invasive procedures, Wakefield has been largely discredited in the medical community. However, several people still espouse his controversial views.

Wakefield’s vendetta against MMR vaccines began in 1989, when he put forth several theories linking the vaccine with various disorders. Since then, all of these claims have been disproven by other medical sources. Originally, Wakefield had tried to show a correlation between the vaccines and Crohn’s disease, but to no available. In the years following the publication of his autism study, there has been a resurgence of measles in the U.K.—going from 56 in 1998 to 1,300 in 2008—and around the world.
