Get ready for this myth to continue
into perpetuity anyway:
A now-retracted British study that linked autism to childhood vaccines was an "elaborate fraud" that has done long-lasting damage to public health, a leading medical publication reported Wednesday.
An investigation published by the British medical journal BMJ concludes the study's author, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, misrepresented or altered the medical histories of all 12 of the patients whose cases formed the basis of the 1998 study -- and that there was "no doubt" Wakefield was responsible.

If only Wakefield's "elaborate fraud" had been a corporate moneymaker, conservatives would be defending it to their last breath.
The study is as fake as Jennie McCarthy's boobs. Maybe now she'll stop spouting off on the subject.
Yeah, I know, wishful thinking.
