Looks like Andrew Wakefield will probably lose his license--as he should. I feel nothing but contempt for the man for the pain and suffering that he has put autistic individuals through because of his quackery.
And, now, The Lancet has finally retracted Wakefield's 1998 article that made the supposed connections between autism and the MMR vaccine. Again, 'bout time.
If you're interested in sound, scholarly research that discredits any connection between autism spectrum disorders and MMR vaccinations or mercury, check out Paul Offit's book, Autism's False Prophets. As a rhetorician, Offit's book is such an excellent example of logical analysis that I can't recommend it enough.
