Medical journal: Study linking autism, vaccines is 'elaborate fraud' - CNN.com
Personally, I have to think this Wakefield guy is a fraud. I understand that pharmaceutical companies have a lot of money at stake, but I find it hard to imagine a huge industry-wide cover up of a link between autism and vaccines. Whereas I find it much easier to imagine a single person being able to lie convincingly for a large sum of money. The fact that nobody else has been able to reproduce his results just clinches it for me.
