Finally someone comes out and emphatically says vaccines are not linked to autism

without comments

I tend to put the anti-vaccination crowd up there with the “birthers” and the “truthers.” Now the Lancet gives us the ammunition.

Yesterday, the medical journal the Lancet retracted a 12-year-old paper by Dr. Andrew Wakefield, which helped fan a scare about vaccines and autism.

Now discredited, the report looked at just a dozen children who developed behavioral and intestinal problems. Eight of them had been recently vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella.
