But Wakefield diddled the findings of his research. He purposely slanted it to support his premise. He deliberately changed reports from families involved in the study.

He also refused to do another study when he was questioned and asked to do so even by the co-authors of the original paper. Why? Perhaps to protect the legitimacy of the original research?

Another study would shine an investigative light on the original work as conditions, processes, whatever would need to be replicated.
