Subject: RE: BS: Dr Andrew Wakefield
Its rare that I do Fossil!

Although the thought of parents having doubts about prevention of diseases that should be consigned to the history books is worrying. I have no argument with acorn4 and fully accept that experience brings a sharp focus to your desire to find answers. But the fact remains and quoting from a 1959 BMJ article without referencing more contemporary research in the same journal does seem odd.

The rules for published research in The UK are very draconian and Wakefield flaunted them with disastrous results.
