The study involved 12 children. Without approval from medical ethics boards, Wakefield did lumbar punctures, colonoscopies, and other tests on the children, in violation of rules against unnecessary medical procedures on children. But some anti-vaxxers still support him.

Now more research has been done about autism & vaccines — each time disproving Wakefield — than on other safety issues with vaccines or on effective supports & education strategies for autistic people. All because Andrew Wakefield lied 22 yrs ago, formally confirmed 10 yrs ago.

(And now may my mentions rest in peace , because sharing facts about Wakefield is like holding up a target.)

I also believe that Wakefield’s fraud led to a distrust of science that has led to climate change deniers and others who reject scientific data in favor of conspiracy or GOP politicians/Fox News talking points, but that’s just my theory.

I had a convo w some anti vaxx friends who moved out of state to avoid vaxxing their kids. When I mentioned a student of mine who was impacted by rubella in utero, I was dismissed for my “beliefs”. There isn’t enough proof in this world to move anti vaxxers.

I had a friend with a hearing impairment due to rubella in utero. She was born in the days before there was a vaccine. I once had a boss who used a wheelchair due to childhood polio pre-vaccine. I feel lucky to be part of the generation that appreciated having the vaccines.

The lancet should take some responsibility in this given they published Wakefield in the first place. Terrible attempt at peer review. Shame on Wakefield and shame on the Lancet!
