    The fraudulent 1998 Lancet paper by Wakefield on vaccines & autism - ginned up to help a class action, only retracted in 2010 - has to be in the running for the most harmful scientific publication in human history. Original source of anti-vaxx ideas.https://www.bmj.com/content/342/bmj.c5347.full …

        Yes. The journal clearly learned nothing about conflicts of interest from the Wakefield fiasco.https://twitter.com/JDtheDJ2004/status/1425185323965878274 …

        Wasn't the Lancet also responsible for the original denial of the lab leak hypothesis at the urging of the guy who was paying the lab responsible for the very research? Didn't he get a bunch of friends to sign a letter the Lancet printed which basically shut the door on it?

        Already this disposition had been brewing in France. Seems inevitable to me that as the vaccine schedule grew so quickly for kids that there’d be a pushback.

        Sentiment was out there, but the Lancet played a huge role in validating & mainstreaming it.

        If you went to any meeting of parents of autistic children from around 2009-2015 you could not cite any facts that would convince them that vaccines did not injure their children.

        The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Fund was created in 1986 as a result to 1970s concerns around damage. It has paid out $4.6 billion since then. Vaccine skepticism was around before the Lancet study, but I agree it was the single most harmful thing to vaccine acceptance.
