It's a shame. You would think this kind of information, all scientific studies would be freely accessible.

Ranger, we are in the "golden age of information" with trends like "open access journals" like
@PLOSONE or@SAGE's Advance. There is more FREELY available science than ever before. Try Google Scholar and you'll see many have links to full-text, often at@ResearchGate2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

of course, instead of complaining the information was not accessible, he could have just looked for another source of information. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/05/03/526595475/understanding-the-history-behind-communities-vaccine-fears …

Of course, this doesn't line up with your other article. As for complaining, it's a reasonable desire.

not sure what does not line up. Wakefield went there and spread misinformation among a vulnerable population. as for complaining, use your googles.

I commented in the other place you posted this. But okay, vax rates dropped by 20% before Wakefield even showed up. He didn't help the issue. If he hadn't arrived and the trend had been constant, it would have continued to drop. You brought the incomplete article.

Widespread misinformation after the '98 Lancet paper

No. The idea was already in circulation before the Lancet paper. Wakefield popularized the idea; he propagated it, disseminated it. But it was a thing before the 1998 Lancet paper.

Correct. A barrister seeking to sue vaccine manufacturers for the MMR supposedly causing autism paid Wakefield a crapton of money to do "research" to "prove" a link.
