The Wall Street Journal, 3 February 2010.

There is a news article on page A8 of the same issue:

"Lancet Retracts Study Tying Vaccine to Autism",

I strongly agree.


One thing about the vaccine scare versus other scares is that the other
scares cost only money, while the vaccine scare has been killing people,
especially children.

It's behind a paywall, but some years ago The New England Journal of
Medicine published an article from The Institute of Medicine that
analyzed all evidence then available and found no connection between
vaccines (with or without mercury) and autism.

Out of the 44 replies in this thread, only a handful were on vaccines
and autism.
