Document Summary
A correlation between two subject matters is easy to speculate and theorize about but doesn"t necessarily signify causation. Today"s anti-vaccine groups are mostly conducted of fearful parents that were misinformed by andrew wake eld"s article that was released on. There has been several studies that disprove the correlation created by wake eld between measles, mumps, and rebulla (mmr) vaccine and autism spectrum disorders (asd). Finally the history of asd before mmr vaccinations continues to prove the lack of facts and credibility that wake eld"s hypothesis holds. The paper was entitled iieal-lymphoid-nodular hyperplasia, non-speci c colitis, and pervasive developmental disorder in children by wake eld and 12 other individuals(1998). 2010 the paper was retracted by the lancet due to his guilty charge by the general medical. Council for false and open disregard for ethics protocol. The study had several crucial aws in it starting with it"s small data sample.
