Journal Retracts 1998 Paper Linking Autism to Vaccines



Journal Retracts 1998 Paper Linking Autism to Vaccines
By GARDINER HARRIS
Published: February 2, 2010
New York Times <http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/03/health/research/03lancet.html>


A prominent British medical journal on Tuesday retracted a 1998 research paper that set off a sharp decline in vaccinations in Britain after the papers lead author suggested that vaccines could cause autism.

The retraction by The Lancet is part of a reassessment that has lasted for years of the scientific methods and financial conflicts of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, who contended that his research showed that the combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine may be unsafe.

But the retraction may do little to tarnish Dr. Wakefields reputation among parents groups in the United States. Despite a wealth of scientific studies that have failed to find any link between vaccines and autism, the parents fervently believe that their childrens mental problems resulted from vaccinations.

Tom Skinner, a spokesman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, called the retraction of Dr. Wakefields study significant.

It builds on the overwhelming body of research by the worlds leading scientists that concludes there is no link between M.M.R. vaccine and autism, Mr. Skinner wrote in an e-mail message.

A British medical panel concluded last week that Dr. Wakefield had been dishonest, violated basic research ethics rules and showed a callous disregard for the suffering of children involved in his research. Dr. Richard Horton, editor in chief of The Lancet, said that until that decision, he had no proof that Dr. Wakefields 1998 paper was deceptive.
