The medical journal Lancet retracts its 1998 study linking autism with mumps vaccine:
Last week, the study’s lead author, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, was found to have acted unethically in conducting the research.
The General Medical Council, which oversees doctors in Britain, said that “there was a biased selection of patients in The Lancet paper” and that his “conduct in this regard was dishonest and irresponsible.”
There seems to be a lot of dishonesty and irresponsibility going on in science these days.
