Study Linking Autism to Vaccine Retracted

Finally! :goodjob:
 
That article requires a password.

EDIT: Whoops, crosspost.

I am pretty much totally ignorant on this subject, so forgive me, but I was under the impression that that study had been repudiated quite a while ago - is that not the case, or is the Lancet just slow on the uptake?
 
The Lancet was clearly under pressure from their advertisers, big Pharma, to retract the story. It's all part of a diabolical plot to first induce autism, then charge outrages sums to treat it. I dunno about you guys, but I would rather my child be crippled for life from Polio than risk being a sucker to the conspiracy.

Luckily, good ol' homeopathy and natural herbs (NOT co-opped by Western Science or corporations) can cure up a bad case of both polio and autism.
 
A rare public relations victory for science-based medicine.
 
No, clearly, gluten-free diets will cure autism.
 
Disproving a paper is much easier than getting it retracted (without the author's okay, that is). A paper that has disproven science is still welcome in the field: that's how science moves forward! But a retracted paper has an actual error in it.
 
Something I noticed on the BBC site, though.

The regulator only looked at how he acted during the research, not whether the findings were right or wrong - although they have been widely discredited by medical experts across the world in the years since publication.

Also I should mention I don't believe in all this vaccine crap.
 
Excellent news, but the Vaccine-Autism meme will be among us for a long time regardless of this retraction, along with increased cases of mumps, measles, and rubella.

Yeah, who needs this vaccine crap! My Q-Ray will provide all the protection I need. And it does so with magnetism, and since the Earth is also a magnet magnetism is the most natural thing around!
 
I mean I don't believe that vaccines cause autism or have poison in them or whatever.

Yeah but everyone knows that currency as we currently know it will cease to exist in 1-2 years, so they won't be able to charge anything!
 
reminds me of the funny german biologist who claims that viruses (of any kind) are an invention of the global-pharma-conspiracy to trick us into using their 'medicine' :ack:

I'm sure he (and his followers) won't change their mind because of this retraction :)
