LaCour adviser retracted the artical. - 6WakefieldWakefield, The Lancet claiming that triple-vaccines cause autism. He claimed it should be halted and instead replaced with single vaccines. It was later retracted by the Lancet
Bad science included:
No evidence that single vaccination do any different (he work with a company to patient single vaccinations), did un-necessary medical procedures to children which is unethical, used children who where showing sign of autism and had selected participants, only one of kids had the autism he said it caused, and changed documents such as symptoms and timeline (some had signs of autism before the vaccine). - 7Diedriek StapelWell regarded with PHD from UofAmsterdam.
