Just a reminder for the younger generation: Andrew Wakefield cooked up this whole mess in 1998 with study on a claimed link between MMR vaccination and autism. The study proved to be fraudulent and was retracted by the Lancet in 2010 and he was struck off the medical register. Nota bene: He wasn't against vaccination in general but suggested that the MMR should be split up into three separate jabs and he actually had a patent on separate jabs. Wikipedia is a good starting point to read up on the whole topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMR_vaccine_and_autism
