In fairness, that initial fraudulent study was all over the media, and it did appear to show a real link between MMR and autism. Of course it did, he was faking the figures with intent to deceive. The media and public reaction was, initially, entirely understandable. Particularly where few remember how bad measles and the rest can affect the unvaccinated. It necessarily took time to disprove and strike-off Andrew Wakefield. What I fail to comprehend is that now he's no longer allowed to call himself Dr, he is permitted to spread his lies in the US. Somehow he has managed to become and remain something of a personality doing so.
