British Medical Journal claims famous autism study flawed, wrong

PHOENIX - Parents worldwide are dealing with the news that a well-known autism study may have never been true.

British Medical Journal reporter Brian Deer has uncovered information that suggests a study done in 1998 by British Surgeon Andrew Wakefield is deeply flawed.

In 1998, Wakefield published a study that suggested there may be a link between the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and autism. Early last year, the British medical journal Lancet retracted the study, as many of its co-authors had done the same.
