Doctor Behind Autism-Vaccine Link Study Accused of 'Deliberate Fraud'

WEDNESDAY, Jan. 5 -- An in-depth investigation just published in a prominent

medical journal alleges that a decade-long effort to link childhood vaccinations

with autism was really an elaborate hoax perpetuated by a British doctor who has

since been banned from practicing medicine in that country.

The doctor's original research, first published in 1998, turned many parents

away from immunizing their children, which some experts now link to recent

outbreaks of illnesses that had once been well under control.

" The MMR [measles-mumps-rubella vaccine] scare was based not on bad science but

on a deliberate fraud, " Dr. Fiona Godlee, editor-in-chief of the BMJ, which

published details of the new investigation on Jan. 5, said in a statement. " Such

clear evidence of falsification of data should now close the door on this

damaging vaccine scare. " . . . .
