What was the study the, wrongly, linked Autism to Vaccines?

Where can I get a copy?

Update:

Lets start here "correlation"

This is a fake statistic. Correlation offically means: mutual relation of two or more things, parts, etc

However this is easily manipulated ie. The Washington post stated that Harry Truman, lost his presidental election. He didn't, but the polls the paper used were by phone, at the time only the wealthy had phones. Therefore the wealthy majority voted against him. The correlation that the paper said was our polls say he lost, he lost.

correlation is also used in drug scare taticks:

All cocaine users started with marijuna, therefore pot is a 'gateway' drug because 100% of all coke heads once smoked pot. That may be true but by calling it a 'gateway' drug and claming their's a.... you guessed a "correlation" between pot to coke the powers to be called pot a gateway drug.

By this same 'correlation' logic, you shouldn't drink milk. Because 100% of all killers, and victims once in their life drink milk. My 'correlation' is true does it make sence?

    Here's a copy:

    http://briandeer.com/mmr/lancet-paper.htm

    That one's free.

    You can get the official copy through the journal Lancet as well, for a price:

    http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/P...

    Edit: Note the patient records do not match the data in the paper. All further studies showed no link whatsoever. Fraud is the only explanation for this discrepancy.

    Edit: Heidi, it's not that hard. Just search Pubmed. There really aren't that many. There is no reputable research supporting that Lancet paper.

    The argued hyperlink between autism and vaccines is purely propaganda made up with the aid of liberals?????! Lord, talk approximately some thing not sponsored up with the aid of any evidence. in any case, I do certainly think of that the evdience exhibiting a hyperlink isn't extraordinarily compelling. i'm not announcing it does not exist. What actual issues me is what share father and mother contend that they observed this type of dramatic distinction of their infants purely following a particular vaccination. i know that's the favored counterargument to declare "properly, autism purely shows up around the comparable age that infants get those pictures," yet I purely have a not hassle-free time procuring that. those father and mother, and that i've got met lots of them, are very sparkling that it substitute right into a quickly, incredibly much in one day distinction.......i know that doesn't consitute stable clinical evidence, yet i purely can't push aside it. My oldest newborn substitute into clinically determined "at-possibility" for autism while she substitute into 17-months previous. And interior the final 5 years, I certainly have heard a pair of million distinctive conceivable motives for autism - vaccines, weight loss application, loss of Omega 3s, antibiotics, yeast infections, pitocin, epidurals, etc..... I placed my palms over my ears an prolonged time in the past at distinctive theories because of the fact it began to in basic terms rigidity me loopy. yet even inspite of the undeniable fact that the vaccine argument has in no way quite moved me, I nonetheless have not had my youngest infants vaccinated for something. My daughter, and my 5-3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous son, have had a pair interior the final couple years, yet we do them one-at-a-time and in basic terms particular ones. further: I completely agree that it is not a democrat vs. republican situation. i'm undecided the place the guy who reported that is all liberal propaganda is getting that impact. purely have the desire to in basic terms remember to found out that I wasn't certainly announcing that's substitute into liberal propraganda.....i'm certainly approximately as liberal as they arrive. somebody else right here reported that....i substitute into purely thoroughly disagreeing.

    Research either shows a correlation and/or significant difference or it doesn't. This research showed a correlation. Thus, the word wrong is not used. The paper was rescinded based upon the concept that the research was not necessary, not on it's findings.

    Source(s): Not that I downloaded them or anything, but I did come across several reports that other studies were done and published that supported the correlation. To say no further studies supported the link is impossible to be true because that would mean you know every study ever made since then, which was several years ago.
