So, now the verdict is out, what does it actually say?
Background:
As we all know, Wakefield and his colleagues published a case series on autistic children in the Lancet back in 1998. The paper itself was not particularly remarkable and scientifically was rather substandard and barely of publishable merit. However it did mention a possible link between MMR vaccination and autistic enterocolitis, something Wakefield went on to suggest this in much stronger terms in media interviews, implying causality. The rest is history.
