Swept up in the Wake - 16 years of vaccine hysteria
6In 1998, Andrew Wakefield lied to the world and started a revolution. To this day, parents everywhere are scared to vaccinate their children for fear of something that WILL NOT HAPPEN. You may disagree with what I say here, but the science does not lie, unlike Wakefield.
Some of the sources for the information are in pay-for journals, that are difficult to access without university/hospital/tech/etc. credentials. That said, (FREE) next to them indicates full access without any special permission required. Here they are and more:

Thank you again for your time and attention here and again, PLEASE, regardless of your decision in this matter, do the research! Find the actual, original research articles and try to understand FOR YOURSELF what they mean! Do your best not to rely solely on the interpretation of others (be it blogs, newscasts, anti-vax foundations, and yes, even yours truly)!
Again, I gladly welcome any and all discussion, but please be polite and constructive. I know going in that it's a messy situation, let's not make it any worse than it already is.
