New study finds no link between 'too many vaccines' and autism

54. May I also point out Wakefield was found to have committed fraud

From Wikipedia

On 28 January 2010, a five-member statutory tribunal of the GMC found three dozen charges proved, including four counts of dishonesty and 12 counts involving the abuse of developmentally challenged children.[9] The panel ruled that Wakefield had "failed in his duties as a responsible consultant", acted both against the interests of his patients, and "dishonestly and irresponsibly" in his published research.[10][11][12] The Lancet immediately and fully retracted his 1998 publication on the basis of the GMC’s findings, noting that elements of the manuscript had been falsified.[13] Wakefield was struck off the Medical Register in May 2010, with a statement identifying dishonest falsification in The Lancet research,[14] and is barred from practising medicine in the UK.[15]

IMHO, by lying and deliberately manipulating his findings his actions led to the death and disability of many children he is guilty of a serious crime (possibly crimes against humanity) and should be tried in a criminal court. IMHO, his behaviour was reckless and negligent and deserves to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Not simply because his behaviour harmed children but because his actions led to a whole movement against well established public health measures - highly shameful!
