The medical journal Lancet has now withdrawn the published study from 1998 from Dr. Wakefield that reported a link between autism and vaccines. Dr. Wakefield has been largely discredited. Retractions of this kind are apparently very rare events. This news represents a shocking development for many families who have made many significant changes in their lives based upon this report from avoiding vaccines to painful therapies like chelation. Parents need to examine this new finding from Lancet and consider with their health care providers as to what are the responsible next steps.
