Lancet accepts MMR study 'false'

[whopis01]

Source: BBC News

The medical journal which originally published the discredited research linking autism and MMR has now issued a full retraction of the paper.

It comes after Dr Andrew Wakefield, the lead researcher in the 1998 paper, was ruled last week to have broken research rules by the General Medical Council.

But they accepted that in hindsight they may not have been, after accusations of a conflict of interest - Dr Wakefield was in the pay of solicitors who were acting for parents who believed their children had been harmed by MMR.

But this move goes further by accepting the research was fundamentally flawed because of a lack of ethical approval and the way the children's illnesses were presented.

Wakefield's reaction
Wakefield continues to defend his work and now works at Thoughtful House, a treatment centre for children with developmental disorders, in Austin, Texas.

"The allegations against me and against my colleagues are both unfounded and unjust, and I invite anyone to examine the contents of these proceedings and come to their own conclusion," Wakefield said in a statement provided by Thoughtful House.

The Lancet Retraction Changes Nothing
David Kirby
Dr. Andrew Wakefield is one of the most vilified medical practitioners of recent times, and now he carries the extremely rare dishonor of a retraction in The Lancet, on the paper he coauthored in 1998 suggesting a potential link between autism, bowel disease and Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine.

I believe that the public lynching and shaming of Dr. Wakefield is unwarranted and overwrought, and that history will ultimately judge who was right and who was wrong about proposing a possible association between vaccination and regressive autistic spectrum disorder (ASD).

Wakefield's critics can condemn, retract, decry and de-license all they want, but that does nothing to stop or alter the march of science, which has come a long way over the past 12 years, and especially in the last year or two. The evidence that autism is increasing at alarming rates, and that some thing (or things) in our environment is wreaking havoc on a vulnerable one-percent of all US children is now so irrefutable that, finally, the federal government is climbing aboard the environmental research bandwagon - way late, but better than never.

This long-overdue paradigm shift will leave many in the scientific community with some proverbial but nonetheless uncomfortable egg on their increasingly irrelevant faces: Those who have protested with shrill certainty that autism is almost purely genetic, and not environmental in nature, and therefore not really increasing at all, will hopefully recede from the debate.

And that begs a nagging question: If those people were dead wrong about environmental factors in autism, could they also be mistaken in their equally heated denials about a possible vaccine-autism link? More bluntly, why should we heed them any longer?

Local Mother Speaks out About Autism and the MMR Vaccine
At least 1 in 110 children have autism, and while several factors could be to blame, one local mother is outraged about the ground-breaking article being retracted. She says she knows her son has autism because of the MMR vaccine.

Nancy Jackson says her son, Cole, was a healthy newborn baby. "Nothing was wrong, he was perfect, then, he had his MMR, and the lights went out." She remembers the last sentence Cole spoke at the age of two. "Daddy I need another shoe, or daddy I need a shoe, and that was the last sentence we ever heard him say, because then he had his MMR, and literally from one day to the next he was a different child, and he, the jirations, and the out of world look he had, and the constant stemming, he couldn't sleep, it was a different child, it was watching your child go away from you in front of your eyes but him still be there physically."

"We have a couple of parents that work with our program that have already feel very strongly that the mmr shots have had an impact on their child's life," said Dr. Marty Boman, the director of the Kelly Autism Center in Bowling Green says there's an ongoing dispute over the effect of heavy metal poisoning from immunizations, and autism. "There have been multiple studies on this," said Boman, "a lot of them disproving, a lot of them saying that it's supportive of everything, and it's difficult because everyone of them is using different criteria."

Iowans React To Retracted Study Linking Vaccines To Autism
.....Some Central Iowa parents of autistic children still believe there could be a link between vaccines and autism.

Danielle Sharpe’s son, Spencer, was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3. She wonders what role, if any, vaccines might have played.

Danielle Sharpe said, “I don't know that it caused my son's autism, but I have friends who are confident that their child was vaccinated and starting later that day or the next day it all started going downhill.”

Autism Vaccine Link Refuted; Some Parents Not Convinced
.....Still, many parents like Lisa Rupe are unconvinced. Her son, Kyle, has autism. She's not sure his autism stems from vaccines, but she believes the shots have caused autism in others. She stopped her younger child's vaccinations as a precaution.

Rupe is frustrated by what she sees as a dismissive attitude of scientists toward concerned parents.

"You saw your child slip away right before your eyes. It's not something you can just write off," she says.

Rupe believes the doctors behind the vaccine study are backing off their research because of severe pressure from the medical community and companies that make vaccines. She won't be satisfied until science finally finds the cause of autism and effective treatement.

"Something in our environment is giving our kids autism and we don't know what it is."

Retraction Of Some Research Doesn’t Deter Parent Who Believes In Link Between Vaccine And Autism
The topic of vaccines and autism is always controversial and the retraction on Tuesday of Dr. Andrew Wakefield’s study will likely do little to calm it. Kim Spencer is the parent of an autistic child who also works in a local pediatrician’s office. She doesn’t mince words when she talks about what she believes was the cause of her son’s autism. She lays the blame on a vaccine he was given at the age of two…and nothing that’s happened regarding Dr. Wakefield’s work is going to change her mind.

Her son is 9 years old now and was diagnosed with autism about 7 years ago. Spencer doesn’t believe the Measles/Mumps/Rubella vaccine is to blame, but thinks another vaccine was. She has heard Dr. Wakefield speak and says the ethical concerns about his research don’t change her opinion, “There’s nothing in this decision that says at all that MMR can’t be linked to autism in the future or that vaccines don’t have anything to do with autism.” In fact, signs of a link between gastrointestinal illnesses and autism have been found by other researchers…though not necessarily a specific link to the MMR vaccine; but Spencer believes a memo sent to doctors just two weeks ago backs up the link first examined in Dr. Wakefield’s research, “The American Academy of Pediatrics sent out a request to their pediatricians saying that it is a trend that gastrointestinal issues show up in children with autism quite often and that it’s time for pediatricians to start paying attention to those gastrointestinal issues and also trying to treat them.”

It’s treatment of those issues she credits with helping improve her son’s autistic symptoms.
With incidents of autism on the rise in this country - the dialogue, and controversy, is sure to continue as parents and researchers look for a cause.

16. That he's managed to misinform many parents who desparatly want an explanation isn't evidence

for his claim. The science is quite clear, as many studies have now been done showing there's no relationship between the MMR and autism.

The reason so many of those parents are convinced the shot caused the problem is that the shot is given at the age where autism symptoms tend to diverge sharply from typical development, as typical children's language and social skills expand rapidly and autistic children's skills do not and frequently seem to regress. This is the case regardless of a child's vaccination status. Assuming that one causes the other makes no more sense than assuming that spending all of one's money at the Hello Kitty store causes early symptoms of puberty, since both tend to happen at about age ten in American girls. Though with a hand-picked sample of a dozen kids, I could probably "prove" that the Sanrio Corporation causes puberty, just as Wakefield "proved" that the MMR causes autism. I wouldn't even have to stick a scope in a kid at their birthday party to do it.

[Spider Jerusalem]

17. Sorry.

But no matter how many parents 'just know' that vaccination MUST BE why they have an autistic child, it still isn't so. Correlation is not causation; autism first becomes EVIDENT at approximately the same age as children receive vaccinations. This does not mean that the vaccinations caused the autism (and there have been countless population studies that have not only utterly failed to find any link whatever but have found no difference in prevalence in populations born before the introduction of the MMR vaccine and after). The neurological differences present in autistic spectrum disorders...including differences not only in brain size, but in cerebral structures and proportion of white matter to grey matter...are of such a degree, and such a kind, that they can only have their origin at a relatively early point in gestation.

23. I am truly grateful that these parents are a minority, loud as they are

I've met many dozens, if not a few hundred, fellow parents and primary caregivers of kids on the spectrum since my child was diagnosed, and not a one has ever asserted the vaccines-cause-autism meme. The media emphasis on these folks (to whose families I wish nothing but good things) makes it seem as if there are more than there are.

18. Medical journal retracts study linking autism to vaccine

Source: CNN

(CNN) -- The medical journal The Lancet on Tuesday retracted a controversial 1998 paper that linked the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine to autism.

The study subsequently had been discredited, and last week, the lead author, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, was found to have acted unethically in conducting the research.

The General Medical Council, which oversees doctors in Britain, said that "there was a biased selection of patients in The Lancet paper" and that his "conduct in this regard was dishonest and irresponsible."

The panel found that Wakefield subjected some children in the study to various invasive medical procedures such as colonoscopies and MRI scans. He also paid children for blood samples for research purposes at his son's birthday party, an act that "showed a callous disregard" for the "distress and pain" of the children, the panel said.

30. Autism link with MMR jab 'a possibility', says researcher

Consultant to the Espa Autism Research Unit
10:13am Thursday 4th February 2010

A NORTH-EAST researcher who has long suspected a link between the MMR triple vaccine and autism has said he still thinks there is “a possibility” that his team will find evidence of a connection.

Paul Shattock, scientific consultant to the Espa Autism Research Unit, in Sunderland, has spent the past decade analysing thousands of urine samples from people with autism.

He believes that the prime suspect for the steady increase in autism cases in the UK is exposure to organophosphates contained in modern pesticides.

But Mr Shattock, who recently received an OBE after founding the Education and Services for People with Autism (Espa) charity, still suspects there may be a link between a small minority of autism cases and the MMR triple vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella, despite the recent controversy surrounding Dr Andrew Wakefield.

.....“We are not saying that there definitely is a link, we are just saying we should find out,” said Mr Shattock, who founded Espa after his son was diagnosed with autism.

He dismissed the GMC verdict on Dr Wakefield as a political decision, pointing out that no one had actually made a complaint.

Mr Shattock’s suspicion of a link between MMR and autism for a minority of cases was roused in 2002 when he noticed that about one in ten parents donating urine samples to his research team said they believed the MMR jab may have triggered autism.

Eight years and thousands of urine samples later, the former pharmacy lecturer says that about six to seven per cent of parents who submit samples still claim their child’s condition was triggered by the triple vaccine.

Mr Shattock stressed that his researchers were much more interested in organophophates than finding evidence of a link with MMR, but said there was a possibility they might find evidence implicating the triple jab......

33. A Statement from Jenny McCarthy & Jim Carrey: Andrew Wakefield, Scientific Censorship & 14 monkeys

Los Angeles, February 5, 2010

Dr. Andrew Wakefield is being discredited to prevent an historic study from being published that for the first time looks at vaccinated versus unvaccinated primates and compares health outcomes, with potentially devastating consequences for vaccine makers and public health officials.

It is our most sincere belief that Dr. Wakefield and parents of children with autism around the world are being subjected to a remarkable media campaign engineered by vaccine manufacturers reporting on the retraction of a paper published in The Lancet in 1998 by Dr. Wakefield and his colleagues.

The retraction from The Lancet was a response to a ruling from England’s General Medical Council, a kangaroo court where public health officials in the pocket of vaccine makers served as judge and jury. Dr. Wakefield strenuously denies all the findings of the GMC and plans a vigorous appeal.

Despite rampant misreporting, Dr. Wakefield’s original paper regarding 12 children with severe bowel disease and autism never rendered any judgment whatsoever on whether or not vaccines cause autism, and The Lancet’s retraction gets us no closer to understanding this complex issue.

Dr. Wakefield is one of the world’s most respected and well-published gastroenterologists. He has published dozens of papers since 1998 in well-regarded peer-reviewed journals all over the world. His work documenting the bowel disease of children with autism and his exploration of novel ways to treat bowel disease has helped relieve the pain and suffering of thousands of children with autism.

......Behind the scenes, the pressure to keep the work of Dr. Wakefield and his colleagues from being published is immense, and growing every day. Medical journals take extreme risk of backlash in publishing any studies that question the safety of the vaccination program, no matter how well-designed and thorough the research might be. Neurotoxicology, a highly-respected medical journal, deserves great credit for courageously publishing the first phase of this vaccinated monkey study.

The press has been deeply misled in the way The Lancet retraction, and Dr. Wakefield’s mock trial, have been characterized. Led by the pharmaceutical companies and their well-compensated spokespeople, Dr. Wakefield is being vilified through a well-orchestrated smear campaign designed to prevent this important new work from seeing the light of day.

What medical journal would want to step in front of this freight train? Moreover, why now, after 12 years of inaction, did The Lancet and GMC suddenly act? Is it coincidence that the monkey study is currently being submitted to medical journals for review and publication?

Dr. Wakefield’s original paper regarding 12 children with severe bowel disease and autism never rendered any judgment whatsoever on whether or not vaccines cause autism

So what, exactly, was she basing her campaign on? If he isn't supporting her position, why does she care what happens to him?

He has published dozens of papers since 1998 in well-regarded peer-reviewed journals all over the world.
