Did Wakefield ever admit his MMR & autism paper was a fraud? I know he’s acknowledged taking blood samples from children without complying with ethical guidelines, and failing to disclose a conflict of interest, but I don’t recall him saying the paper’s results were BS.
I should add that although you were mistaken about the details, I basically agree with your example. Plenty of people still reckon vaccines cause autism.
“When the author of the original data admits that he fabricated it, people will stop believing that vaccines cause autism.”

No, I was completely mistaken about this case. For some reason I thought that the 12 children didn’t even exist.
