Scientists have renounced their conclusions in a study that suggested a link between childhood vaccinations and autism.
Ten of the 13 authors involved in the study signed a formal retraction stating the main author was being paid on the side by lawyers for parents who claimed their children were harmed by the immunizations.
Results from the study led to a lack of confidence among the public regarding the triple vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella because of its suggested link to autism. Although the connection between autism and the vaccine was determined invalid, the MMR vaccination rates fell drastically and have yet to recover.
The scientists wanted to make it clear in the retractions that although there was no casual link between the vaccine and autism, the possibility of such a link was raised.
The study involved 12 children and was conducted approximately eight years after the children had been vaccinated. It’s findings were mainly based on parents remembering whether the signs of autism occurred around the same time as the vaccinations
Dr. Andrew Wakefield, the main author of the study, continues to insist the study was valid and has refused to sign the retraction.

Ten out of 13 scientists involved in the 1998 study suggested a link between childhood vaccinations and autism have now renounced their conclusions. Now they are saying the data was insufficient and there was "no casual link" established between the vaccine and autism. However, the possibility of such a link was raised. The important point made in this article is the fact that Dr. Wakefield, the main researcher who determined the link between the vaccination and autism, didn’t sign the retraction. The system’s power to convince researchers to retract their initial findings is an amazing testimony to how corrupt it has become.
Although MMR is not the cause of all cases of autism, it has clearly been linked to several cases I have come across.
Many autistic children are cautioned to avoid milk, however they actually need to avoid pasteurized milk. Raw milk is fine for autism but an even better choice than raw milk is fermented raw milk or kefir. In the near future, I will be writing some major stories on this so keep posted, as you will find you can also make raw coconut kefir water.
I’ve posted several articles on the link between the MMR vaccination and autism in the past. I suggest you take a look at them to learn more about their connection.
