Wakefield's Legacy

Despite the fact that Andrew Wakefield's findings correlating autism and vaccination have been completely disproven, he retains supporters, shamefully including celebrities who should be better informed and do public retractions of their advocacy of this nonsense.


This reinforces my belief that there is no stronger force in the universe, including the black hole at the center of our galaxy, than the human will to belief in the face of all evidence to the contrary. Man is not the rational animal, he is the rationalizing animal.

And what is Wakefield's legacy? Dead children.
