"No, Dr. Wakefield was offered money to prove MMR was safe and when he looked into the lack of safety studies (and the fact that kids are only followed up for 3 weeks), he came to the opposite conclusion."
Ah! So THAT'S why Wakefield turned down salary, staff support, and research funding to conduct a study of 150 children that could have replicated his preliminary results: It's because kid's in some MMR studies were followed up for only 3 weeks!
You should probably stick to posting about subjects that you understand.
