It's been clear for years that Wakefield was wrong. There is no association between receipt of MMR and the onset of ASD and bowel complaints.
It doesn't matter if Wakefield was dishonest (although the UK General Medical Council judged that it was "found proved" that he was in fact dishonest); it doesn't matter if his work was fraudulent (although the editors of the British Medical Journal wrote: "there is no doubt" that it was Wakefield who perpetrated an "elaborate fraud"); what matters is just that Wakefield was wrong.
