Vaccine Autism Hoax

In 1998, a leading medical journal published evidence of a link between autism and a common vaccine. Twelve years later, the study was completely retracted. US and UK authorities found its claims unreliable. A decade-long investigation by British journalist Brian Deer proved the study wasn’t just sloppy research, it was outright deception. But the consequences of that debunked study persist. Brian Deer shares more from his book “The Doctor Who Fooled the World: Science, Deception, and the War on Vaccines.” (Originally aired: October 8th, 2020)
