The Lancet has formally retracted the BS “science” that was the spark for the anti vax movement.

Well, it’s about frackin time.  How many babies have to die?

Following the judgment of the UK General Medical Council’s Fitness to Practise Panel on Jan 28, 2010, it has become clear that several elements of the 1998 paper by Wakefield et al. are incorrect, contrary to the findings of an earlier investigation.
