As you may know, Dr. Wakefield has been falsly accused and his research attacked repeatedly in the press in an attempt to discredit his findings linking the MMR vaccine to the onset of autism. It is refreshing to finally see a newspaper retract their false attacks. Below is a retraction published in the "The Cambridge News" on-line newpaper:

Dr. Andrew Wakefield

In an article published on June 20, we referred to allegations printed in The Sunday Times relating to Dr Andrew Wakefield.
The allegations related to two studies conducted by Dr Wakefield into the link between the Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccination and the onset of autism.

The Sunday Times alleged that the nature of the funding of one of the studies could potentially have affected the outcome.

We have been informed that defamation proceedings have been commenced against The Sunday Times in connection with this article.

We would like to make it clear that there was in fact no conflict of interest nor was Dr Wakefield personally paid to undertake the study as was alleged.

Furthermore we wish to clarify that the studies were carried out under proper ethical authorisation.

Finally we accept that the subjects of the studies were selected through appropriate NHS referrals.

We apologise to Dr Wakefield for any distress caused and at his request have paid an appropriate sum to selected charities.
