Wakefield's research was published in 1998 in The Lancet medical journal, claiming that the families of eight out of 12 children who had received the vaccine had blamed MMR after their youngsters developed autism.
At the time, the parents of the eight children said their kids had begun to develop problems within days of having the injection. valentine's Day gifts
But the Sunday Times said an investigation by the paper's reporters had revealed that in most of the 12 cases the children's ailments described in The Lancet were different from their medical records.
Only one child developed problems within days of receiving the MMR vaccine, with many of the other children having previous medical problems. links of london charms
