Original Note:
Andrew Wakefield published a paper falsely claiming a link between MMR-vaccines and autism, while working on a vaccine himself. The paper was retracted by The Lancet in 2010 due to ethical concerns: https://www.bmj.com/content/340/bmj.c696#:~:text=The%20Lancet%20has%20retracted%20the%2012%20year%20old,suggested%20a%20link%20between%20the%20vaccine%20and%20autism.
