Original Note:
The post is correct, Wakefield was cancelled after listing the MMR vaccine as the onset event for developmental disorders, though he did not say it causes inflammation. The proposed notes are false, the cause of autism is largely unknown. Vaccines have not been ruled out. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140673697110960/fulltext https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5373490/
