We previously likened or compared this to the false notion that vaccinations can contribute to the onset of Autism (The Lancet Study). The source of this “alternative fact” rests in the findings of a study that showed a link between routine vaccinations and the onset of Autism. The study has never been replicated, collaborated, or independently verified. A study that the authors have admitted to falsifying the data and have retracted the study in full.

If curious about this Lancet study – here is the link to its retraction.
