Default Wakefield Altered Facts about patients in his autism study

Yeap, Wakefield altered facts, as can be seen by comparing hospital
records and the reported diagnoses in his published research paper. This
means that he is a complete scum bucket. The editor of the BMJ, where
this was reported, said that the autism work was "an elaborate fraud."

Yet, the antivaccine crowd still hold up Wakefield as a hero. That shows
little they have to go on.
