1. Wakefield didn't steal 1 million dollars from his own funding - Thorsen did. Which begs the question, what then was used to fund these non-link studies?
2. Have you even looked into Wakefield yourself, or are you just believing what you've been told to believe in popular media? Do you even know what was so called "fraudulent" about Wakefield's correlation or case series study. In other words it was simply a trend report of things seen in patients they were treating, which then asks a hypothesis at the end as to possible reasons for the trend - it doesn't actually test that hypothesis (so basically Wakefield has been called a fraud for asking a question). I thought you said there was nothing wrong with asking questions...
Why is there so much fear about asking this question that it would provoke people to claiming he is a fraud for asking it?
