REAM #35: The Retracted Paper Linking Vaccines to Autism

Join us for our special edition of our "Book Club for Scientific Articles" meetup. This time we will be talking about an "anti-paper" of sorts. A paper that has been retracted and is considered non-scientific, yet it had a profound impact on the culture surrounding vaccies in the late nineties and early two thousands. We will read the retracted paper to see why it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

Join our Discord server! We will be sharing links and continuing the discussion there.

Anyone interested is welcome, but we strongly recommend reading the paper because that is the way to get most out of REAM.

The retracted article:
AJ Wakefield et al, Ileal-lymphoid-nodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and pervasive developmental disorder in children, 1998
The article can be found here.

I'm looking forward to the discussion, see you there!
