Journal retracts flawed study

A major British medical journal this week finally retracted a flawed study that linked the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine to autism and bowl disease.

"We fully retract this paper from the published record," Lancet editors said of British surgeon Andrew Wakefield's study that had been published in 1998.

Since the controversial paper was published, vaccination rates for measles in Britain have never recovered, and there are outbreaks of the disease every year.
