3Professional Communication and Academic WritingIntroductionAn article by Don Ward Hackett published in the digital newspaper PrecisionVax’s suggest that 55% of the British population believes there is a correlation between the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism. (Hackett, 2018) The belief of a link between MMR vaccine and autism comes from a study carried out by Dr. Andrew Wakefield. Wakefield’s study was published in the highly regarded magazine The Lancet in 1998. Wakefield’s study drew the attention of many people and contributed to the mistrust of MMR vaccine. In 2010, 12 years later The Lancet withdrew Wakefield’s study as it turned out to have been false. (Ruling on doctor in MMR scare, 2010)The following report will analyze the published evidence against the correlation between the MMR vaccine and autism, using peer reviewed articles and journals from the years 1998-2014. It will explain further about Wakefield’s false study and the consequences of the falsified beliefs spread by Wakefield’s study. One important motive with this report will be to convince the uncertain thoughts about the research.

The research was based upon only12 patients which made contemporary researchers observe that the findings needed to be critically reviewed.
