Sorry Jamesey, I missed " Question Time " as I was preparing a thread on measles in the Health section of the forum.
Thanks for your response to my thread
The " Lancet " medical journal at least discredited Mr Wakefield ( a doctor until removed from the GMC register ) and stated that they wished they had not published the article. The press had also failed to report his studies critically. Tony Blair ( Prime Minister at the time ) refused to say whether his son Leo had been given the MMR vaccine ( apparently he had ). Of course that was his personal choice, but it didn't stop the health scare.
