The Lancet Recants Study Linking Autism To Vaccine 590
JamJam writes "The Lancet, a major British medical journal, has retracted a flawed study linking the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine to autism and bowel disease. British surgeon and medical researcher Andrew Wakefield and his colleagues originally released their study in 1998. Since then 10 of Wakefield's 13 co-authors have renounced the study's conclusions and The Lancet has said it should never have published the research. Wakefield now faces being stripped of his right to practice medicine in Britain. The vaccine-autism debate should now end."

If you still seek evidence, might I suggest then that you read the Book of Mormon? Seriously ponder what it says and how you feel when you read it. There is evidence there. Then ask Him if he is real and if he really cares for you and all His children?
I extend this challenge to everyone. What have you got to lose besides a few hours of your time? It's not that long of a book. However, what you could gain is immeasurable.
