Autism Link to Vaccines

Dr. Andrew Wakefield published a paper a dozen years ago, linking vaccination with the development of autism in children. Since then, there has been no reproduction of these findings among the scientific community, and many people have regarded this finding as false. This article was published in The Lancelet, a reputable medical journal. Finally, after 12 years, The Lancelet finally withdrew this article as misleading and false.

What I am concerned with, is why this journal took so long to do so. Since then, there was an increase in measles outbreaks since many parents believed this. The journal should not have waited so long to report their mistake.
