On February 28, 1998, Dr. Wakefield, with the help of twelve of his colleagues, published an article in the peer-reviewed medical journal, The Lancet, claiming a link between the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism, as well as chronic enterocolitis (Andrade and Rao, 2011). The literature presented by Wakefield et al. and remarks following the completion of his research has resulted
Immunizations Do Not Cause Autism Some parents believe Autism is caused by childhood vaccines, however, no medical evidence is published to prove this theory. Vaccinations are important to stop the spread of childhood disease and early deaths. Andrew Wakefield published a research paper in 1998, stating that Autism was caused by the MMR vaccination. Since then, many parents stopped getting their children all childhood vaccinations in fear that it may cause their child to become Autistic. Recent research
Introduction This paper seeks to understand the MMR vaccine, the nature of autism, the character and research of Andrew Wakefield. Through understanding his initial publication in The Lancet titled "Ileal-lymphoid-nodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and pervasive developmental disorder in children", as well as it’s repercussions and eventual retraction, a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship (or lack there-of) between the MMR vaccine and autism shall be explored.

It became apparent throughout the retraction of Wakefield’s publication that
To question if a particular vaccine were to induce a particular mental condition would be a very interesting hypothesis. Dr. Andrew Wakefield, a Gastroenterologist from the United Kingdom theorized such an idea. He published an article in 1998 stating that there is some sort of link or connection between the MMR (Mumps, Measles and Rubella) vaccine and a developmental disorder known as Autism. Wakefield hypothesized that the measles vaccine portion of the MMR vaccine causes inflammatory bowel disease

From its beginnings in Early Gothic to its completion just before Perpendicular, Lichfield Cathedral poses a fine balance between development and refinement, is a magnificent example of patterns of embellishment, and proves to be a great accomplishment for Decorated Gothic.
