Igen. Diskussionen handlar om huruvida Lancet-studien bedrevs under giltigt etiskt tillstånd och jo, så var fallet enligt domen i UK High Court (och enligt var och en som förstår skriven engelska).Domen är fortfarande totalt irrelevant, det vi diskuterar är faktumet att Wakefield ljög när han sökte tillstånd att ta ryggmärgsprover och göra totalt onödiga invasiva ingrepp som analsonder och halssonder etc på barn som inte alls hade de diagnoser han påstod. Alltså hade han inget giltigt etiskt tillstånd att utföra dessa övergrepp.
Förstår du nu?
Eller med enklare ord:
Eller som Lancet skrev när de drog tillbaks artikeln:

The researchers asked for permission to carry out the tests on 25 children with a condition known as disintegrative disorder, which is also known as disintegrative psychosis or Heller's disease. DD is a much worse form of developmental disorder than autism, and the researchers stressed in their application that it is separate from autism. They said, in paragraph 5, "Scientific background", that "disintegrative disorder differs from autism in the loss of motor and self-help skills and usually, too, in the lack of more complex stereotype behavioral patterns".https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200304/cmhansrd/vo040315/debtext/40315-35.htm#40315-35_spnew0
Eller med enklare ord:
Firstly, when Dr Wakefield and his colleagues submitted the trial protocol for ethics approval in 1996, they said that the study was to investigate enteritis in children who had a condition known as “disintegrative disorder,” also known as disintegrative psychosis or Heller's disease. But the published research showed that not one of the 12 children investigated had disintegrative disorder; they were mostly children with autism.https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC381348/
Eller som Lancet skrev när de drog tillbaks artikeln:
Following the judgment of the UK General Medical Council's Fitness to Practice Panel on Jan 28, 2010, it has become clear that several elements of the 1998 paper by Wakefield et al are incorrect ... in particular, the claims in the original paper that children were 'consecutively referred' and that investigations were 'approved' by the local ethics committee have been proven to be false. Therefore we fully retract this paper from the published record.https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Health/AutismNews/autism-british-doctor-andrew-wakefield-started-autism-vaccine-debate-ethics-debacle/story?id=9713197
Domen säger vidare att GMC genomgående förväxlade Lancet-studien (som hade ett heltäckande etiskt tillstånd) med en helt annan planerad studie vilken dessutom aldrig ägde rum.
Svårare än så var det inte.
