Most these will end up developing scars that will be part of their everyday lives. Wakefield and his colleagues used innocent children as their Guinea pigs and that was really awful. I was really glad to see that the Lancet after finding out what Wakefield and his colleagues did retracted their research form their paper. Bu I guess the harm had already been done .Because…

    Between the prison study and the MMR vaccination studies that were published, I feel that the MMR study that was reported in the Lancet was the most damaging. While Stanford’s prison study harmed the volunteers that participated, the reported study in the Lancet caused trouble on a global scale.

    In the world of science you can find information basically on any topic you wish to know more about. Whether it’s researching different types of plants or finding the different methods to curing a certain disease or cancer.
