Abstract
- The article looks at a 2013 outbreak of measles in Great Britain that health officials say is the result of a generation of children who were not vaccinated against the disease as infants in the 1990s. A paper published in 1998 by medical researcher Andrew Wakefield that linked the MMR (measles-mumps-rubellla) vaccine to autism, later found to be fraudulent, is noted as a main cause for parents choosing not to vaccinate their children.
