After Andrew Wakefield finally had his laughable “research” paper withdrawn, what happened to the people who peer reviewed and approved it originally?

Were they also censured or did they get away with it? Has the system been changed since to prevent such shitty papers seeing the light of day?

I realise you know who Wakefield is, but your post could equally well be about some niche writer in some specialist subject of no interest to the general public. Maybe include some context?

If you don’t know who he is, then you’re not going to be able to answer the questions as they’re all dependent on that.

>you’re not going to be able to answer the questions Which ... doesn't really bother me at all, since nobody seems to want to actually tell me who he is.
