Newspaper deletes MMR-autism evidence

The Guardian – a major UK newspaper – has been caught out deleting evidence on its website that demonstrates the MMR vaccine does cause autism.
The evidence – posted on the newspaper’s blog section – was deleted within minutes. It included links to comments made by Julia Gerberding, then a director of the US Centers for Disease Control, the US Health Resources Services Administration and the US Federal Court that all accepted that the vaccine can cause autism. The pressure group, Child Health Safety, had posted the links.
In 2009, The Guardian set up a joint collaboration with the British Medical Journal to present ‘evidence-based’ medical information. This year, the BMJ was forced to admit that it receives advertising and sponsorship money from Merck and GlaxoSmithKline, which both manufacture the MMR vaccine, following several pro-vaccine articles it had published.
