LONDON, ENGLAND - JANUARY 28: A woman stands outside the General Medical Council (GMC) with a placard about autism on January 28, 2010 in London, England. Dr Andrew Wakefield was the first clinician to suggest a link between autism in children and the triple vaccination for measles, mumps and rubella known as MMR. Today's GMC ruling states that he had acted "dishonestly and irresponsibly" in carrying out his research. Vaccination take up rates dropped dramatically after Dr Wakefield's research was published in 1998. (Photo by Peter Macdiarmid/Getty Images)
