'Lancet' Retracts Autism Paper

Citing the study's bad methodology, the British medical journal The Lancet retracted a 1998 paper that linked autism with the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine. What do you think?

“That's obvious. Vaccines don't cause autism. Not telling your kids to smarten up and get their heads out of their asses does."”

“That study may have been flawed, but the connection still exists. How else do you explain the fact that neither of my intentionally unvaccinated children have autism?"”
