Salon retracts autism-vaccine link article by DougJarvus Green-Ellis They should have done this a long time ago, but credit to Salon for finally retracting the report they published (jointly with Rolling Stone) in 2005 linking vaccines with autism. The report was authored by Robert F Kennedy Jr., which makes it hard for me to bite my tongue when I hear people talk (and they often do) about how great he is. “I regret we didn’t move on this more quickly, as evidence continued to emerge debunking the vaccines and autism link,” says former Salon editor in chief Joan Walsh, now editor at large. “But continued revelations of the flaws and even fraud tainting the science behind the connection make taking down the story the right thing to do.” The story’s original URL now links to our autism topics page, which we believe now offers a strong record of clear thinking and skeptical coverage we’re proud of—including the critical pursuit of others who continue to propagate the debunked, and dangerous, autism-vaccine link. balloon-juice.com
