The Slippery Slope of Errors
What is this about?
Research fraud concerning the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine lead to a measles outbreak in Wales in the UK affecting over a thousand children. Innocent people became the victims of another person's wilful misdemeanour, and in this case a ‘misdemeanour’ whose long‐term implications were probably not fully understood at the time of initial exposure[1]. This is a factual case.
Why is this important?
This kind of research fraud can cause an entire outbreak of a disease and furthermore cost innocent people's lives.
