1.Misleading

events occurs in early childhood.
Wakefield didn't conduct his study on this vaccines according to
ethical standards for research.He specifically choose the children
with autism or gastrointestinal issues to prove his theory to be
true.The sampling was selective rather than independently.
2.Falsified facts for financial gain
It was a deliberate attempt to obtain financial gain by making
false fear in the society especially among parents against MMR.His
recommendation was to give single-antigen vaccinations separately
over time instead of the combination.
