BabyJab

Surprised to be the first to report this here!

A private clinic called BabyJabs has been ordered to remove (from its website) the claim that MMR can cause autism. The (UK) Advertising Standards Authority said the claim had no scientific basis and was misleading.

Despite this, ther are still many references to such a link on their site.

The clinic is run by  Dr Richard Halvorsen, a noted supporter of discredited Dr Wakefield.

It is, unfortunately, a huge problem here as well.  

The terrifying thing is that it has taken on this conspiracy theory mentality, so no matter how much scientific data you throw at someone they're going to continue believing that there is a connection.
