From what was Wakefield struck off in 2010?

Medical Register
A university
A medical board
A research panel

Answer

Wakefield was struck off the Medical Register in 2010 due to his unethical conduct and misrepresentation of research findings in the 1998 Lancet study linking the MMR vaccine to autism, which was later retracted. His actions seriously undermined public trust in vaccines and contributed to a significant decline in MMR vaccination rates, resulting in outbreaks of measles and other preventable diseases.
