Which court determined that no respectable opinion supported Wakefield's hypothesis?

U.S. Supreme Court
British Court
European Court of Justice
International Criminal Court

Answer

The British Court ruled that no reputable scientific opinion supported Andrew Wakefield's hypothesis linking the MMR vaccine to autism. This landmark decision in 2010 discredited Wakefield's claims and led to his medical license being revoked. The judgment emphasized the absence of scientific evidence to support his theory and the subsequent retraction of his study by the medical journal The Lancet.
