Holford’s HIV and autism claims are not in line with modern medical thought and have been criticized for putting people in danger and damaging public health.

Patrick is known as one of the main supporters of the hypothesis that means there is a potential link in some susceptible children between the MMR vaccine and the development of autism-like symptoms. That means this is against the overwhelming opposition to the hypothesis by members of the scientific community. The scientific community has discredited the Wakefield et al. paper upon which this hypothesis was based, and from which 10 of the 12 co-authors have formally retracted the paper. Furthermore, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the UK National Health Service, the Cochrane Library, and the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences review have concluded that there is no evidence of a link between the MMR vaccine-autism.
