A couple weeks ago on the show I mentioned the latest developments regarding the disgraced Andrew Wakefield. Wakefield is the doctor who first started suggestion that vaccinations, particularly the MMR vaccine was causing health risks, eventually suggesting that autism was a result of the vaccine. Wakefield’s original study which was published in the Lancet was [...]

I’ve written a few vaccine pieces for this blog when I think I can explain some of the basic science such as herd immunity and the chemistry of elements and compounds.  What has unfolded over the past few days is not about basic science, it

Wakefield has been struck off. Apologies for not blogging this properly. I have just written an article for someone else, and can’t post the same text here. I will endeavour to do so in the next few days. In the meantime, here are the findings on Wakefield from the GMC. SPOILER ALERT: Accordingly the Panel has determined [...]

READ THE FULL ENTRY AT BAD ASTRONOMY This is HUGE: The BMJ, an online medical journal, has accused Andrew Wakefield — the hero of the modern antivaccination movement — of being “a fraud”.

News from the BBC.  Dr. Wakefield is guilty of serious professional misconduct.  The General Medical Council (GMC) completed their two and one half year review. During the two-and-a-half-year case, the longest in GMC history, he was accused of carrying out invasive tests on vulnerable children which were against their best interests. The GMC also said Dr Wakefield, [...]

The Wakefield investigation was the longest in the history of the GMC, with the disciplinary panel sitting for a [...]

[BPSDB]It will probably surprise absolutely nobody to learn that NaturalNews are Wakefield defenders, although in this item by Aaron Turpen we can see a few goalposts being shifted. The news has been full of headlines trumpeting the discrediting of Dr. Andrew Wakefield`s 1998 study on vaccines (specifically MMR, measles-mumps-rubella) and childhood autism…the news outlets in [...]

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “vaccines cause autism”. It’s the catch-cry of the anti-vaccination movement and a nagging doubt in the minds of worried parents. And it’s completely and utterly false. It is, however, believed by many to be true. And for this we can blame one Andrew Wakefield. Wakefield was the man primarily [...]

On Monday there’s an excellent chance that Andrew Wakefield, the man most responsible for the modern incarnation of the anti-vaccine movement, will no longer have a medical license. I wish I could say it’s been a fun ride but it hasn’t. Wakefield abused his medical position by accepting money from lawyers trying to build a [...]

It’s done. Andrew Wakefield has been officially stuck off the UK’s medical registry. The General Medical Council has stripped him of the medical license, which he used as a license to kill. The GMC has called Wakefield “dishonest”, “misleading” and “irresponsible” in his research into the MMR vaccine and its purported links to autism. Of [...]

It’s not a surprise. It’s about six years overdue.  Andrew Wakefield will lose his medical license. Yes, the (in)famous Andrew Wakefield, the individual that started the modern antivaccination movement, and drove measles to become endemic in the United Kingdom again, will no longer be practicing medicine in the United Kingdom.  It’s all the result of [...]

Andrew Wakefield is a fraud. To many of you out there, this is not news at all. But today the British Medical Journal released the first of several close examinations by journalist Brian Deer that exposes Andrew Wakefield’s now retracted 1998 study published in the Lancet that analyzed twelve children as not just bad science [...]
