An article about Brian Deer’s investigation into Andrew Wakefield’s claim that the MMR vaccine caused autism. Included were his discoveries that Wakefield had not disclosed that:

  • he was paid £435,000 from lawyers suing vaccine manufacturers
  • he had patented plans for a rival vaccine (this vaccine never amounted to anything)
  • he had recruited of children through litigation networks
  • he had misrepresented clinical timelines in patient records

I do wonder how many tens of thousands of people Wakefield has killed.
