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. #antivax #AndrewWakefield #mmrvaccine https://briandeer.com/mmr/lancet-summary.htm
