Wakefield's fraud has never gone away. It's been continuously restated, rehashed, and recycled since the moment it was debunked. It's very unfortunate that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has always been one of the worst instigators of Wakefield's disinformation.
was taught for years that @DrAndyWakefield had committed fraud - it was not true.
I was taught for years that @DrAndyWakefield had committed fraud - it was not true.
His prior paper - written with @PeterDaszak - showed that measles virus was a contributor to Crohn's.
The Lancet paper showed that bowel disease was a feature of severe disability after vaccination.
Wakefield had to be destroyed to protect the vaccine industry or it would have collapsed in 1998.
That is how the pharma industry works, but they can't do it alone.
In the case of the Wakefield saga, they were aided by the @bmj_latest who commissioned Brian Deer to fabricate a fake story about "fraud" because they were being paid by GSK and Merck - the very vaccine makers who stood to be eviscerated by the truth about their product's safety.
All this is documented (thread below).
The children in the paper were permanently disabled by the MMR vaccine and never, ever, got recognition. They are on track to die without ever having their vaccine disability recognised.
This is the worst travesty of the medical industry ever committed - because it was done for money.
