Royal
Free research "review" on autistic kids
is only undated, one-paragraph note
This page is
research from an investigation by Brian Deer for The Sunday Times of London and
the UK's Channel 4 Television into a campaign
linking the MMR children's
vaccine with autism. | Go to part I:
The Lancet scandal | Go to part II:
The Wakefield factor
Documents
obtained during Brian Deer's investigations
included papers relating to a battery of tests on
autistic children, carried out under sedation or
general anaesthetic at the Royal Free hospital, London, and published in
the Lancet of February 28 1998. The project was
supervised by Dr Andrew Wakefield, who would later deny
that it was a clinical research study requiring
ethical approval
Here is an
"independent expert review" of what the
senior clinical researcher, Professor John Walker-Smith, called a "high
risk" project: merely an undated,
one-paragraph note from a gastroenterologist
colleague of Wakefield's in the medical school
