Andrew
Wakefield ally Carol Stott warned by
Society over professional misconduct
This page
is material from the award-winning investigation by Brian Deer for The Sunday Times of London, the UK’s
Channel 4 TV network and BMJ, the British
Medical Journal, which exposed vaccine
research fraudster Andrew Wakefield |
Investigation
summary
Such was
the poverty of opinion behind a legal
attack on MMR, backed by Andrew Wakefield, that lawyers
suing drug companies resorted to hiring
"experts" with unusual
pedigrees. Few more so than Carol Stott,
an information officer with a
Cambridgshire health authority, who
launched a bizarre hate mail attack on Brian Deer.
Concerned that Stott might have
unsupervised access to children, Deer
wrote to the British Psychological
Society, the UK regulatory body for
chartered psychologists, which issued the
ruling below
nb:
Despite this letter being marked
"strictly private and
confidential", it plainly doesn't
have the necessary quality of confidence,
and has therefore been made public. Dr
Stott's involvement as an "expert
witness" in MMR litigation renders
her conduct of public interest
