The Wakefield factor
Lording it among
the desperate parents of autistic children in the
wake of his now-discredited Lancet
"finding", anti-MMR campaign guru
Andrew Wakefield was interviewed in the fall of 1998
at a US "Defeat Autism Now" conference.
This interview reports how parents thought he'd
found "unusual swelling" in children; that
he regarded the Royal Free medical school as
possessing a "specialty lab" for
virological analysis; and, perhaps most
importantly, his indications for the invasive and
hazardous procedure of colonoscopy
