hope sour into bitterness
This page
is material from the award-winning investigation by Brian Deer for The Sunday Times of London, the
UKs Channel 4 TV network and BMJ, the British
Medical Journal, which exposed vaccine
research fraudster Andrew Wakefield |
Investigation
summary
With the
collapse of Andrew Wakefield's campaign
against the MMR vaccine, thousands of
parents - many litigants - were stripped
of baseless hopes that they could pin
their child's autism on supposedly
sinister, corrupt forces, and perhaps
even win a large sum of money. In some
cases, years of energy were wasted that,
but for Wakefield's false claims, might
have been productively channelled
