The Wakefield factor
In an effort to
talk with Andrew Wakefield, Brian Deer attended a
meeting of the Austism Society of America in
Indianapolis in October 2004, and found it to be
partly funded by quacks, who rented stalls at the
entrance. One was promoting "transfer
factor", based on the evidence below. When
Brian Deer asked about the claims in the
brochure, and whether the "paper"
beneath it was a proper basis for selling
products to the parents of autistic children,
conference organisers had Deer ejected by
security staff
Transfer factor
was pioneered by Hugh Fudenberg, whose medical
registration status is republished by Brian Deer
