An article about Brian Deer’s investigation into Andrew Wakefield’s claim that the MMR vaccine caused autism. Included were his discoveries that Wakefield had not disclosed that:

* he was paid £435,000 from lawyers suing vaccine manufacturers
* he had patented plans for a rival vaccine (this vaccine never amounted to anything)
* he had recruited of children through litigation networks
* he had misrepresented clinical timelines in patient records

I do wonder how many tens of thousands of people Wakefield has killed.

Andrew Wakefield: the fraud investigation – briandeer.com

I’m glad someone wrote about The Lancet’s own responsibility in powering anti-vax marketers. David Gorski at Science-Based Medicine also wrote about it (that’s how I got this article).

“The Lancet actually knew about all the problems with Wakefield’s study, and they published it anyway. Problems that were spelled out in a commentary, *Vaccine adverse events: causal or coincidental?*, that was published in the same issue.”

A really important piece on how the author nearly got sucked into the the #AntiVax movement when she was pregnant, the conversations that helped her avoid it, and how predatory grifters prey on the understandable fears of new mothers to enrich themselves rather than out of concern for babies.

Yes I know it's Substack, still worth reading.
