Britain bans doctor who linked vaccine to autism

[the white rabbit]

LONDON�A gastroenterologist who persuaded millions of parents worldwide that a common vaccine could cause autism was barred from practicing medicine in his native Britain on Monday after the country’s top medical group found he conducted his research unethically.

Dr. Andrew Wakefield was the first researcher to publish a peer-reviewed study suggesting a connection between autism and the vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella. That prompted legions of parents to abandon the vaccine in moves that epidemiologists feared could lead to outbreaks of the potentially deadly diseases.

the saddest part of this is the fact that many will cheer

i frequent a couple sites regarding autism / aspergers and there is a pretty strong consensus among the parents and kids that there is no correlation between vaccines and autism and anyone who dares bring up these "conspiracies" is ridiculed

like questioning the holohoax lol

[MAGNES]

Correct me if I am wrong but are not autism
and even SIDS problems associated with the
industrialized West and even more so in the
USA as one of the most medicated countries
on the planet, the vaccine schedule in the USA
is crazy, a dozen alone for the flu, which is
ridiculous, and Hep B, even before the age
of 2 over 20 needles, the USA sorry to say
is one of the sickest countries on the planet,
prescriptions too.

[Glass]

getting banned is very hard core. Normally people would get a talking to or reprimand. Given the ferosity of the effort by the "authorities" I'd suggest there is something in it. I would also suggest this guy could have been a set up from the begining.

I also wondered if there were any other studies done or is his the ONLY ONE EVER DONE. I'm guessing, crazy as it seems that his was the only one.

I met a Doctor about 2 years ago now. She was/is a pediatrician for 40 years. She has watched the autism rate skyrocket from when she started practicing until that time. She was convinced 100% that MMR and autism are linked from all her experiences. But experience doesn't count for anything when it comes to debates because you can't present your experience for others to experience themselves.

My nephew developed a lazy eye <12mths old which I understand is a side effect from vaccinations but not the MMR... which I don't think he has had yet. Not sure. I am confident that vaccinations are not good for you.

As we all know, Deer’s article appearing in the British Medical Journal has given this story far more gravity with the American media. But, how many reporters even know what the British Medical Journal is? It doesn’t take long to discover the following from the BMJ’s own website:

- BMJ Journals receive advertising revenue from “display advertising for pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical products”...

Deer is the person who filed the complaint against Andy Wakefield with the GMC in the first place – he wagged the dog!

Above, I mentioned that Deer was originally supported by a front group for the Assocation for the British Pharmaceutical Industries called Medico-Legal Investigations, a group that a source mentioned “specialise in getting medical doctors prosecuted by the General Medical Council.”...

Let’s try to put this particular fact in some perspective. The General Medical Council is the body that took Andy’s license away. Their ruling caused the Lancet 1998 paper to be retracted, and led directly to the most recent media circus.

Yet, none of the parents from the original 1998 study had an issue with Andy Wakefield. No one at the Royal Free Hospital where he worked had an issue with Andy Wakefield. No one at The Lancet who published Wakefield had an issue with his work.

Brian Deer, a journalist hired by a pharmaceutical front group, a group that specialized in reporting doctors to the GMC, was the only person in all of Britain interested in filing a complaint about Wakefield’s study with the GMC, and he didn’t even do so until 6 years after Wakefield’s work had been published in The Lancet.

Brian Deer created this story, and now reports on this story, and the American media doesn’t understand remotely what’s actually taken place.


Bloomberg: Autism Study Tying Disorder to Vaccine Was `Not a Hoax,' Researcher Says (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-01-13/study-tying-vaccine-to-autism-was-not-a-hoax-researcher-says.html)

By Allison Connolly - Jan 13, 2011 1:28 PM PT

The author of a study linking vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella to an increased risk of autism said the research was “not a hoax,” contrary to reports in the British Medical Journal calling the findings a fraud.

Andrew Wakefield, who led the study published in the Lancet in 1998 and retracted last year, said he stands by the paper’s methodology and results, which have been duplicated in five other countries, according to a statement released today.

“My research and the serious medical problems found in those children were not a hoax and there was no fraud whatsoever,” Wakefield said. “Nor did I seek to profit from our findings.”

Investigators in the U.S., Italy, Venezuela, Canada and Poland confirmed the original results, with 11 published reports in peer-reviewed medical journals supporting the findings, he said in the statement.

Each of the dozen cases included in the study led by Wakefield at the Royal Free Hospital in London and published in 1998 in the Lancet was misrepresented or altered, journalist Brian Deer wrote in the BMJ article published Jan. 6. There’s “no doubt” there was a fraud that originated with Wakefield, BMJ editors concluded after reviewing Deer’s work.

The journal published another article by Deer on Jan. 11 saying that Wakefield “intended to make huge sums of money” from the research by selling diagnostic testing kits and other products.

Co-Authors Backed Away

Ten of Wakefield’s 12 co-authors on the Lancet paper backed away in 2004 and the journal retracted the study last year, saying some of the claims “have been proven to be false.”

The Lancet retraction left “the door open for those who want to continue to believe that the science, flawed though it always was, still stands,” BMJ editors wrote in an editorial accompanying Deer’s report. “We hope that declaring the paper a fraud will close that door for good.”

Immunization rates fell in the U.K. to about 80 percent by 2004, from 92 percent nine years earlier, as parents concerned that the treatment was risky refused vaccine, according to the Health Protection Agency. In 2008, measles was declared endemic in England and Wales for the first time in 14 years, the BMJ said.

The Sunday Times of London and Channel 4 television network funded the investigation, and the BMJ commissioned and paid for the reports published in the journal...

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/statement-from-dr-andrew-wakefield--no-fraud-no-hoax-no-profit-motive-113454389.html

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Andrew Wakefield issued the following statement today on the recent British Medical Journal articles:

"The British Medical Journal and reporter Brian Deer recently alleged that my 1998 research paper was 'a hoax' and 'an elaborate fraud' and that my motivation was profit.

"I want to make one thing crystal clear for the record – my research and the serious medical problems found in those children were not a hoax and there was no fraud whatsoever. Nor did I seek to profit from our findings.

"I stand by the Lancet paper's methodology and the results which call for more research into whether environmental triggers cause gastrointestinal disease and developmental regression in children. In fact, despite media reports to the contrary, the results of my research have been duplicated in five other countries (to see citations to studies, visit http://tinyurl.com/4hrdt5y.)

"It is not unexpected to see poor reporting and misinformation coming from Brian Deer, the lead reporter of the recent BMJ coverage. But to see coverage in other media that cites Deer's shoddy journalism in the BMJ as a final justification to claim there is no link between vaccines and autism is ludicrous. The MMR is only one vaccine of the eleven vaccinations on the pediatric schedule that has been studied for causing developmental problems such as autism. That is fact, not opinion. Any medical professional, government official or journalist who states that the case is closed on whether vaccines cause autism is jumping to conclusions without the research to back it up.

"I continue to fully support more independent research to determine if environmental triggers, including vaccines, are causing autism and other developmental problems. The current rate of autism is 1 in 110 children in the United States and 1 in 64 children in the U.K. My goal has always been and will remain the health and safety of children. Since the Lancet paper, I have lost my job, my career and my country. To claim that my motivation was profit is patently untrue. I will not be deterred - this issue is far too important."

Madison/com: Michael Wagnitz: ‘Panic Virus’ author just regurgitates talking points (http://host.madison.com/ct/news/opinion/mailbag/article_e02d2b6f-c1ec-5756-9438-605eb0aa5673.html)

Mnookin has literally taken every talking point used by public health officials and made it into a book. Recently on CNN Mnookin was asked point blank if there was any published, peer-reviewed data linking vaccines and autism. His answer was “none, not one single study.” I went to Pubmed (library of the National Institute of Health). When I typed in “autism and vaccines” I got references to 510 papers. For every paper that said the evidence linking vaccines to autism was weak, another four raised serious questions. How does this remotely translate into “not one single study”? I guess evidence is a pesky thing. In fairness to Mnookin, he mentioned he is not a scientist and does not have access to any of this research. I guess that’s another way of saying he didn’t read it.

Mnookin spent half his talk regurgitating the media talking points about the British gastroenterologist Dr. Andrew Wakefield. In recent days Wakefield has produced evidence showing that everything said about him in the press the last few weeks is nothing but a modern day witch hunt. Mnookin points out that Wakefield’s research involved only 12 kids and subsequent research done by public health officials examined millions of kids. Mnookin fails to understand that Wakefield’s researched involved the scoping and biopsying of children’s gastrointestinal tracts. The research done on this subject by the mainstream medical community does not involve the examination of one single kid, just statistical analysis. No matter what is being said about Wakefield, because of his work autistic children are now being treated for their gastrointestinal issues at mainstream hospitals throughout the country (including Harvard).

Mnookin conveniently avoided the “800 pound gorilla” in the room, that being the safety of injecting infants with bolus doses of mercury. He has never mentioned mercury even once in all his media events. If he did, he might have to talk about the study published in Pediatrics which actually had the gall to say that kids who have been injected with the most mercury actually did better on standard performance tests.

At the end of the talk Mnookin paints himself as the victim of abuse coming from parents of vaccine-injured kids, parents that he intentionally misled while researching his book.

Bloomberg's coverage: bloomberg.com/news/2011-01-14/dodgy-doctors-hucksters-prey-on-parents-devastated-by-autism-book-review (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-01-14/dodgy-doctors-hucksters-prey-on-parents-devastated-by-autism-book-review.html)

Before the anti-vaccine crowd starts attacking Mnookin’s book, they should page ahead to the chapter entitled “Baby Brie” and read about seven-week-old Gabrielle Romaguera, who died of pertussis, or whooping cough -- a once-vanquished disease that is on the rise as more children go unvaccinated. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta says Brie likely caught it from an infected child in her pediatrician’s waiting room.

“Had she survived, she would have been scheduled to receive the first dose of the pertussis vaccine just four days later,” Mnookin writes.
http://www.oregonlive.com/books/index.ssf/2011/01/nonfiction_review_the_panic_vi.html

Look: Even if a vaccine could cause autism, in the absence of a better formulation I'd still give it to my son. His disability is not a fate worse than death. And more to the epidemiological point -- it is also not worse than your child's death.

Talk about MSM propaganda. He didn't persuade anyone. He made an observation on the parents behalf. If anyone in the media would bother to read his fucking research paper. They would see that he stated the parents noticed the change after the MMR vaccine was administered.

[sunshine05]

Natural News released an article a week ago about this. Wakefield is innocent.

BMJ caught in highly politicized scientific fraud
The BMJ, in essence, has been caught pulling off what may be the largest scientific fraud ever perpetrated by any medical journal in the history of the world. It grossly misrepresented the facts in falsely accusing Dr Wakefield of fabricating the clinical trial data that led to his landmark study being published in The Lancet in 1998. The innocence of Dr Wakefield has now been established by these newly-released documents.

The British Medical Journal also failed to disclose that its own finances are largely funded by vaccine manufacturers who fill the journal with paid advertising, and that such financial ties may have influenced the journal's decision to attempt to destroy the reputation of a researcher whose findings threatened the profits of its top sponsors. If you follow the money in this story, in other words, it leads right to the editors of BMJ, whose salaries are effectively financed by vaccine manufacturers. This all-important conflict of interest is almost never discussed in the mainstream media, by the way.

In light of the evidence that has now been made public, clearing Dr Andrew Wakefield of any wrongdoing, Dr Wakefield is publicly demanding that the BMJ issue a full retraction of its Brian Deer article accusing Dr Wakefield of fabricating the data. His statement is entitled, "Uncovered Documents Prove There Was No Fraud in Lancet Case Series" and is included here in its entirety:

And this came out yesterday:

Video Information

Interview with Dr Andrew Wakefield about the British Medical Journal, science and vaccines. In this video interview, Dr Wakefield says that BMJ is factually incorrect in accusing Wakefield of falsifying the study data in his 1998 paper published in The Lancet.

"[The data] were faithfully reproduced in the Lancet paper, and they were made in the most scrupulous, meticulous way. Those are the facts. Brian Deer knew those facts. When he made his allegations to the BMJ, he knew those facts. Did he disclose them to the BMJ? More importantly, did the BMJ, as a peer reviewed scientific journal, did they check the facts? Because the facts were fully available to them in the book Callous Disregard."

Dr Wakefield also explains how this desperate move by the BMJ to attack Dr Wakefield has eroded the credibility of the publication:

"They have been hijacked by a freelance journalist who is not expert in any of these fields. They have handed over their journal to this man and allowed him to publish knowingly false allegations, and they have gone along with it. In my opinion, they [the BMJ] have blown their scientific credibility. In their desperation... their fundamental belief that vaccines must be safe, [they say] please don't tell me this terrible disease has been caused by the physician, don't tell me that. Tell me anything but that, and we will take any information, even information from Brian Deer, that will convince us it's safe, and we will publish that, because that conforms with our belief system. That makes us feel more comfortable. That makes us feel that we, as a profession, are not culpable in this extraordinary disorder."

In this interview, Dr Wakefield also discusses the motivation for the BMJ to grasp at any effort to discredit those who question the safety of vaccines:

"They are so keen to prove me wrong, to prove the parents wrong, and to exonerate the medical profession, their political friends, their pharmaceutical friends, whoever it is, that

Science Magazine recently interviewed Seth Mnookin:

"Why the 'Prius Driving, Composting' Set Fears Vaccines"
http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2011/01/why-the-prius-driving-composting.html?ref=hp

In it the interviewer and Mnookin acknowledge that affluent and well-educated parents tend to reject vaccinations for their children.

However, Mnookin then claims that it's due to fear, mainly fear of autism. What b.s.! Most people I know who are against vaccines have done a ton of research, and autism is not even in the top five reasons why they don't do it. This is yet another smear campaign to discredit people who don't just blindly follow the dictates of the AMA.

As for anti-vaccine parents saying that not vaccinating is a "personal decision," I haven't heard that either. How about the fact that it's our RIGHT not to vaccinate (at least so far)?

It's also despicable to compare not vaccinating to drunk driving. But I'll bet those who think vaccines are the holy grail of medicine are quaking in their shoes and eager for a witch hunt. Poor Dr. Wakefield!

Isn't it interesting that not ONE of the original parents whose children Wakefield examined have come out against him? Not one.

*********************************

Q: There's a perception that vaccine refusal is especially common among affluent, well-educated, politically liberal parents—is there any truth to that?

S.M.: It's dangerous to make broad generalizations about a group, but anecdotally and from the overall data that's been collected it seems to be people who are very actively involved in every possible decision regarding their children's lives. I think it relates to a desire to take uncertainty out of the equation. And autism represents such an unknown. We still don't know what causes it and we still don't have good answers for how to treat it. So I think that fear really resonates.

Also I think there's a fair amount of entitlement. Not vaccinating your child is basically saying I deserve to rely on the herd immunity that exists in a population. At the most basic level it's saying I believe vaccines are potentially harmful, and I want other people to vaccinate so I don't have to. And for people to hide under this and say, "Oh, it's just a personal decision," it's being dishonest. It's a personal decision in the way drunk driving is a personal decision. It has the potential to affect everyone around you.

No one threatens the 2 Trillion plus HIC (Health Industrial Complex)

He's lucky they didnt kill him.

T


the HIC hired a complete goon squad to deal with people like me who develop & advertise consumer-oriented websites like LASIK-Flap.com

there's a list of about 20 such websites, i'll post it sometime.

the goon squad included -
* a goon named Glenn
* attorneys
* web PR people
* MD's.

anyway, it is possible to stand up to the HIC but they do get pissed when you do it.

in my case i was threatened with lawsuits for "trademark infringement" because i made no false statements that would have enabled a libel or defamation lawsuit.

If an organization with the mandate to test the safety of something, wants to prevent anyone from saying 'know the risks'...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/blog/2011/apr/18/anti-vaccine-advertisement-times-square

For 17 days, every hour for 15 seconds, a controversial message is being sold to the American public via a CBS billboard in Times Square, New York. A photograph of a mother cradling her naked baby is accompanied by the words: "Vaccines: Know the risks." This image is faded out, and replaced by the Statue of Liberty and "Vaccination. Your Health. Your Family. Your Choice."

The advert is paid for and endorsed by the non-profit National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) and Mercola.com (self-proclaimed World's Number 1 Natural Health Website), and will be shown until 28 April.

CBS Outdoor has faced a massive backlash for its choice of clientele: both NVIC and Mercola are viewed by many as anti-vaccine propagandists.

In particular, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), one of the many organisations responsible for testing the safety of vaccinations, is urging the company to remove the ad.

On 13 April, Dr Marion Burton, president of the AAP, wrote to Wally Kelly, CBS Outdoor chairman, describing her organisation as having "worked hard to protect children and their families from unfounded and unscientific misinformation regarding vaccine safety". It seems the 15-second ad is undoing all its hard work.

The letter states: "The AAP's 60,000 member pediatricians urge you to remove these harmful messages ... Please do your part to help reassure parents that vaccinating their children ... is the best way to protect them from diseases."

The AAP is not alone in demanding that CBS remove the ad. Blogs are urging readers to sign a petition to get it removed, and there are campaigns such as Stop Jenny against McCarthy's celebrity endorsement. They describe the ad as "misinformed consent" – linking parents to sites that aren't scientifically accurate.

CBS has yet to comment publicly on the negative attention surrounding the campaign.

Would an ad campaign like this be allowed to run in the UK? It seems unlikely given the recent [non-scientific reporter's attack] of Andrew Wakefield's research linking the MMR vaccine to autism.

Interestingly, Wakefield continues to work in America, despite being accused of fraud by the BMJ [who funded the non-scientific reporter] and struck off by the General Medical Council. Having resigned from the NHS for being (in his words) "unpopular", he set up the Thoughtful House foundation in Texas, which researches autism.

Wakefield's research continues to be recognised by Thoughtful House and the National Autism Association, despite having been discredited by the AAP and the American Medical Association.

In America, it seems, Wakefield, Mercola, NVIC and Jenny McCarthy enjoy the freedom [to be concerned about threats to public health], without fear of being hounded by the media. Perhaps that is why CBS has allowed its Times Square billboard to be used by the campaign: the American media just don't care enough to kick up a fuss.

Sorry I was in the mood for a few [corrections], that the posts above should justify.

When the real fraud is committed by the pro-vaccine researchers, the main corporate media does not mention his actual research.

A scientist in Denmark has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Atlanta for allegedly stealing $1 million in grant money that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had earmarked for autism research.

U.S. prosecutors on Wednesday said they are seeking to extradite Poul Thorsen, 49, accused of wire fraud and money laundering.

He used the stolen money to buy a home in Atlanta, a Harley Davidson motorcycle and two cars, prosecutors said.

"Grant money for disease research is a precious commodity," said Sally Yates, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, in a news release.

"When grant funds are stolen, we lose not only the money, but also the opportunity to better understand and cure debilitating diseases."

Thorsen, a visiting scientist at the Atlanta-based CDC in the 1990s, helped two government agencies in Denmark obtain $11 million in research grants.

Central Figure in CDC Vaccine Safety Studies Investigated for Fraud (http://www.naturalnews.com/028558_vaccines_fraud.html#ixzz1JzfDUw10)
Monday, April 12, 2010 by: Tony Isaacs

(NaturalNews) One of the central figures in the Center for Disease Control`s (CDC) claims about vaccine safety is reported to be under investigation by Danish police after almost $2 million turned up missing that was supposed to have been spent on research. Dr. Poul Thorsen, one of the researchers involved in two highly publicized autism reports published in the influential New England Journal of Medicine, was accused of fraud last month by Aarhus University in Denmark.

According to reports, Thorsen`s fraud was uncovered as the result of an investigation by the university where he worked and CDC. The investigation found that Thorsen had falsified documents and, in violation of university rules, was accepting salaries from both the Danish university and Emory University. At Emory University, which is located in Atlanta near CDC headquarters, Thorsen led research efforts to defend the role of vaccines in causing autism and other neurological disorders.

Thorsen was a leading member of a Danish research group that wrote several key studies supporting CDC`s claims that the MMR vaccine and other mercury-laden vaccines were safe for children. Thorsen`s 2003 Danish study concluded that mercury could not be the culprit behind the increase in autism. In the study, Thorsen noted a 20-fold increase in autism in Denmark after that country banned mercury based preservatives in its vaccines.

The 2003 study has long been criticized as fraudulent. It failed to disclose or account for increases in reports of autism due to the result of new mandates requiring that autism cases be reported for the first time. It is believed that the new mandates and the opening of an autism treatment in Copenhagen accounted for the sudden rise in reported cases after the removal of mercury from vaccines in Denmark.

From August to October of 2003, three articles on the autism-mercury controversy were published in close succession, all of which used data from a Danish registry for psychiatric research to assess the relationship between autism trends and the use of thimerosal. SafeMinds accessed the registry at the time and reported that a large percentage of diagnosed autism cases are lost from the Danish registry each year and that most of those lost cases were older children. Since the studies were based on finding fewer older thimerosal-exposed children than younger unexposed children, the validity of their conclusion exonerating thimerosal in autism was questionable and likely a result of missing records rather than true lower incidence rates among the exposed group.

In addition, internal emails obtained via FOIA document discussion between the Danish researchers and Thornsen which acknowledge that the studies did not include the latest data from 2001 where the incidence and prevalence of autism was declining which would be supportive of a vaccine connection.

After Thorsen`s study, CDC and mainstream media were quick to jump on the bandwagon of pointing to the study as proof that mercury-laced vaccines are safe for infants and young children, even at concentrations hundreds of times over the U.S. safety limits. Thorsen`s Danish studies from 2002 and 2003 are widely referred to by groups that dispute the vaccine connection to autism and nervous system disorders. A spokesman for the US Surgeon General`s Office called the reports` conclusions that no connection exists "irrefutable".

Thorsen, who is a psychiatrist and not a research scientist or toxicologist, used his studies to build a lucrative long-term relationship with CDC. He built a research empire called the North Atlantic Epidemiology Alliances (NANEA) that advertised its close association with CDC. Thorsen and his research staff at the center have churned out numerous research papers, many of which assure the public about vaccine safety. In all, CDC is reported to have paid Thorsen`s center $14.6 million since 2002.

Earlier this month, Thorsen resigned from his position in the US as adjunct professor at Drexel University in Philadelphia. The timing of the investigation and Thorsen`s resignation coincide with a US Court of Federal Claims last Friday, which ruled against parents asserting that the MMR vaccines were responsible for their children`s health problems. In addition, Thorsen`s partner Kreesten Madsen recently came under fire after damning e-mails surfaced showing Madsen working with CDC officials intent on fraudulently cherry picking facts to prove vaccine safety.

Thorsen`s widely referenced research articles have been published in major scientific journals. Questions about the validity of Thorsen`s studies and his scientific integrity may force CDC to rethink the vaccine protocols since most of the other key pro vaccine studies cited by CDC rely on Thorsen`s research group`s work.

Vaccinations are the holy Grail of medicine. You are not even allowed to question it. Just like the holocaust!


yes. i mentioned it at the gym, a retired doctor who practices allopathic medicine attempted to correct me.
