ARTICLES LETTERS & PAPERS about DR. ANDREW WAKEFIELD
Dr. Andrew Wakefield, MB. BS. FRCS, FRCPath
In 1998, gastroenterologist Dr. Andrew Wakefield identified a new type of bowel syndrome in children who became autistic after injection with MMR vaccine. The vaccine establishment savaged Wakefield for suggesting a link between MMR and the newly identified autistic enterocolitis. He was driven from his research position at London’s Royal Free hospital and blacklisted in medical circles. Yet his work has been replicated by other researchers. In February, 2005, autism researchers at the University of New Jersey Medical School confirmed Wakefield’s original findings and found evidence of marked inflammatory and immune abnormalities in children with autism associated with gastrointestinal symptoms: http://www.whale.to/vaccines/wakefield.html
