Wakefield struck off the medical register
 
Andrew Wakefield has today been struck off the medical register for
serious professional misconduct . The GMC said he acted in a way that
was dishonest, misleading and irresponsible and that there were
"multiple separate instances of serious professional misconduct".

Since the profit takers have struck him, You think that it means that
he was wrong. You missed the part where they say it was not for the
science behind his work. But you and those like you do not care for real
science do you? Why do you hate everyone?

So can he still act as a 'consultant' like he was doing on some cases
here in the US? Or is he barred from giving any medical advice.


As you should be.

There is no question whatsoever that he was wrong both in his
behaviour (the cause of the GMC case) and his science such as it was.
His autism/MMR hypothesis depended entirely upon the finding of
measles vaccine virus in the gut of the children. It is beyond doubt
that he did not find any measles virus. The results of the tests
carried out at Unigenetics, upon which he relied, have been proven to
be wrong and caused by poor working practice and contamination.

So if a Doctor or Homopathetic person feeds you arsenic and you die, that it
is ok by you as long as their science was "sound".

Too bad you lack the education to know what science is.

His actions outside the UK is not the responsibility of the GMC.

In somewhat related news, Dr. Mary Jean Brown has NOT been struck off
the medical register and was NOT removed from her position despite
egregious scientific fraud harming thousands of children and adults in
Washington, DC. Specifically, this Chief of the Lead Poisoning
Prevention at CDC intentionally lied about - what else? - lead
contamination of tap water.

"the CDC paper analyzed the blood of children and adults living with
lead levels in their tap water 20 times the amount raising concern --
and said not one was suffering from elevated lead. Brown and her
co-authors knew, however, that most of those tested had been drinking
*bottled* or *filtered* water before their blood was analyzed."

That just demonstrates that such punishments do not necessarily
have anything to do with professional misconduct.
